i am pregant, are my levels normal

ok well i just found out this past week that i am pregnant according to hpt, i took like 5 test and all positive. i have had 2 m/c in the past yr...MLP was dec. 5, 2010 i got blood work done yesterday to check hcg levels, i am technically 7 weeeks... and dr. said levels were at 56, she said it was normal but said according to the number i am only 3-4 weeks, confusing but suppose to go in tomrrow for another test to see if levels are going up, just wanted to say me and my husband have been trying off and on for about 1 yr and a half i have pcos and i actually got pregnant this time on our own no meds....i want this to be it but i have my doubts....anyone have any incite on my situation? is it possible to have a number that low and still be at 7 weeks and it still be ok?

Hey, my LMP was Dec 7th, so I'm right about where you are. I had my HCG tests done last week (when he said I was 6 weeks) and my level was 922 .... He thought that was a little low for 6 weeks.... and had me go in for more blood work 2 days later. Every 2 days, your level should double. 2 days later mine had more than tripled... so thats a good sign.

Did you doctor recommend you take another test to see that your level doubles in 2 days? Its more important that the level is doubling every 2 days than what the actual number is.

hey there, yes i go in tomorrow for my 2nd daw, i am jus a little concerned bc LMP was dec 5, but she said acording to the numbers i am only 3-4 weeks not 7 which means either i ovulated later than normal or i ovulated without having a period, and the last time i ovulated without a period i m/c so just scared and anxious to find out what is goin on...want this so much.....i have mcos with one falopian tube so it was a miracle in itself that i even concieved... do u know of anyone who has had a similar expierience...i hope all goes well with u and that is awsome that ur levels are good..hopefully mine atleast double when i get drawn tomorrow....

Your levels sound fine. As long as they're going up as they should then everything should be alright.

It isn't the number itself that matters but that the HCG numbers increase about double every 2-3 days. So you need a second test done to see if your levels are over 130.

Make sure you post back and let me know what your levels are! I dont really know anyone else who has been in a similar situation.. Im only 20 so I dont have many friends who have had babies yet. I obsess over everything with this pregnancy though.. I was FREAKING out waiting for my beta results for the second day.... and everytime i have a little pain I am running to the bathroom and making sure Im not bleeding.... am I the only one who is so nutty about it!? It wasnt even planned and I wasnt sure I was even happy about it at first, but now I am freaking out over everything so concerned and wanting everything to be good!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

As the others have said, levels don't indicate how far along you are or if the pregnancy is viable. The important part is that they rise. You might have ovulated late or had late implantation which would not make you as far as you think. Remember LMP is only a guideline and isn't exact.

thanks for that...i will def post back i went and got my blood drawn this morning she told me i should get a call after 3 today so hopefully i will have some good news....i know what u mean i am 24 and me and my husband got married about 2 yrs ago but started trying right away....we have been together for almost 7 ys and this is the first time i have gotten a positive hpt...all the others i found out when i was actually m/c so hopin the best

[heylauramae]

Any news?!!! ...

I wasn't trying when I got pregnant.. it just happened - I have only been with my boyfriend a couple of months... and we had only been sexually active for about 2, 2.5 months when i found out I was pregnant. Its a blessing, life is a great thing... but I am so shocked it happened so fast! I hope we can stick together and make it work... I always hoped I'd atleast be engaged first when I became pregnant, but hey.... Such is life!

Still have my fingers crossed for you
