    I'm sorry if I upset you, I was only telling you what I've experienced, I'm not an expert, just a mom and a woman who has experienced a very horrific miscarriage. I have heard about people who spot throughout their entire pregnancy and have absolutely no problems. Some women even continue to get their periods regularly while pregnant. I certainly hope that everything goes well with your pregnancy, you obviously want this baby very much, I wish you the best of luck.

    I am pregnant right now.. I also don't want to scare you but I don't know who told you some people have light bleeding.. you shouldn't.. I would go to the doctors as soon as you can pick the phone up and make an Apt.

    I would get to the doctors as soon as you can, today would be best... even if some people do spot.. if you are cramping as well I wouldn't wait till Thursday! I am 16wks right now and I would be at the hospital ASAP. Not trying to scare you but to keep your mind at ease... see the doc.

    Some spotting and cramping is normal as early as you are in pregnancy. The cramping is usually caused by your uterus stretching. If the cramping is coupled with bright red blood, this is a sign of a potential problem.

    Either way, if you are concerned, only a doctor's visit is going to be able to give you an accurate diagnosis.

    I need some help.. my doctor told me that my hcg levels were 32000 and something so how far along would that put me at does anyone no?? If u do please help!!
  • Dec 10, 2007, 06:07 PM
    NowWhat
    Okay, I had to look this up. And from what I found you could be anywhere from 5 weeks to 12 weeks with a level of 32,000. I don't know if this helps at all. :)

    Is there a good site that I can look at that u no of??

    NowWhat
    I am not sure, to be honest. I googled HCG levels and a bunch of stuff poped up.

    Are you sure it was 32,000? Or could it have been 3,200?

    The normal hCG level for non-pregnant women is less than 5mlU/ml.

    Here is the scale

    Less than 1 week pregnant = 5-50
    2 weeks = 50 - 500
    3 weeks 100 - 10,000
    4 weeks 1,000 - 30,000
    5 weeks 3,500 - 115,000
    6 - 8 weeks 12,000 - 270,000
    12 weeks 15,000 - 220,000

    Okay then, it really could be a few things when your hCG level is that high at this point in your pregnancy.

    You could be further along than previously thought, between 6 - 8 weeks

    You could be carrying twins

    Or, something very rare, called a Molar Pregnancy or Hyaditaform mole. This is so very rare, that I don't really want to consider it a possibility.

    You should phone your doctor in the morning for an explanation of his/her findings.

    I no there's nothing wrong with the baby all I was asking was how far along would I be if the levels were 32 000!!

    Then, most likely you may be further along than previously thought.

    Yah I guess that's what it might be!!

    I was just a little concerned because you mentioned in another post (please forgive me if I am wrong, it's finals time at school) that the doctor did not see the fetal pole at your last ultrasound.
  • Dec 10, 2007, 09:13 PM
    mustang0529
    Yah he did!! But I went for the blood work and the baby seems to be fine!! So I go on Thursday for another u/s to c if there is a fetal pole!! I would just say that I was realli early when I went for my 1st u/s so that's the reason why I wasn't able to c the fetal pole so I'm not worring too much!!

    mustang0529
    I really don't want to put stress on the baby so I try not to worry about it!!
  • Dec 10, 2007, 09:17 PM

    I'm just sort of confused with the dates and how far along I am I hured that sometimes the u/s can be of like a week or a couple of days!! But they said I was 4 to 5 weeks at the u/s which was on the 29th of November!! and now that I look at my levels it tells me I should be around 6-8 weeks!! I just wish I was so confused!! I guess a lot of people get confused about there dates I guess its to early to really find out how far along so I shouldn't worri so much as long as the baby is growing and its healthy then I should be fine and same with the baby!!
