My third blood draw was 116, which I had taken about 2 hours earlier then the other 2 draws. It was slightly more than double in the 48 hours. Dr Smith reacted like the numbers were too low, but when I look on line every hCG site says the same thing and that as long as the numbers double in 48-72 hours all is well! As well the levels for the week I was in were in the normal range. This is the chart that most sites show about hCG level.
Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :
3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 color="#3333ff">ETA: Gut feelings-seem to be correct for me each time. It is good when you know your body well. It is good to keep on top of your feelings and get checked as necessary to ease your mind or prove you are right (even when it is a poor outcome!)
