HCG levels

When were the first bloods taken?
The number is suppose to double in a 48hour period. Did you get the second result 48hours later? How far along are you
I’m NOT an expert my lovely but I can say I had a similar experience. I had very similar levels with my first pregnancy and they couldn’t see anything on both scans so they recommended an exploratory surgery because they suspected an ectopic pregnancy. I was a little hesitant to have the surgery because they couldn’t see anything on the scan but I’m glad I did as in my case, they were correct. I sincerely hope for you that it’s not. 🙁 Glimpse of hope: I’m now 23 weeks with my second pregnancy and so far he’s doing really well. ❤️
Blood tests were taken exactly 48 hours apart and I am estimated to be about 4 weeks 5 days
They have more than doubled so I am not sure why she would say that but I pray everything goes well for you 🙏🏾
This sounds like a perfect HCG rise so I’m not too sure why she’s concerned. Usually it’s expected to double in 48-72 hours. Hope your scan on Thursday goes well.
Sorry my phone deleted a paragraph because of editing! It should have said they couldn’t see anything on the internal scan as well as external. I also had period pains and bleeding. But on my current pregnancy they only saw my little one on the internal scan (tried over the top and couldn’t see anything) up until I was 8 weeks pregnant and I had no bleeding and they were happy with my HcG levels this time. Hopefully you’re just really early and don’t panic if they don’t see anything over the top. The internal can pick it up. Also… you are still super early so if you’ve had no worry symptoms (like bleeding) then I’d try to relax and think positively! ☺️
@Amy thanks! Had no worrying symptoms yet which is good. Just stressing over everything
Yay! That’s really positive. Hang in there and hopefully when you have the scan on Thursday you’ll feel better! ☺️
Was the scan internal or external? With my current pregnancy they didn’t do an external one until I was 8 weeks because if they do it earlier than that there’s a good chance they won’t see anything. Internal is a lot better for when you’re really early. I was always told that hcg numbers should double in 48 hours so to me your numbers look great!
That’s weird because usually they’re usually looking for the number to double and it has over doubled 🤔 I just know when I was going in they always said they’re looking for the number to double, if It was me I’d be happy with that number I think! x Good news is they’ve given you a scan so fingers crossed you should see a lovely baby on Thursday 🤞
