    low hcg results help in calculations please!

    I just got my HCG result and am quite scared, they are only 324 from last Saturday when I was just on 5 weeks pregnant. It should be much higher

    maybe someone can help me with calculations?

    My last period was 8 Sept
    We only had sex once that being 29 Sept so must have ovulated late
    Got BFN on 16 Oct on HPT
    Got BFP on 18 Oct HPT
    Had HCG first done 19 Oct which was 64
    Had 2nd HCG done on 23 Oct which was 324

    Do you think these are ok? or not a good sign for the pregnancy. With my last 2 girls, my first reading was around 74 and 2nd was in 3000's so im scared.

    They have more then doubled in 48hours so thats the most important thing not what they are. CONGRATULATIONS going on your first 2 BHCG your pregnancy is progressing as one would expect at this stage.

    It doubles *approximately* every 48 hours, so by working that out, your levels are fine. It's so hard not to worry Will you be having any more tests done?

    Yea they seem fine hun. SO long as they are doubling or more every 48 hrs thats fine, it's not about how high the number is. Mine were always low too.

    google hcg doubling rates calculator, someone has a site that will do it for you.

    But from what I can see, it looks fine! Doubling rate is normal, so that's what's important! For this pg, my doubling rate was a bit over 48 hours. Try not to stress.

    It doubles in 24 hrs so its above 256 (64x2=128, 128 X2= 256) SO seems ok to me.

    thanks so much girls

    I had another BT today result is 645, taken 3 days after the other one of 324 so now it isnt doubling in 2 days but in 3 days and my progesterone is 44, which is borderline for viable pregnancy so my GP says, have left a message for my OB. Im very upset right now I dont want another miscarriage
