hcg levels too high?

[smamfa]

Well, I've found something else to be worried over!

As I got preg 6 weeks after my miscarriage I was anxious to monitor the hcg and see what the levels were doing this time. I was stoked that the levels were high and were rising rapidly. Of course, now I've done a bit more research and am worried that the levels are TOO high

My levels were:

14dpo - 185 (had bleeding)
4w2d - 560
5w1d - 8344 (median for 5w is around 1400)

I know high hcg can be associated with twins, or molar preg, or downs etc, or of course can be normal preg as well.

Maybe I should just ban myself from the internet?

Has anyone else had above-average hcg levels, and what did it end up meaning for you?

Thanks xx

My HCG this pregnancy was 8900+ at 4 weeks 5 days - See ticker below to find out what that meant hehe - I'm sure all is well, high HCG is a much better sign than low! Usually indicates a healthy, strong pregnancy, stop stressing - Easier said than done I know, but you're not doing yourself or bub any favours... Good luck!! xox

Yeah, what Alicia said!

I would definately ban yourself from google - not from BB though

TRY and enjoy your pregnancy, stressing was never good for anyone. xxx

Mine were very high, 195 000 at 8 weeks. Now I have a healthy baby girl
I was worried too, here's my thread.

Hi smamfa,
Sorry to hear you are worried. Can you request an early scan?

Just fyi my hcg levels were:

HCG at 15dpo 203 (4w1d)
HCG at 19dpo 1526 (4w5d)
5 week scan: showing two sacs, and all going well so far.

Sending you lots of sticky vibes and best wishes.

Yep, I'd ban yourself from Google too. It doesn't have a degree in medicine

It all sounds very healthy Smamfa I know it is hard, but relax and enjoy the journey. You seem to have a very sticky little one there.
Take care

Alicia - oh thanks your post made me feel a lot better! I know some people just have higher hcg and I am hoping that is me too. Best of luck with the rest of your pregancy!

Heaven - thanks I read your thread, you sounded so much like me in the beginning! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.

Baby Dreamtime - Yeah, I am thinking about requesting a scan, I was going to leave it until just before 9w when i see my Ob for the first time, but I don't know that I can wait afterall. Wow - twins! Congratulations!!

Hehe, thanks ubba, teagz & pish, I might need a good :slaparoundwithfish: to settle me down
