I am just wondering if anyone could help me from not freaking out at my hcg levels. My husband and I had a IUI procedure done on April 29th and we found out Sunday that we are finally pregnant after 6 tries!! I had five great follicles when they did the procedure. They tell me I am right at about 4 weeks along. My first hcg level test my number was 1,470. Two days later it was 3,101. Is this high for a three week pregnancy? I am a twin and multiples run in my family....should I be scared?

i am new to this and in need of a few questions! after attending a new gyn yesterday, i found out that i was pregnant. unexpected.  i am only 17 and i have been having symptoms for the past 2 weeks. after the news, i was sent to the lab to get blood tests and when my doctor called today, she said that i needed to come back and redo my sample because my hormonal levels were very low. today, after getting my blood drawn i received a call from my doctor. she told me that my hormonal levels went down even more today and that i would be miscarrying. i am very confused/lost. is there any way that i could not miscarry and it could just be too soon for my hormonal levels to be high? in serious need of answers .. thank you!

I am a 32 y/o women with a history of 3 extopic pregnancies. This time it seems be the same but there is confusion about my LMP. I had 2 in arch(strange) and another mini one about the second week of April. I just did an ultrasound and nothing was seen. My Beta's are at 746 nad I would be in the 4th or 5th week? I have some cramping but the docotr says it it normal. Anyone have experience with this?

so if a non-pregnant womans hcg level is 5 and it can start at 5 if ur 3 weeks pregnant, would the doctor describe that as a non-viable or inconclusive pregnancy? I had a test today, and teh doctor didnt even tell me what my hcg level was.

yesterday i started spotting brown/pink blood started really light but get a little heavier.  Went to the ER where the doctor checked Hcg leveld they were 68 on 05/03/07 160 on 05/05/07 and last night on 05/07/07 they were 293 he said that was fine, although i know they didn't fully double, he checked and said my cervix was still closed and all the blood ws brown (old) blood.  they have advised me to stay home for the next few days and monitor bleeding closly.  Notsure if this is the begining or the end.  Have had mild crmps since before i knew i was pregnant and small spotting all the way through doctors figure i am only one-two weeks pregnant anyone know how much i should be worried?

hello!!!

on  april 17th i found out that i was pregnant by doing a home pregnancy test... i had all the sympotoms of being pregnant i just thought i was late because thats how my period is, so i did about 4 more pregnancy tests (lol, i wanted to be  sure) so i wen to my primary doctor and she confirmed that i was pregnant, so i set up an appointment for my ob/gyn, and it was  scheduled for yesterday. Well on Wed. I was at work and i started  bleeding but not heavy, so i called m ob/gyn and she told me to go to the hospital and i wen to the ER and i was there for 10  hours. I thought i was around 7 or 8 weeks, now ive been reading on almost every website, that you cant hear a heartbeat until the 10th week and  no movement begins until the 7th. So they did and  ultrasound on me and said that it measured to be around 6 weeks, but they cold not hear a heartb eat or see any movement, and that i would probably have a miscarriage in 48 hours. At the time they took blood nd told me that my hCG level was 560 and that it dou bles in 48 to 72 hours (pending on the person) and that i should definitly follow up with my ob/gyn on fri. so i went and she  did an ultrasound and she said there was a sac and my uterus but whatever was in there looked abnormal and she said there was a  90 % chance that i  would  have a miscarriage, but  i have not had any cramps or fevers, but im still bleeding... .when she drew blood she said my level was  732.... was was abnormally low... but i dont know if it was only because it hasnt been a full 48 hours or because something is wrong with the baby.  So she told me to come back on mon to check my levels again, has anyone been through this kinnda thing before? Im looking for any hope that i can get.....

thanks
p.s. for the women who have sympoms of pregnancy, a home pregnancy test can not  detect you are pregnant  until the 5th week of your pregnancy, unless you go to the doctor and do a blood test. so dont give up hope.
