Hcg Levels - What Is Normal ? Posted: 03-01-05 03:19am
I have just found out I am pregnant : ), I
had a positive home pregnancy test. And
then booked in to see my doctor, had a
blood test and it came back that I am
pregnant and my hcg is 443. Is this
normal, the nurse at the clinic said oh I
think it might be a bit too low and I will
get the doctor to call you tomorrow, I am
worried .... The doctor said I would
just have turned 5 weeks some time this
week. My last period was 26.1.2005
please help

Im not really sure, I work at a drs
surgery and women come in all the time
with low hcg. Did ur dr tell u anything
about it ? Probably best to wait for a
few of the pregnant ladies on here theyre
alot more experienced than me. Didnt
want to leave u hanging though.

One more thing. My friend's levels were
dropping so she had to get a blood test
every other day I think. Eventually,
they started to rise again and everything
has been fine since then. I was also
thinking the same as jamie. It's close
enough that they could just be off on how
far along you are and everything is
actually right on track. Take care.

Idk why that happened. I never asked, I
was just happy everything was okay and
forgot to ask.
