Anyone had higher than normal HCG levels at 4 weeks?

Having read another post I’m worried now that there may be something wrong with this pregnancy because my test showed 3+ weeks when I could have only been 2 weeks as I took an ovulation test and only had sex when I ovulated which was 2 weeks before I took this test 😬

I’ve been Googling and the only reasons I can find for higher than normal HCG so early on are multiples (twins etc), gestational trophoblastic disease or a molar pregnancy 😞

I have an early scan booked for Friday when I should be 7 weeks but now going to see if I can bring that forward. But while I wait it would be good to know if any one else has experienced a clear blue test dating them further along that they are?

I had higher hcg levels with my second baby, I also took these tests. I was convinced I was further along haha but nope I was the right date 😊 second baby isn’t a twin either!

I had a VERY strong test at 14 DPO and got 2-3 weeks at 15 DPO which also made me 4 weeks. I didnt do another digital though so not sure when I would have got my 3+. I worried it was twins getting such a strong positive at 14 DPO but just one baby!x

I think your a anxiety is a little high and you shouldn’t look too deep into what this test says

I had very high hgc level and I have a girl. Just one :) except if I lost one embryo silently I had only one baby. BUT I have been very sick and for all the pregnancy. I really hope for you it won't be the case. :)

I'm pretty sure they are more concerned about low levels rather than high levels. Also I wouldn't worry unless something gets flagged on your blood work

Thanks everyone, all your comments have been so reassuring, I feel a lot less anxious about it now and have decided to not bring the scan forward. I can wait until Friday and there will be more chance of seeing a heart beat if we wait longer 😊🤞🏼

So just as an update…I had my early scan today and it actually turns out I’m 9w5 not 7w like I thought! 😳 Which would be why the stick said 3+ weeks 😅 was quite a shock to see a whole baby with arms and legs when we were just expecting to see a blob with a yolk sack!

Can anyone see a v v faint line?

Am I seeing things? In some light I was adamant it was negative but then I feel I can also see a v faint line. I’ll try post other photo in comments

This will be 11DPO and I had a very clear positive with July 2025 baby at just 8DPO 🤔

2 positive pregnancy test but blood work normal

Hi so I last had unprotected sex on the 31st August, I’m now on my 5th day of no period, I’m feeling sick and cramping, took an early detection pregnancy test yesterday and today and they were both positive. Went to the doctors yesterday and they done one on theirs and it was negative. Sent me for bloods and they’ve come back today and my hcg is 4.9 so just under what would be classed as a positive. Surely the blood test would’ve picked up a positive if the pregnancy test has right? Or have I just had 2 faulty tests?

IVF prep

Hello. Looking for any advice on what people have found works, to prep for collection and transfer? Whilst trying naturally I’ve been taking supplements and trying to prioritise fertility foods, I’ve been off caffeine and alcohol for over 6 months.. but nothing seemed to help. Wasn’t sure if there was ivf specific prep people swear by! Thanks

Positive?

Would you say this is positive? ChatGPT seems to think it is but I can’t tell
