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
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!

Ban google. They are doubling nicely - that's a great sign.
As Michelle said the range of "normal" is just absurd... Although it just shows how we are all normal - as there are very wide parameters!
Ban yourself from looking at your BT levels too if you can!
This is my second pregnancy and I have not had a single blood test with either, and therefore I have had no reason to worry about levels and are they too high, low, doubling quite right etc. For some these tests are reassuring and necessary and I understand that, but in all honesty if it isn't medically necessary to have them, then don't have them. And if they are medically necessary then let the doc just tell you if things are looking good. If they are bad then go down that path only if you need to. It can just lead to further anxiousness and stress which is the last thing a new pregnancy needs.
Just know that you are pregnant, trust in your body and enjoy the journey!
I know it is hard, but relax and enjoy the journey. You seem to have a very sticky little one there.
