hcg levels is this ok

[Nicola22]

Hi everyone,

I have a little question and am finding conflicting info on the web!

I am 6wks 1dy pregnant, Yay! thanks to Clomephene. I am having hcg tests every so many days, due to misscarriages in the past.

I had my first hcg test 14DPO and they were (87), then 17DPO they were (247), then 23DPO they were (1912), which shows they doubling roughly every 48hrs, all good then I had them done yeasterday at 6wks, 28DPO and they were 6246, which shows they are now doubling at 70hours apart, is this normal that they've slowed down, a few people i know say they should be higher and still doubling at a rate of every 24hours, ive found conflciting info on the web saying, 24hrs is the norm in the 1st trimester and then they slow down, but ive also seen that 48hrs-72hrs is ok, im grateful that they are going, up as i didnt get past aa hcg of 2500 previously, i just want it to be ok, and want to feel happy but am just so scared to relax, which i know is what i need to do.

The nurse said I will have a scan at 7 weeks (6days to go) to check for heartbeat! fingers crossed, but 6days seems a million yrs away right now,

Any info would be more than appreciated

Thanks to all Nik x

as long as they are doubling within 72 hours, everything should be just fine hun. mine were doubling every 60-70 hours up til six weeks - after that, they didn't do BT's anymore as the pattern changes and it's better to rely on scans to check on progress

Thank you for your reply, I can breath a little, Thanks

Yeah they said they will stop the BT's now and just do scans from now on, so fingers crossed everything ok on 1st scan,

Wish u all the best x

good luck with your scan. all worked out for us = our little girl arrived 12 days ago so slower rising numbers were no issue for us!

Congrats to you, well done, you must be so proud and happy, really well done.

Thanks for your reassurance, it really helps sometimes you feel so alone and swallowed up in the numbers! but success stories keep me positive, and im gonna be postive as much as I can, so thanks! cheered me up heaps

keep in mind darl, if they are rising then obviously bub is growing in there. Dont worry too much on how much they rise etc, any rise is a great rise!
