Why does it take longer for HCG levels to show up in some women?

Question

If it takes longer for the levels to show up sometimes, does that mean the pregnancy isn't moving along as it should, or is it just something that happens with no significant bearing on the pregnancy?

Answer 1

during this time of not knowing, a little information can be scary. my wife and i have been learning on the fly about our soon-to-be son, and we've found a lot of information available on the net. the best advice is to see your OB/GYN, but until you can, here's one link... of many.

Answer 2

No, it simply means that all women are NOT alike.
