Firstly I want to congratulate you on your pregnancy. I'm very sorry to hear about your losses and hope that this pregnancy progesses nice and smoothly for both you and your bubs.
As you probably already know, hcg levels can vary greatly from one person to the next, and even from one pregnancy to the next in the same person. For that reason I wouldn't get too stressed about the actual numbers.
I've just found my pathology report from the last blood test I had with my angel and it has the "expected normal values for pregnancy" that Melbourne Pathology use:
Based on those values I would say things are going quite well for you.
I'm not so sure about prog though as I never had my prog tested. If you have bloods done tomorrow and they are worried about your prog level they might be able to give you a prog shot or pessaries...
Anyway, good luck with your ultrasound. I hope bubs gives you a nice wave
Thanks guys for your reassurance. I'm dreading the u/s as I haven't had good experiences with them. I'm trying not to worry but the nurse has got me concerned. Oh well, I'll know more tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a healthy heartbeat
Snickers,
How did your scan go???
Your HCG levels look good to me.
I had to have a couple of scans to find heartbeat, so I have an idea how you are feeling.
Take care
Chris
I thought I posted a reply yesterday, but then the site crashed on me and I forgot to check.
We saw a heartbeat, 128bpm. They put me back 9 days which is ok as I have no idea when I ovulated as I had just finished another mc - so we suspect I ovulated later. The technician was fantastic, I was beside with worry but she was very calm and understanding.
HCG came back at 27,600 so I'm happy with that. Prog is still dropping, so I have to go back saturday for more blood. Hopefully it's my body adjusting to the hormones, but if it falls to low they'll give me the prog support. Just taking one step at a time.
