I just got the call from my midwife’s office. I am not sure how I feel about the number.
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
My blood was drawn at what I estimate to be 5 weeks 4 days and the number was 964. My midwife didn’t order a repeat beta so I guess I just wait till Nov 1st and see what happens from there. It could just be that my dates are off. The number is definitely high enough for me to be pregnant! So that is good news, but it still doesn’t ease my fears much.
That number sure looks pregnant to me. Yippee Skippeee
Congratulations!! Regardless of the odds, a BFP is always a miracle in my book
Happy ICLW!
Congratulations! I hope your numbers keep getting higher!
Happy weekend!
Holding on to hope for you! Thanks for stopping by for ICLW!
it’s a strong number, but i don’t understand why the midwife didn’t order a repeat beta. she does not think beta doubling time is relevant?
i’m glad you’re pregnant. good luck. and thanks for stopping in at my blog.
Congrats on your pregnancy! The beta stuff is hard — I hope you can hang in there until it’s time for your first scan. Thinking of an hoping for you!
congrats on your pregnancy. hope your beta keeps climbing.
