    Hi Soulful - from what i've read it seems to be the increase that is important rather than the number - if they keep going up - even if they dont exactly double (every 48 hrs?) - its a good sign!

    Controlfreak - thanks for the message. Very reassuring. My levels are increasing, but not doubling. Starting to worry a little.....

    Hi Ubba, Yours sound fine to me, I found out I was pregnant at 4 wks and my levels were 280, so I would try and relax although believe me I know how hard that is!. Mine didn't double or triple this time as expected but everything is fine and I'm now nearly 18 weeks it's just different for everyone.

    Big hug and much luck!!!
    Cheers Missy

    Well I went and saw my Dr today and we discussed my levels from Friday which were 480. According to her scale, my levels are on the low side for 5 weeks. She thought it would be best to get another test done to make sure they are rising nicely. I'm still stressing despite reading other positive posts.

    ubba82 - all the best with the next test. I'm in the same boat! Levels at 5 weeks were 450, so will be getting another test done.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!

    there is a website... betabase, and you can put your levels and dates in there, and it calculates your doubling rate and gives general statistical averages. I found it good when I was pregnant to check my levels on.
    Good luck girls. xo
