HCG levels and twins
Nov 18, 2008 02:54PM in the Maternal & Child Community
Your HCG levels for 19 days post transfer (~5 weeks gestational age of fetus) are well within the norm for a singleton pregnancy in which HCG levels typically range from ~800-20,000. Congratulations and good luck with your pregnancy.

Abortion is always such a sensitive topic and unfortunately, almost all posts on this topic end up being removed due to the outburst it ultimately causes. I really feel there should be a place for women going through this to post and receive support BUT it might be better in its own forum.

Just to add to Peekawhos answer: if your body doesnt expel the fetus naturally within a certain period of time (im not sure what that time is) then medical intervention may be required. In some cases, serious complications can result (infection, calcification of tissue) if the tissue is not passed.
Need help with bleeding, clotting and empty sac in first trimester of pregnancy.

I am sorry you are going through this - my thoughts are with you. All you can do is take it easy until your appointment but if this is a miscarriage (a miscarriage does not always proceed with pain) there is little that can be done. An HCG level of 54 is consistent with a 3 week gestational age fetus and bleeding with clots is a very ominous sign during pre...
