What should by hcg level be at?

Question

I am 5 weeks and one day pregnant. At 4 weeks and one day my hcg was at 91 then at 4 weeks and 3 days it had increased to 215. I am now 5 weeks and one day along and I just got my hcg tested again and i am waiting for the results to come back but i was just wondering what it should be at now?

Answer 1

Actual levels are unimportant as long as they are increasing properly.  At this point it should about double every 72 hours.  So around 500 give or take a few would be a good number if it was 215 4 days ago.

Answer 2

Please go to:

www.americanpregancy.org

There is a really informative article about hcg levels.  I could go into it, but it's better if you get it straight from the article!  It does say that we shouldn't make a big deal out of hcg levels.

Answer 3

Dont be so concerned with the number because the number varies greatly with everyone. One thing you can be sure of is if you have a normal healthy pregnancy your HCG numbers MUST be increasing. So once its going up no need to worry.

Answer 4

I see questions like this a lot. My doctors (who wouldn't even see me until 8 weeks) never mentioned HCG levels at all!
