HCG level 121

I tested positive 14 dpo using a first response home test. Because of medication I am on for a brain tumor I had to test at the Dr. right away to be sure as I have to stop taking the meds. They had me do blood and urine as they weren't sure urine would test positive at only 4 weeks.

They both came back positive and my quantity of HGC was at 121. Has anyone else known there level? This is my fourth baby and I have never been told my levels before. Hoping for the best!

My first Hcg level was 320 on CD 35 and went up to 720 2days later.

This is my first high risk pregnancy, so I will be having more appointments than in the past once I get past the early stages. My tumor may be the type that thrives on pregnancy hormones, if it is it will grow and take out my vision. My baby and I are also at risk because this is c-section # 4. If the placenta implants on any of the scar tissue it can grow through it into my bladder and I would bleed to death. So I guess I can understand why I am a bit freaked out. Typically I am the calm cool collected type.

Thanks very much. My 3rd child and first son passed away full term at birth 7 months ago. So I am a nervous wreck that something bad will happen this time around too. I am hoping for smooth sailing...

this is a very good level for this early in pregnancy, they should double every 2/3 days or go up by 60% every 2 days. Its one way to check if a pregnancy is viable, other than ultrasound when your early on in the pregnancy. Congratulations :)
