    HCG levels
    SO Thursday I found out that I am pregnant (I took a home pregnancy test) so I was wandering I got my blood work back today and my Hcg was only in the high 400 so I was wandering if this is normal. Also, if I got pregnant on Clomid will that increase my risk of a miscarriage

    HCG levels are suppose to double every 48-72 hours so you would need to do another blood test 48 hours after your initial one. A reading of 400 hcg is normal in early pregnancy but you did not state how many weeks pregnant you are, also you need to know that rates vary from woman to woman and also in multiple gestation pregnacies hcg levels tend to be on the high side.

    Getting pregnant on clomid does not increase the risk of miscarriage, it increases the risk of multiple births. If you are concerned about your hcg levels then speak to your doctor there are medications (progesterone) you can take up to week 13 to help the hcg levels rise as needed, its not guaranteed but it may help you.

    Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
    HCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

    3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
    4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
    5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
    6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
    7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
    9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
    13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
    17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
    25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
    Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
    Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

    I was between 3-4 weeks at the time the blood was drawn! And I have been on prometrium the whole time, your table makes me feel a lot better. I just tried for a while to get pregnant and I am so scared of losing the baby. But I am just going to put it in God's hands and let him handle the rest

    Hi Can you please help me out on this?
    10days back I was told that my uterus seems to be enlarge in size and so I took my blood test. After my 1st blood test my Beta HCG count was around 4000 and I was told I'm pregnant, then I took my 2nd blood test after 4 days and my HCG count dropped to 430 and immediately I took vaginal scan and the result was NO EVIDENCE OF ECTOPIC/ INTRAUTERINE PREGNANCY. I was totally upset and I was told the result is negative so don't worry. Am I really not pregnant?
