Hello my first hcg level was taken on 9/14 came back 44..48 hours later it was 218 then 6 days later 783 then 48 hours after that on 9/24 1008. Now on 10/7 it came back 14,293 and we saw a fetal pole with flicker..but measurements were 1 week behind. A small blood clot was noted. Do you think everything seems to be going well?
Hello Dr,
I am 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. I implanted quite early as I got a very dark postive trst at 9DPO after iui. During the 3rd week of pregnancy, I got my hcg levels checked 3 times, 48 hours apart. My understanding is that hcg doubles not just every 48 hours BUT every 48-72 hours. My clinic nurse says everything is on track and I wanted your opinion on them.
12DPO : 114
14DPO: 282
16DPO : 565.5
I was told no further bloodwork is needed and to wait for my first ultrasound at 6 weeks.
Hi Dr. Sher, I’d like to hear your opinion on the rise of my hcg levels. I had a positive early pregnancy test at 3w1d.
4w4d- 1600
5w4d- 6700
6w4d- 14000
I’ve had no cramping or bleeding . Do you think they are rising appropriately or are they too slow? I have a US at 8w1d.
Thank you!
I think it is reasonable. Once levels get into the thousands, they often stop doubling every 2 days. At this level of hCG, an US will be definitive.
Good luck!

Hi Doctor
looking for your insight on low but doubling HCG levels. Any advice would be highly appreciated
Edit: 9dp5dt hcg 20
12dp5dt 68
15dp5dt 128
17dp5dt 282
19dp5dt 470
It could still be OK! Do an US at 6-7 weeks for a more definitive result!
Good luck!
