Tanker Chic question about a post you made

[YvetteY]

You said to watch your HCG level with an ectopic.   What might happen with HCG if ectopic..  Are you levels very low ?

I dont know if this will help. I have a good friend whose daughter in law had the same thing that happened to her as you. She got pregnant ,but everytime she would m/c . This happened about 3 times. Finally she got pregnant and just had a baby girl. She said if she miscarried again she would adopt , but she made it and is now a mother, It did happen for her. Also she was in her mid 30s. I hope this helps you.   GOOD LUCK KIM

In my situation they were low and going up but sometimes they would double and sometimes they would not.  At around 4wk 5dy it was 161 and by 6 wks it was still only 1200 or 1300 and u/s could not find anything in the uterus.  I probably should have mentioned that part in the other posting also.  

All the info on the net says that there is a lot of variability in the HCG range but RE told me that since he knew when I conceived, that my HCG should be at certain levels.  He said the variability in the tables is mostly due to variability in time of conception.  He said there are always a couple of non-text book cases but typically, if you know when you conceived, you should expect to see certain levels.  I did not want to believe him at first but in end, there was no doubt that he was right.

I think with an ectopic your levels go higher, quicker
