Is my hCG level low?

Forums New posts
Glad your levels went up so well! Was it the doc that called you?! I can't believe he/she said that, maybe they didn't realize you were sooo early! Your numbers aren't low at all and your progression was fabulous. I'd agree with other posters, definitely need a new ob!

Nope it was the doctor on call. You can bet first thing tomorrow morning I'm calling my doctor & bitching her out. That's kind of a HUGE mistake to make, you know? And she definitely knew how early I was. I told her many many times I was only 3 weeks.

That is amazing news!! I am just a few day behind you....had a MC in March this year and just got BFP at 11dpo. Dr wanted to do betas because of the MC and mine came in at 29. Dr said it was normal and had my second draw this past weekend on Saturday so have to wait for those results tomorrow....fingers crossed this is our rainbow!! Hoping I get good news like you!!! :hugs:
 
that is absoultely NOT LOW. I'm glad you fought to get a second one, also, I would get a new doc that is bs.
 
UPDATE: My doc wants them done every 48 hours now. My 3rd beta was today & it was 443! ALL SMILES! :) SO GLAD I stuck to my gut & made them order me a 2nd one!

FX for you girl!
 
Got my levels back yesterday and they more than doubled!! Went up to 79 and since progesterone is also good, Dr. said unless there are any complications (pain or bleeding like last time) she'd see me for our first US on 8/5!! So super excited right now and I just can't believe it!!

so my stats are --- 3w= BFP, 3w1d = 29HCG, 3w3d = 79 HCG

Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers!!

Yayyy good news!!
 
Was just going to say the same thing! Very happy for you ladies and here's to a happy and healthy 9 months!
 
That is great news ladies. A very healthy and event-free 9 mos for you.:flower:
Can I ask if you felt stronger symptoms that indicated your HCG was going up?

The reason why I ask is that my 2nd HCG (at 16dpo) only went up 61% in 48hours and I have to go for another check Friday (20dpo) and I'm a nervous wreck because my symptoms have decreased significantly from my initial BFP. I know it's normal for symptoms to change, and I am being a worrywart, but the nurse really scared the you know what out of me, especially since I mostly only feel different after I apply the progesterone cream.

My symptoms are definitely decreasing, but my levels are still going up up up!
 
Another update: My 4th beta came back at 1,007! So it jumped to that from 443! Doc says there no reason to go through with the beta on Friday. Instead he scheduled my first ultrasound for Monday morning... So excited!! :)
 
My symptoms are going away slightly, but my levels are still going up too! Still doing the poas thing as I still can't believe it and my lines now are DARKER than the control lines, and the clear blue test with weeks estimator is going up too!!

I don't feel the same pulling and tugging in my belly as I did in the beginning probably the little bean settling in, but I have definately gotten more nauseated in the past few days in the am's. Has to be a good sign too as I didn't have that with my previous MC.

I can't believe you get to have an US on Monday -- so jealous!! My first one isn't scheduled until 8/5! And now we wait. LOL. :)

So excited and happy for all of us!! And yes, this is a happy thread! I am so glad that we have all come back to post on here so that others will feel more encouraged that they can have their rainbow too after going through a loss! :hugs!!!
 
That is great news sn0wbunnie!

And thanks for the reassurance sn0wbunnie and taquito. I go for my next level check in the morning and I am a nervous wreck. I haven't been POAS any more this week because I didn't want to work myself up any more and I still have the pressure and twinging and persistant lack of appetite so while I feel less pregnant than I did when I was first diagnosed, it is very likely that I've just gotten used to how I am feeling with some symptoms coming and going.

Good luck Bookwrmgal!!

I'll be thinking about you and hope you get good news! Keep us posted when you have an update! :).

Mine was 135 at 14dpo (4 weeks)....doctor said it didn't look good and then it was 470 and 16dpo and here I am now...it's the doubling that matters not the number

Just seen your updates...Yay!
