High HCG's but good u/s

Hi, I think I've probably talked to some of you on the TTC after miscarriage board, etc. But I'm finally here...I have a six year old son and have had 4 miscarriage since...I'm about 5 weeks along but my HCG # was in the 13,000's!!! So I went in for a sono and they could see a sac which was measuring at 5 weeks 3 days. Although they couldn't see a fetus or a heartbeat, they said it was too early. My dr. says it's really good news that the sac was measuring on schedule, but there was no reason given for the high HCG's. My progestrone level was a 13, while that's a little low it's still considered normal and I am now taking supplements. I'm just wondering what you guys think about all this?!? I feel awful and it's been a long time since I've had morning sickness so I'm hoping it's actually working this time!!!! I have another sono on Tuesday...I'm just so nervous!!!
Thanks for listening

My last hcg test was 13,000 and I was 23dpo (5weeks 2days).

high is better than low if you ask me, and mine were always high with my daughter and she turned out just perfect!

How high do you have to start worrying about DS? That really scares me! Do ya'll agree that 5 weeks is too early to see anything but a sac?
Thanks for responding!

Hey there!


Congratulations! I completely agree that 5 weeks can be too early to see anything but a sac. My first u/s was at 5w6d and we didn't see anything. We went back a week later and saw the heartbeat. Good luck on Tuesday!

I think 6 weeks is when the heart first starts beating.

I think that your HCG and ultra sound perfect!!! Your doctor is correct that at 5W you would not see anything but a sac!
