Hcg levels

[i_am_who_i_am]

I was wondering if anyone knows about hcg levels in early pregnancy. My hcg levels went from 139 to 483 in 48 hours. Does that seem like too much a spike?? I am afraid it could indicate an ectopic pregnancy because my doctors are monitoring me because they did not see the baby on the ultrasound but it could be because i was not far enough along they said. And plus I wasnt bleeding or having any major pain.

I wasnt allowed a U/s untill I was12 weeks and I had heavy bleeding... But they said they wouldnt do one untill I am 12 weeks....
Because if you (Meaning me) have a u/s early on then everyone will want one... is whatt I got told!

I can't believe that they even gave you an ultrasound with your levels that low... It is perfectly normal for early pregnancy for your numbers and they doubled so that is an awesome sign... Most doctors won't do an u/s until your numbers reach 1500-2000. Good luck!

Its not all about the number, its whether they are doubling every 48-72 hrs!

sometimes say yor HCG went from like 145 then 2 days later it was like 3456
That could like indicate Multiple pregnancy.

But it doesnt matter about the number the important thing is that they are doubling.
