This is what I've found:

* At 14 DPO, the average HCG level is 48 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-119 mIU/ml.
* At 15 DPO, the average HCG level is 59 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-147 mIU/ml.
* At 16 DPO, the average HCG level is 95 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 33-223 mIU/ml.
* At 17 DPO, the average HCG level is 132 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-429 mIU/ml.
* At 18 DPO, the average HCG level is 292 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 70-758 mIU/ml.
* At 19 DPO, the average HCG level is 303 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 111-514 mIU/ml.
* At 20 DPO, the average HCG level is 522 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 135-1690 mIU/ml.
* At 21 DPO, the average HCG level is 1061 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 324-4130 mIU/ml.
* At 22 DPO, the average HCG level is 1287 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 185-3279 mIU/ml.
* At 23 DPO, the average HCG level is 2034 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 506-4660 mIU/ml.
* At 24 DPO, the average HCG level is 2637 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 540-10,000 mIU/ml.

So it looks like you're pretty average (which, in this case, is a good thing!) with your HCG. I can't speak to your TSH, but I hope someone (your doctor, endo, etc.) can give you some answers.

It's so hard to relax in the early weeks. I remember how "in denial" I was - I mean, I was acting pregnant, but it was so hard to actually believe it.

But you are pregnant!

A TSH of 1.59 is considered good.

It is SO hard to relax after a loss, isn't it? (((HUGS)))

I don't know about thyroid levels at all...but my dr.s have both done the "well, the initial hcg looks good so we dont' need to do anymore". the 1st time they pulled that (preg #3, m/c #2) i demanded to get another draw to make sure they were doubleing. they did...but they never did my progesterone which is frustrating to me now. With this pregnancy they did the quantitive test and found my extremely low progesterone. If it would give you peace of mind ask for another test...hcg levels are supposed to double, i believe, ever 48 hours or so.

(((HUGS))) and many sticky baby vibes!

My first draw as 927, so doctor is still having me come in for another blood draw today.

I have a blood disorder that can cause an higher risk of miscarriage, so my OBGYN is being very protective of me! Even more so becuase I did not have an AF since my miscarriage.

Hi Joy!


Your TSH is fine - the new standard is between 1 and 2 for pregnancy - esp for someone who has had a loss or may have autoimmune issues, so you are right in there.

Joy,

I wouldn't worry about your TSH. A level fo between 1 & 2 is optimal. You should also have your T4 tested though. I have mine tested ever 4 weeks during pregnancy. As for your hcg level, your number looks great, but they should do 2 tests to make sure that your numbers are doubling. I would call & tell them you want to have another test done.

Hugs, Melissa
