What were your HCG and progesterone levels in weeks 4 and 5?

angeladowns1 · January 2017

Hey everyone!

I got my results back from my first and second betas, my first draw at 4w4d was 252 and today (almost exactly 72 hours later) was 526. I know they're supposed to double every 48 hours, should I be nervous that it took longer than that? And are those numbers low for where I'm at? Progesterone is at 12.5 so I'm starting suppositories today. It was low with my son too, so I think I just don't make enough of it.

What were your ladies numbers? Did they double in 48 hours? Thanks!

I posted about progesterone about 1.5-2 weeks ago and a decent amount of people answered in there.

Mine was 9.9 at about 4 weeks. I was put on crinone. My 2nd PG was low as well (12 something) and I was put on crinone then too. They told me they weren't concerned with my HCG level but I've only gotten results back from my 1st blood draw. Hoping to hear back tonight or tomorrow from my 2nd.

My blood was taken last week on Wednesday---rough figuring at 4w3days (assuming I O'd when they think) and my HCG was only 186. Took it again today and will have it back tomorrow. Trying not to freak myself out too. Just praying that everything is ok

4w3d/15 DPO: 198
4w5d/17 DPO: 376 (46.5hr doubling time)
5w2d/21 DPO: 1,571 (46.5hr doubling time)

Thanks ladies those are awesome resources! According to betabase, my #'s are almost dead on the median if I ovulated or implanted like a day or two later than I thought. Makes me feel way better!

Got the call that everyhting is good!!! Phew!!! Anyone else wish that they didn't share these things with us? They tell you stress isn't good then "well your numbers are lower" WTF moment of the day.

I had my first blood work and my dr called (should've known something was up when the nurse didn't call) and said hcg was lower but to be expected since I was so early. Also told me my progesterone was low and wanted to put me on crinone again. I was shocked so I didn't ask the actual numbers, just said okay. Then I had an appt with the nurse to go over what to expect and I asked her what my progesterone was and that's when I found out the number. I was less stressed when I didn't know the actual number. Lol

@SSminnow426 that's great news!! I'm so happy for you!
Set up my first appointment for the 30th, but I just keep going back and forth with feeling like my numbers are good and then being a nervous wreck and thinking they're too low. It sucks that they're bordering on "low" and "normal" because even though the doctor isn't worried, I feel like it's 50/50 right now. Why can't they just be a little bit higher to calm my insanity down a little?
