![]() Lower-than-normal levels may indicate dead fetus, incomplete miscarriage, or threatened spontaneous abortion. Once you have had an ectopic prgnancy, you have an increased risk for another, so your HCG numbers may be monitored more carefully. Greater-than-normal levels may indicate choriocarcinoma of the uterus, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole of the uterus, normal pregnancy, or ovarian cancer. Vanishing twin pregnancies have a wide range of acceptable HCG levels on a given day. Pregnancies that are both low in level and slow to rise are almost certain to fail. ![]() There is a website I found which says this -Īn HCG level that increases but is less than double the previous one is considered abnormal and suspicious of an ectopic pregnancy. I had my bloods taken for this pregnancy, and for there to be a positive pregnancy the hcg levels have to double every 48 - 72 hours.Īll women are different but it does sound as though your levels haven't increased enough to have a pregnancy that is progressing normally. Hi Cobweb - how utterly horrible for you. I will be thinking of you and I hope the best for you. I hope this is of some help to you - I know what its like to just want to know that it will be ok. The other thing (not wanting to scare you) it might be is an ectopic pregnancy which was a concern for my doctor but they can usually rule that out with an in depth scan. However the hcg levels are important and they need to be doubling every 2 days. I have heard of women in similar situations to you who have gone on to have a healthy pregnancy so I think the fact there is something visible on the scan is good. It was hard as I was told basically I didn't have to come up for blood tests anymore but to come and have another preg test which I was then told was negative so a bleed was imminent. Finally the levels started to fall slowly and although I knew it was going to happen I still held out for a miracle. I had to go to hospital for blood test every 2 days for 2 weeks which was hell - you do keep hoping. My hcg levels rose very slowly - not doubling as they are supposed to but the scan revealed nothing - so at least you are seeing a sac and foetal pole. Had a negative period and only found out I was pregnant as I had intermittent bleeding and a doctors preg test showed up positive. ![]() Is there anyone with any information or guidance as I am desperate.Ĭobweb I had a similar situation about a 18 months ago. This is emotionally draining because I had prepared myself for the worst and now don't know what to think. Therefore the registrar was not happy to perform an operation whilst the level is still rising and I am being scanned next Tuesday. I got a phone call that night to be told that my hcg levels had muddled them because it was still rising (18,000) but not at the rate that they would like. I was told that I should have a d&c or wait naturally but that they wanted to do final bloods. My results were 12,197 and then 14,500, so because they hadn't double I had another scan last Tuesday where they said that there was no development in measurements on the scan and no heatbeat (I should have been 7 weeks). The consultant said I was to have bloods taken that day and two days later. I was scanned two weeks later and they could see the yolk sac and foetal pole which she said measured 5mm, but couldn't see a heartbeat. I went to the hospital and was scan only to be told that she could see the sac but nothing in it. I am desperate for any hope anyone can give me.ģ weeks ago I had some spotting at what I thought could be around 6 weeks pregnant. Hi I am new, so firstly I want to say hello.
