HCG Levels after miscarriage

[Nikki87]

Hi Ladies,

I appreciate any advice or comparisons you can give me Re: HCG levels in early pregnancy. After my miscarriage I am so worried about EVERYTHING.

I had my Miscarriage 6 weeks ago today. On Monday the 14th of January (18 days ago) I ovulated (I have been tracking with OPKs and got a definate positive 2 days prior with pains and by the Monday afternoon the OPK was negative (still positive on Monday morning - the 14th). So assuming this was correct I am now 17 days Past Ovulation.

So I got a positive pregnancy test at 7DPO - EARLY, I know.

At 11DPO my HCG was 225 and on Tuesday just gone (15DPO) it was 1556.

So my question is - isn't this extremely high?? I know I can't be 100% sure of ovulation date but now I am worried about a Molar Pregnancy

My guess would be that you implanted early. Therefore your body starts producing hcg earlier and is now higher than usual.

The windows of "normal" are huge. It's not so much about the number as the way they are climbing, and that looks fine.

I would think you are further along than you suspect too. Positive hpt at 7dpo is very early. An embryo is unlikely to have implanted before 6dpo (generally between 6 and 12 dpo). It's usually a few days after implantation that you would get a positive on a hpt.

I know only too well how hard it is to not stress after a miscarriage but i have to say it. This is a new pregnancy. Try and look at it as a new experience and not fret on every detail. I know how hard it is but you need to try

Mine were high with DD2. Turns out my dates were exact but I just had high numbers. I'm sure everything is fine.

Hi Nikki

FWIW my HCG with DD at 16DPO was 1880. Like BG said, there is such a HUGE variation on normal This time at 15 DPO my HCG was 167, massive difference. Just rememebr we cant see exactly what's going on in there and you may have been blissfully unaware that a little one had implanted a day earlier.
