Questions on hcg levels....

[hoping4baby79]

Well I recently found out that I am preg. I am very happy but am also worried So on thursday when I got the blood test to tell me if I was or not my levels were at 68 then of Friday the doctor had me go for more levels and all that good stuff my levels were at 121 also I have a little bit of a cramp in my right side it is a dull cramp and goes away but does always come back and I was just wanting to know if it is normal for the hcg levels to jump that much and if the cramping is normal if anyone knows anything please let me know!!!

Hello,

On average, in very early pregnancy, prior to the establishment of a visible intrauterine pregnancy with a fetal heart in the normal range, the hCG should ~ double in 48 hrs.  You are still quite early and will need further assessments.

Stay encouraged and congratulations.

Dr. Downing

As long as your hcg levels are doubling every two days but not incresing too much you will be fine. I just went through this drama lol and at 3 weeks my levels are 4500,and my doctor said that was good so good luck and try not to worry

I'm sorry I really can't tell you if its normal or not just wanted to say i am in the same boat as you my levels on Tuesday were 84 and am waiting for my next results to come back Tuesday I only hope mine have risen. Yours have rised so that is always a good sign, fingers are crossed for you
