HCG levels

[pepemint]

I had my blood drawn to test for pregnancy and my hcg levels came back at 34. They re-tested 3 days later and they came back at 121. They have confirmed that I am pregnant, but they did not give me an approximate due date. I go back to the doctor next week...but I am dying to know approximately how far along I am. Any ideas out there????

It has been a long week for me! I have never spoken on one of these but I would like 2 share! I found out I was pregnant last Friday.. My boyfriend and I couldn't have been happier. Sunday I woke up bleeding and knew it was the worst.. The doctor told me I was having a threatened miscarriage. The nurse called me and said my blood test came back negative though ? I found out that I was preg with 3 positive home test btw. I had an ultrasound the following day and the doc again said I was not preg. They then gave me a blood test to say that I am preg but my hcg was at 10 and since I was bleeding they said I was miscarrying. They wanted me to go back 2 days later which is today to check my levels and they doubled from 11 to 32 or 33.. My bleeding has stopped. I am going for another blood test Monday. I am super nervous and hoping for the best.

I have my hcg bloodwork with me now and it shows the average hcg levels at each week of pregnancy.  According to the levels at 5th week it is expected 25- 7340 and by the six week 1080-56500 if all is well.  So I figure you will be between 5-6 weeks at present.

Your doc well go by the LMP if it was nov3rd You would be 6weeks today. with a due date of aug.10th ish......But your u/s should tell you for sure......Good Luck....

yeah, i figured the hcg levels didn't tell much about how far along we are. BUT...was kinda holding out hope that it might give some sort of clue :)

i'll wait patiently for the ultrasound LOL

Oh, I just realized you posted your LMP. Anyway, you're probably due the end of July.

[njeosys]

You can't tell how far along you are based on your HCG levels because they can vary so greatly. You need to know when you ovulated or when your period was due in order to get a good idea of when you're due.

Your doctor will probably do an ultrasound in order to determine how far along you are. You're probably brand-spanking-new pregnant. Probably around four weeks.

When was your LMP?

[pepemint]

i guess they are going to draw blood again on tuesday. after that we should probably be able to guestimate the due date a little better???

it is great im so happy for you my second child is aug 12

[pepemint]

that is what I was thinking :) I am so excited!!

[neasyc]

well your hcg more than doubled that is very good

[pepemint]

that's cool, cuz my bday is aug 3 :)

[pepemint]

yeah, i did some google searches and it says august 9 for a due date, and that I would be 6 weeks along. but if I were 6 weeks along, I would think the HCG levels would be higher. I'm thinking I might have conceived really late or something. I am anxious to get back to the dr :)

[neasyc]

checked in a book i have it sayes around 10 aug congrats

[neasyc]

well a quick way of getting a date is add 9 months and one week to that

[pepemint]

[neasyc]

i would say pritty early when was your last period
