HCG Level a Little High?

Question

My wife went to the dr. she is was right around 7.5 weeks pregnant for the first test. Her HCG level came back a little high around 268,000. I found these ranges pretty much everywhere.

7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml

The dr. said to come back in a few days to see if it was still rising which would be a problem. The level came back right around the same 2 days later so it looks to be leveling off and he said everything is fine. The ultrasound came back perfect (one baby :)) with the dates matching up within a day of what they should have been. We also had a miscarriage a few months ago. This was going to be her second period since the miscarriage (thought maybe the level could have not gone down all the way from last time she was at abotu 7 weeks). Anyway, does this all seem ok with nothing to worry about???

Answer 1

nothing to worry about at all perfect almost

Answer 2

I would say if the Doctor says everything is ok then you should be fine...and you saw the ultrasound and it looks good that is great...I had 3 miscarrriages before I had my 2 daughters and they kept an eye on my HCG levels very closely too. And at one point they do tend to level off that is why most moring sickness seems to decrease..not a doctor just talking from experience good luck and wish you well. I found that they key is to not worry when the doctors say not too...

Answer 3

we are not doctor's in here it sounds like you have seen her Doctor and he is saying there is nothing to worry about. every women's body responds differently to pregnancy there is no set standard just try to relax and listen to the suggestions of your doctor and wait for the arrival of your baby.

Answer 4

Nothing to worry about.
