Hcg progression concern
Show your support
@Maddie My last period was February 15th but I ovulated on March 7th so natural cycles is telling me 4 weeks and 6 days
I’m not sure if it works definitely in the us to where I am in the uk (not sure how this popped up for me) but I had two tests 48 hrs apart and the number was meant to double but we found out on Friday it only increased by 58% so I was anxious all weekend waiting for our appointment on Monday with the clinic. I had a scan on Monday at 7 weeks and everything was fine, we saw the heartbeat and baby was measuring a day ahead. I hope this reassures you x
@Shauna do you happen to remember the numbers?
Yes, at 6w I was 25335 and 37500 at 6w 2d
They did say that my first number was very high to the point it could have been twins but it didn’t double as it can slow down when HCG hits a peak
How do you test hCG levels?
@Stacey via blood tests
@Stacey it’s a blood test
Hey hun! I’m not a doctor but your levels look great to me. Timing plays a big part too. Let’s say on 3/24 you got your blood drawn at 2pm exactly but then on 3/26 you got them drawn at 1pm exactly so one hour difference it could have very well not have double because of that! Typically hcg doubles every 48-72 hours. Your last one was VERY close to double literally only 80 off so try not to stress too much try to think positive!
@Ari thank you Ari!!! Your voice of reason made me feel a lot better!
Good I’m glad!! Are you able to get one more draw to ease your nerves? Or maybe a dating scan to see if everything is going as it should? If your doctor won’t do it I know around my area they have a place that schedules same day appointments and appointments within a couple days as for pregnancy confirmation i went there for my first to ease my anxiety and they ended up doing an ultrasound then and there! Do you know if there’s a place like that around your area?
I was able to schedule a dating scan for April 2nd (last period was Feb 11) because of irregular periods and the fact that we were in the middle of testing for pcos and stuff and to ease my horrible anxiety.. i tend to worry a lot about ectopic and things like that even tho I don’t necessarily have a “reason” to. Anyways im getting off track. I hope it all ends up going well for you and you are able to ease your worries soon! I really feel like because of your history they should have scheduled you for an early ultrasound not because they think something could be wrong but mainly to ease your worries
@Ari unfortunately there’s nothing like that around here. Either have to go to the emergency room or wait until my doctor will see me :(
As long as you hcg is not decreasing I wouldn’t worry to much, a in your HCg can be a sign of a miscarriage
How far along are you?
