Hcg levels

[missygwen]

I have had 3 miscarriages and 2 live births.  I am 4.5 weeks pregnant.  At 3.5 weeks I had Hcg level tests and it was 570.  3 days later it was 1600.  My doctor moved my ultrasound up from June 5 to May 27 and it concerns me.  I am 36 so at higher risk for a baby with Down's.  Anybody know what's considered high?  I know there is a huge range - looking at this is all I've done for a week!

ok take a breather, the doctor will not be able to know how your HCG level match up with your baby until he is able to give you a sonogram that matches your HCG Levels. If your sono shows your baby being at lets say "10 weeks, then your blood should match this but you have to have an actual image beyond the black spot" That's why he was waiting for june but since your levels are climbing really high he suspects that there should be a image to match that at this point. I hope that helps you some. Maybe your older than you think in gestation.
