Blood test in and the results are...
| Thu, 09-04-2003 - 5:17pm |
positive. However, my my HcG levels are low, 37.8 (whatever that means). So, since I have been bleeding, she wants me to go back in on Friday and get my levels checked again. She also wants to test my progestone levels. She said that if they are low, they could be causing me to bleed.
Can anyone help me understand the HcG levels? What are normal? I'm almost 6 weeks along.

I don't know whether to be excited or not. I guess I'll know for sure on Friday when we get our second set of tests back.
Keep sending me positive vibes!

Normally (and by no means is everyone normal) HCG levels are about 25 at 10dpo and double everyday there after. But, that doesn't mean something is wrong with you, because everyone's body is different. It also depends on what units the lab uses to measure your HCG, your 37.8 could be 3780, which would put you right where you are, depending on the scale/units used by the lab. Go back tomorrow (Friday) and have your blood drawn, and take the progestrone if that is what is indicated by your OB. Hope this helps. Try to relax and not stress too much until you find out what is what. Good luck to you.

Here is a link with the average ranges of hCG levels in pregnancy. I hope this works out for you.
