If your HCG numbers are low but still doubling is there a problem?
Hi everyone,
I am supposed to be around 6weeks when I took my last HCG count according to my LMP 7/19 but Sept 5 I got my HCG done and it was only 542.6. I mean it rose from 296.2 a couple of days before but isnt that low? Does anyone know??

your levels may sound low but if they are doubling then i think you should be fine. my levels were about that but the werent doubling and found out i had an eptopic. but like i said yours are doubling which is what they are supposed to do. so good luck and Congrats!!!
See it scares me that they are sooo low.. I mean now its Sept 11th That is a week later. I would be curious to find out what they are now but my Doc has decided enough of the blood test cuz they have went from 41. 113. 159. 296. 542. and my posterone was 14.60 so I get a US this coming friday the 15th but of course im drivng myself crazy praying that they will see my baby where is should be!!
Every woman and pregnancy is different the fact that your lavels are doubling is a VERY GOOD sign and they also could be low because you are not as far along as you think. were you charting your temps or anything like that? i am assuming you were ttc, the sperm can live for up to 5 days (i have also heard 7 days) it may have been fertilized later then you think. But like i said it looks good!!
See thats what I think too. No I wasnt TTC. It just happend. So you are right im not sure when I concieved. All I have to go by is my LMP. That was one of the docs theories that I may have concieved later than I thought!
My numbers went from 305 to 750 right around the week 5 marker. I was curious about them being low as well, the Dr. said they are more concerned about them doubling. I am now 19wks, 5d and we just found out I am having another boy and everything looks good.
