Hi there,
My name is Kimberly and I am 39 years old. I have a 3 month old daughter born on Oct 5, and I am around 6.5 weeks pregnant. My Lmp was Nov 27th, I took a pregnancy test 5 days before my period which was negative, and then took another test about a week after my period was due and had a faint positive.
I had my first Hcg draw on Jan 13th which was 30678
Jan 14th I had an ultrasound which showed a 6 week fetus with a heartbeat of 125.
Jan 15 I had my second Hcg draw which was 37,500 (the second test was done 46 hours after the first)
I just came back from the doctors who did not seem at all concerned about those numbers, in fact he said he was satisfied that this is viable. He said for my own peace of mind I can have an U/S in two weeks to make sure all was ok. I was always told(and also have read) that if the numbers were not doubling, the pregnancy was not viable, or it was probably an impending miscarriage.
Needless to say I am both confused and worried. I don't know why they did not have me go for a 3-4 test since I have read that after 6000 hcg it takes up to 4 days to double, there was only 46 hours between the two of mine.
Do these numbers concern you at all?
Thank you so much
Kimberly
