Hiii, I'm on my phone so it's a bit hard to write a long MSG but I really need some positive stories or something. I'm
at work and I just wanna cry n go into bed under my duvet:-(
story is my levels are not going up as fast as my doctor would like them to be by now.he has never expressed a concern (I have been worrying)he has told me that he wants me to go in for a scan tomorrow (I'll be 5w5d)
as he is concerned about my hcg levels.
I wrote a post before with them.
Off by heart they somethibg like this
15dpo -400
18dpo -805
20dpo -1650
23dpo- 4210
26dpo - 8465 (today)

I did have a few in between but I'm
just writing that they have been doubling every 3 days on one occasion in 2 days.
I'm sooooo scared as he said he was concernd n expected them to be higher by now. Anyone had a similar situation or can help me?? My progesterone is really high too over 900. I asked if that was a prob but receptionist said no but sure if that's true(I'm on gestone n pessaries which they told me to continue with)

I'm going insane:-( I love my little one so much already and praying it's there and growing:-( wish I could feel more positive :-(

Xxxxxxxxx

thank u so much.
 
Sending you tonnes of hugs hun xoxoxIm praying everything will be super:)xx
 
your numbers are likely fine, they are increasing which is the important thing
 
I can't speak on the numbers but I am worried about you going in for a scan so early because it's a possibility you won't see anything or much of anything and it will worry you further. At that early into the pregnancy, it's common to not see everything you "should" see or not see anything at all and then it causes further worry when, in fact, everything is fine.

Best wishes for you, I hope it all works out but if the scan isn't as reassuring as you're expecting... don't give up hope. It may just be too early for a scan to be accurate!
 
From where I live, measurement of hcg is not very common. I can't judge from your numbers but I've same concern as wavescrashove.5 plus weeks by LMP may be too early to see baby. You may only see a sac and be assured its in the right place. Thats all. So pls Do Not worry if you don't see anything other than a sac. ( but congrats if u do see a little baby!)

Your numbers however seems ok to me as they are increasing steadily, not decreasing.

Hope everything goes well. Update here ok? Lotsa hugs.
 
I don't think your doctor should make you worry! Why are they testing your levels every few days? I'm not that far behind you and I haven't had a single blood test yet! HCG levels double roughly every 2 days, but that is an estimate. Your numbers are going up! And from what I've read the average hcg level for 26 dpo is only 4500. You are nearly twice that!

Check this website out (it has an hcg chart):

Your levels are well within normal. So deep breaths and trust in your body.
 
Congratulations! Your numbers are totally fine. Look at the website Stellargaze mentioned - that should help reassure you.

My level was 149 at 14 dpo, 277 at 16dpo, 664 at 18 dpo, 2091 at 21 dpo, and 3672 at 24dpo. My doctor didn't have any concerns about my levels. (It was a frozen embryo transfer and I needed a lot of reassurance, so I had a lot of betas even though they looked fine.)

All of your numbers are higher than mine were, and I'm now 13w1d with a singleton.
 
They look fine to me!

This link is worth a look, gives good info and allows you to calculate doubling time

Hiii, I'm on the train back home!
Scan went fine! I can feel some aches from
the dr prodding me with the scan thingy though!!

I'm soooo suprised but we saw TWO salks and TWO flickering heartbeats! I'm speechless.
I was not expecting that! I questioned my levels and that how come they weren't going up faster if there were two little ones in there, he just said everyones different!
My progeresterone yesterday was 1005 thousand- he said that was good and mean that the little ones weren't that lazy (I said that they might just be lazy that's why my hcg levels take around 60 hours to double!)

thank u sooo much for all ur words!!! They really helped me yesterday! I spend the whole day sooo worried and thinking of the worse.

Still very early days so gonna keep praying so much for my babies. Me and my husban love them soo much!!! Please stay with us little ones <3

xxxxxxxx
 
Congratulations on those wonderful news! I hope You will have a safe and beautiful pregnancy! :)
 
Congratulations mamma! That's great news! Those HCG numbers look great, they need to double every 48-72 hours at that stage of pregnancy, and yours did. I think your doc was just being overly cautious.
 
Congratulations!!! What a surprise to find out your are having twins:) H&H 9 months to you!
 
Thanks sooo much:) we are delighted to say the least! Still feeling cautious!
My level today are 13112 so doubled in two days. It's weird as my hcg woulnt I don't think suggest twins(apart from my beta)!

We are so happy and praying for them to keep growin.

Hope everyone is ok xxxxxxx
