HCG level at 7 weeks

I had a blood test yesterday at 7wks 2dys and the hcg was measuring 19,000. Is this ok it seems a little low..

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)—The Pregnancy Hormone : American Pregnancy Association

Move the page down on the link and it has levels for different weeks.

Looks normal to me.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHIKKI!!!!!

looks very normal to me!

I don't know much about HCG levels, but the way I understood it, it doesn't matter the number as long as it keeps rising.

Congrats again :D

Once you get to so many weeks the HCG does decrease to a degree. I am not sure what that is though. It sounds good to me.

The number sounds good to me - and I think its after about 7 weeks it can decrease anyway? :think:

As long as it keeps doubling roughly every 48hrs... have you had it tested before now?

Keep in mind too that any sites you check online may be USA & they're numbers are measured in different units to ours... just so you don't freak yourself out & think somethings wrong when its not ;)

I'm sure your number is perfect :)

I am sure it only starts to decrease at 12 weeks.

I went through all of this with my doctor 2 weeks ago. For some reason she was checking my hCG levels every week. At 10 weeks my levels dropped and she called me and said I was having going to have a miscarriage because my levels dropped. She organised an urgent ultrasound for me that day and DP and I went expecting to find 'bubbles' with no heart beat. the ultrasound was fine!!!!!

I got online here and asked the ladies about this hormone and boy do we have some VERY knowledgeable women here! Long story short- hCG drops at 10 weeks- this is when the placenta takes over from the ovary in regulating hormones (simplified explanation) The hCG is pretty much insignificant other than to confirm a pregnancy or to indicate an ectopic pregnancy! Other than that there is no significance in the numbers and no point in testing it!

I took the huge amount of info that I got from these wonderful ladies took my doctor the next day....the doctor had forgotten that this was the case and was embarrassed for causing such a stir over nothing. Since that day she hasn't told me I have to have my hCG tested. Heres a good site
