Your numbers are looking good. They do double in the early days but then they start to slow down so try not to stress to much.
As far as your dates go, do you chart? Maybe you ovulated later than you think and therefore you wouldn't be as far along as suspected or if you use your LMP date.
My cycles are 48 days and I do not ovulate until about day 28 so my dates would be 2 weeks off if I used my LMP date instead of when I ovulated, do you know what I mean?
How did the ultrasound go, 6 weeks is still early but were they able to see a HB?
I know that it is hard not to stress... but really the HCG looks good and dates can vary slightly.
Hi and welcome!!
When it comes to assessing dates, the earlier the ultrasound the more reliable and accurate it is esp. at 6 weeks. and they do normally take it as it.
in saying that if you say you deff. know when your last known menstral period is then they take your word for it...but remember, the calculation they do based on your LKMP is based on a 28 day cycle, and like DaintreeDream said, not eveeryone has this cycle.
the way the cycle works...is EVERYONE ovulates 2 weeks before their menstral cycle...if you have a longer cycle, its the TWW ('2 week wait') period that is longer, or if you have a shorter cycle this time is shorter.
just means you add extra days or subtract extra days on the little formula. I have the formula and alterations somewhere in my pile of uni mess next to me, if you wanted me to get it out =)
All the best and good luck!!
wishing you a happy and healthy preg!!!!!
