Did anyone else have a number similar to this at this stage and go onto have a healthy pregnancy? I’ve only received the result and don’t see my Dr until tomorrow. Feeling nervous.

anything over 5 is fine I think especially because you aren’t even 4 weeks yet… you should get another one when you’re around 5-6 weeks. that’s when it’s easier to tell in my opinion

thank you for replying! Feeling very anxious over here!

yeah i completely understand!! my HCG wasn’t doubling like it was supposed to and im now almost 21 weeks pregnant 😳 so I say don’t stress until you’re further along and get a better HCG result. everyone is different when it comes to this, some will have higher HCG and some will have lower, but it isn’t always a bad thing:) try to push those bad thoughts out🩷

That’s true. Everyone’s body is different. Thank you for reassuring me. I feel much better after talking to you. Don’t you wish you could just see into your uterus 😂😂 congratulations on your pregnancy 🤰

i honestly wish this is something we don’t have to worry about at all🙄I hate that we have to worry about things like this it’s definitely so stressful 😭. and thank you so much 🥰 congrats on yours as well, feel free to message me and give me updates

my mum is a nurse in the UK. They don’t even test your HCG. As long as you’ve got a positive home test they book you in for a scan at 8 weeks! That would be lovely, I’ll do that ☺️

I’ve heard some girlys in the UK tell me about that. I couldn’t even IMAGINE not knowing. im such an over thinker, I couldn’t do it😭

I'm from the UK, we don't get a scan at 8 weeks unless we pay for one privately / at a non-medical scan shop. We get one at 12 weeks. It's really weird how it's different in different countries isn't it. I got jealous of people in America early on because you seem to get scans earlier on and can get reassurance on HCG tests too, but it seems like that's not always reassuring either!
Best of luck to you, I hope everything goes well xx

thanks for clarifying that. 12 weeks is a long time to wait! Did you have any tests done before that?
Same to you 😀

That's OK, it does get booked at 8 weeks it's then just a long 4 week wait!
No we don't typically have any tests before then. Xx

My first Hcg was 20 and now i am 21 weeks today 😊

how is your pregnancy going? I found out I was pregnant about 2 weeks after conception. I’m worried that my HCG levels aren’t doubling as they say they should every 48 hours. Roughly, I’m not even a month yet
