quant HCG levels

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Anybody have them drawn? I went in on Friday, out of curiousity, because my first OB visit isn't until the end of this month, and due to having taken Plan B, I have no idea when I actually ovulated.

My level was 19,344 and that is all they could tell me because the full panel won't be back until Monday. Is that normal for (at that point) 5 weeks 2 days? I know I should know this, but I don't off the top of my head, nor do I feel like digging out my textbooks just now.

I just really wish I knew when I ovulated. ::sighs::

I think those numbers are fine. I was 772 at 3 weeks 6 days and then 1841 about 60 hours later. By that I'd imagine I'm about 14,000 now, 5w3days. From everything I've been told it's more about the number getting bigger than the actual number itself.

Hopefully this will help you:

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


Some people's levels go up faster than others. With my DD I know my levels were on the low side.

So perhaps I'm closer to six weeks, or just have high levels. Thanks for responding you guys! =)

Oh, and MamaZoZo I had low levels with my now-four-year-old, too. I had low progesterone with him, bleeding, and they thought he was a blighted ovum for awhile. He was my rainbow baby after my Liam Thomas was stillborn and I was crazed with anxiety. This time I'm trying to relax and let go of a lot, but the numbers game still gets me, lol.

I never knew my numbers with Ds and when I went to the OB last week they never told me :
