HCG Levels low

[My Angels]

Hi everyone im am around 5 weeks pregnant and had my hcg levels tested and they are only 74 i am going in for another blood test in days. The drs are saying that it is very low so i shouldnt get too excited at the moment. Has ayone had the same thing happen and was everything okay?
Thanks.

I have no advice other than to continue nurturing this little bubba until you know otherwise.

I wish you all the best....

Could you have your ovulation date wrong maybe? Everyone is different so I hope your bubba is ok and your numbers are doubling.

[Loula]

Mine was a lot lower than when I got a bt. Maybe you are later than you thought? Good luck

[Maruschke]

Are you sure of your dates? If you are sure, then that is quite low and your Dr is right to say not to get excited. But if there is a chance that your dates were wrong, then that's a valid early pg hcg. FX for you.

I'm with the others hon, it depends if you are sure of ovulation date. If you ovulated late (say day 20) then that might be OK. My first bt with this pregnancy was 44 but that would have been about 4 weeks 2 days pregnant. It had more than doubled two days later. If you are sure of dates though then that is quite low for 5 weeks. Good luck. I will keep everything crossed that you get good doubling!!!

Thanks everyone for your kind words, not sure about my dates i guess i could of ovulated later then what i thought. Well i hope so. I did another preg test this morning and the red line was alot darker than all the other times i have done the test, so fingers crossed i am earlier and bubs is going to be ok! it is so hard waiting around wondering whats going to happen if bubs is ok and what should i be doing to help makes things better. I hate this waiting game.
Talk soon xxoo

That's a good sign. My tests were super faint until the one I took on the day I did my repeat bt. It was a lot darker and then we found that my HCG had almost tripled! I'll be waiting for the results tomorrow. Good luck honey

[Maruschke]

That is a great sign. Increasing HCG is usually good . Best of luck with it.

[Mrs O'M]

All the best with waiting for your results! Fingers crossed everything is ok for you

Ok so i had my bt this morning they tested for HCG and Progesterone. My results for HCG are 244 but i am still waiting for the Progestorone. I guess at least the HCG levels are going up not doubling though. Is this okay or could this mean this is not a viable pregnancy i have read where levels should be alot higher and should of gone up alot more? I get the results 2mrw morning so i guess we will go from there.
thanks guys xxoo

[glenny_c]

The numbers look good to me hon!! They are supposed to double every 24-48 hours and yours have tripled in 48 hours!! Mine went from 44 to 124 in 48 hours and I'm now 30 weeks!!

[Mrs O'M]

Just checking in to see how your test results went?? Crossing fingers for some good news for you

[My Angels]

Ok so the Dr called this morning and told me my Progesterone levels where a little low 81.3 and they were hoping for it to be around 100. So i am now taking progesterone pessaries every night for 14 days. has anyone had this happen to them and if so what happened. Im not to be excited we are pregnant or to not try and get our hopes up!
Talk soon

I have been on pessaries for last one and this one.. i started on a 200mg, then doubled, and doubled again as my levels were not coming up enough. i stayed on them till over 12w.. The results of my first pessary pregnancy is currently smearing dessert over the table :-) this one is doing well too.

[glenny_c]

Me too! Pessaries for number one, didn't need them this time. Number one is the reason I was up at 5.30 this morning! Also- I only had my progesterone tested once this pregnancy at 4w 4 d and it was only 64. Try and relax. YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!! Remember the motto PUPO- Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise!!!! Congratulations!!

[My Angels]

Thanks Yeah i know i need to relax just wish it would run along smoothly. With my daughter we had such a hard time pretty much until she was born with complications and i guess having 2 previous miscarriages i never seem to be able to enjoy and relaxing during our pregnancies!
Thanks for your help and advise it has helped me alot.

Recently knew a girl who went through HCG levels not doubling as they should. Her P4 was never tested, she is however half way to meeting her bub didnt know it was possible but apparenlty it is!

HTH.
