Just got my results from my second HCG test at 5 weeks and 1 day and it was 5,208! It is more than doubling! I feel so much more relieved now!

Hi,I am due on 25th april 2011. Had a blood test on 4 weeks 3 days (last friday) and mine was 180. My doctor told it was good. So I think it should be good with you tooo.

I think those numbers are good! Mine was 159 at 4 wks 2 days and they said that was good. Since it had doubled from 60 they said no need to test again but I really wish they would let me test again!

I also found this great site online on how to calculate HCG levels and see if they are really doubling at the right rate (every 48-72 hrs). Cant wait to get my next results to be able to compare. Hope this is helpful!

Got my HCG results for my first test at 4 weeks and 1 day and it was 273 mIU/ml. My next test will be on monday. I saw online that this number is in the normal range for 4 weeks but what do you guys think?

For my first pregnancy I tested at 5 weeks and 4 days and it was 6,027 mIU/ml but 16 days later when I started spotting at 7 weeks and 5 days it was 9,136 mIU/ml which was pretty low for how far along I was. The next day I miscarried.

Hi girls! I am new to this forum... I just recently got my BFP! I am 4 weeks and 3 days and due April 24, 2011. I am also having a lot of cramps. It makes me nervous because I did have a miscarriage for my first pregnancy 4 months ago at 7 weeks and 6 days. I talked to a nurse about it and she said that It might not be normal for me because of my history so they will see me in 2 weeks to check things out since right now its to early too see anything. I went in yesterday to check my HCG levels but wont get my results till tomorrow. I am planning on taking another test in a few days to make sure the numbers are doubleing. I am really hoping things go better this time.
