Question

My wife is 5 weeks and a few days pregnat we haven't seen the doctor yet but we have had blood test and the doctor is somewhat concerned with the number he numbers were 150 and two days later 196 and then two days after that 223. he hasn't called us yet on the last 223 reading yet. he told us on the phone this could be a tubal are these numbers bad or good. looking for some hope that it is not a tubal. Thanks

The doctor might now know the newest numbers yet. I have a inside source that has told me the numbers already. They will be calling us today to make an appointment. they were just waiting to see if the new numbers were any different.

it is just hard because I first try led to a miscarriage. I know it happens alot though we just have to fight through this is this is what it is going to be and work on the next

on sunday here progesterone level was 10.7 is that low and could this cause the numbers to be lower then normal?

Answer 1

If she is 5 weeks from last menstral period the average hcg level at that stage is about 7,000 so still in the hundreds is very low. Also, the levels should double every 30.9 hours and hers does not seem to be doing that. It is possible to continue and have a healthy pregnancy and baby but the odds are just not in your favor. Try to keep your hopes up but be realistic.

Answer 2

It could be tubal or it could be a blighted ovum which would also have slow rising numbers instead of the typical number doubling. I'm very sorry for your loss having been there before.

"Slow-rising hCG. Unfortunately, even if your levels are rising, the failure to double every few days is not a good sign. This type of pregnancy can go on for several weeks, but will almost always end in miscarriage. A single set of tests that do not show a doubling can still be fine. Usually another set will be ordered if you are low or borderline."

Answer 3

I think that if your doctor had any major concerns....ecspecially if there was a possibilty of it being tubal he would have had your wife in for an ultrasound to check on the location of where the implantation had takien place. There is a chance if.and I have no idea wether or not in the matter, your wife had the possibility of it being tubal your doctor would be serious on the matter, If it were tubal and the fallopian tube ruptured it could make it even harder to conceive due to scarring and the possibility of having to have the tube removed.

Answer 4

Usually the numbers double. So with the 150 it should have been about 300 a couple of days later. Make sense? I hope it isn't. Good luck

Answer 5

Good Luck with the pregnancy, I hope it is not a tubal.

Answer 6

well if the numbers were going up thats a good sign that it's not a tubal

Answer 7

My doc told me they look for at least a sixty percent increase in numbers. Good luck

Answer 8

i would call him back saying "ya know you said you were concerned but we havent heard anything from you, so im checking in and seein whats up!?" he should have called you back or had some contact with you if he is that concerned!!!
maybe get a second opinion!
good luck and congrats i hope all goes well!

Answer 9

i wish you luck. i have had a tubal pregnancy before and there not fun. if this is the case, she will be able to concieve quite quickly again.

Answer 10

At least the numbers are going up. Try not to worry until you know whats going on!
