Is my Hcg normal?

[nellyz]

My First day of the LMP was December 30th, and my ovulation was on 15th of January.  I am 5 days late and I had Home pregnancy test done, which came out positive and today (Dec.31st) I had a blood work done and my HCG level is 263.  Is that normal?  2 Months ago I had a misscarriage on the 5th week of pregnancy, My HCG levels were pretty low then and slowly started to dropp.   I have 3 beautifulle children, but still want more.  Please tell me is my HCG ok?

at 6 weeks you should be able to detect a heartbeat

I am almost 6 weeks, thats how the Doctors count, from the first day of the last period.  On Friday I am going for my first ultrosound.  What week can you see the heart beat?

Hi Guys!!! I got my blood work rezults today and my HCG went up to 7417.  Is the number ok?  From what I understand it's supposed todouble itself every 2 to 3 days?

I was told every woman is different and so are every woman hcg levels. There have been women who had low hcg levels and had healthy beautiful babies. Try not to worry but pray because GOD IS A GOD of miracles and can turn anything around. Think positive and positive things will happen

I am going back for my blood work on sunday, it will be a week.  For now I feel great and hope that my HCG is rising..

[waitn838]

did you go back for more bloodwork?

Big Fat Positive :)

I can have the blood work done when ever I want, here we don't need a refferal for it, but I think I rather wait one week to see it jump!!! What is BFP?

[kristine625]

I agree.  It needs to double within 48 to 72 hours with a minimum increase of 66%.  At least that is my understanding.  One single test will only confirm pregnancy.  Which is obviously positive for you :)  Congrats!!!!

Will you go in for a second beta?  When  did you have the first beta? Can they do another one 48 hours later?    I think you meant to say Jan. 31st, not Dec. 31st for your BFP ;)  If that's the case, can you call and make an appt. to have them test again on Tuesday???

really the only way to tell is to take another test 48 hours after and see it double.. that is what needs to happen to tell if it is a viable pg...
