    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

    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

    The ranges around the 5-8 week mark are so huge it is ridiculous!!

    At 5-6 weeks the range is 850-20 800 (depending on your lab)

    6-7w 4000-200,000

    7-12w 11 500-289 000

    Your numbers are perfectly normal

    Hi Smamfa

    Like you I conceived this bub straight after a M/C.
    At 6w1d my HCG levels were 8779.

    Also because i had just had a MC my doctor arranged a dating scan for around the 8 week mark. I had been temping so the dating scan just confirmed the dates i had already worked out from the temping. But it made me feel alot better and much more relaxed to see a heart beat and know all was going well!

    Everything has been fine (and only 1 baby on board).

    All the best!
