Hello.. I had a scan today too. I am 7 weeks and 3 days. I had my levels tested 2 weeks ago today. It was over 13,000. Well today when I went in for my scan (I am high risk) the nurse from my Dr office came to see me. She said, "The Dr wanted me to rest my HCG today and friday... Im just confused as to why.
In my 3rd pregnancy (the only pregnancy that resulted in a baby) I concieved twins. I lost one in the first 8 weeks. Then my son was born at 31 weeks. My levels werent nearly as good as they are this time... So Im just confused as to why they need my levels now... When they were SO hire!
I ended up having my scan early. Saw that little beating heart (only just) - it was amazing. There was definitely one and a ?? shadow, but he didn't want to go probing too much (it was a TV scan). I asked the doctor if I could do follow up bloods for prog and hCG just for my own curiosity and I nearly passed out!! Prog was 59.2 and hCG was 114319!!! I can't believe it's so high at only 8 weeks. Dr John basically said that the number itself (hCG) was not as significant as the fact that it's still going up but the prog is super high. I'm not feeling that I'm in the miscarriage risk zone this time. TG. Nuchal scan is on July 7 so it will be interesting to see how things are going. I still have the feeling that there is 2 in there. I can feel the small melon size of my uterus which I've not been able to feel this early in my previous 2 pregnancies and I'm so much sicker than my others as well. I'll keep you posted. How's things in your camp? xxOOxx
I had bloodwork on May 22 to confirm the pregnancy and the doctor never told me what the levels were. But, then again, I never knew what they were with DS either, so I'm not expecting to hear anything about that unless there's a problem - which I hope there won't be!!!!
Yours are very high too...have you had an ultrasound yet? Let me know how it goes!! :)
At 15dpo I had levels of 1510 and at 19dpo my levels were 8570. Dr. said they were looking very good.
I am sorry about your numbers...I wish you the best.
Hun your number look great I wish mine were doin the same I found out on the 25 we were prego but my numbers are really low . On the 25 they were only a 90 9 days later they were at 140 and yesterday they were only 240 so be happy ours and so high.Good luck.
wow!! Yours are really high!! I really am thrilled that they are high..I started out with low progesterone before I got pregnant, so I was terrified that I would miscarry. My progesterone looks awesome..at 4 weeks it was almost 49!
Your scan is the day after my ultrasound!! Keep me posted..I'm wishing you the best!!!
Thank you for responding to my post...I'm just so excited I can barely stand it!! :)

Hi Cari, I've had several miscarriages prior to this pregnancy so yes, I'm keeping track. My levels are HUGE though, so I'm not sure whether I should be elated or terrified. At 4w4d the hCG was at 9358 and today (3 days later) a 5w0d are on 24786!! I'm booked in for a scan on June 4 and can't wait to see if there is more than 1 little critter in there roasting away. The flip side of my brain is praying it's not a mole which is a possibility with super high levels also. I guess i just have to wait.
Congrats to you!! It's such a good feeling to see things going up the way they should. I would have been devastated if the Dr told me today that my levels had dropped. I know that happens to some ladies and I have complete empathy for each and every one of them. :(
sorry about the spelling!! LOL!!
