Hi ladies,

I am from nov due date club just wanted to share my query,I hope I get some help here. I would like to know whether you all have gone through any blood tests for the HCG level. Here in the US, I think they are overcautious and if it does not increase in that standard level chart they keep doing blood test one after the other.

The first time I did my HCG test I was in 4th week,had just missed my periods. That time my Hcg level came 60, Then they did after 48 hours it was 100 and now again yestr they did a third test and its gone up to 225. But still the nurse was telling me that it is low. It must be around 500-10,000 in this week,5th week. Has anyone gone through any such exps? My HCG is increasing which is a good sign they said. But, they´ ll keep doing my tests untill it comes in the standard levels.

Can anyone please tell me what were your levels in first few weeks. It seems the HCg sometimes increases slowly in early pregnancy and then shoots up afterwards. Iam worried, please share some exps. I have no cramps or any bleeding. As far as symptoms are concerned I just have gases and sore breasts. I am in my 6th week now. Tomm have my fourth hcg test and also a U/S.

Thanks

As far as i understand.. if HCG level is low.. doctor used to give some injections to increase the HCG level.. why dont u ask for it?
I am in my 16th week now and my doctor gave me HUCOG 5000mg injections from 5th week to 14th week.
but dont worry.. your doctor might be waiting for sometime and then she will do the same to increase your HCG level.

take care.. and be happy
