I am 12 dpo today and went and had some blood tests to check for HCG levels as I felt all the pg symptoms. I just rang my FS who’s confirmed there is a low level of HCG at 77 but a high progesterone level of 254…
I have to go back on Monday to confirm doubling.
I am worried as I have already had 2 miscarriages a year ago. Has anyone had similar levels and do they seem ok? I checked a couple of sites and the hcg level seems ok but seeing as he said ‘low’ it has me worried.:confused:
Any help would be appreciated.

I had a level of 130 hcg odd at 14 DPO and I think 280-290 progesterone and they were worried I was low but I am now 17 weeks so don't worry too much though I know its hard, really there is nothing they can do or say till they take a look at your next round of bloods, mine doubled and they said there was no reason to worry, I hope you get told the same thing and go on to have a happy and healthy pregnancy
congratulations on your pregnancy :yelclap:
from what i've read, your HCG amount seams to be fine for only being 12dpo :yes: from memory the average for 10dpo is about 50,
my hcg levels with my last pregnancy were always on the low side of average and they didn't really rise the way they should either, I remember one of my blood tests at around 8wks hadn't even doubled, and she's a healthy 16mth old now
:fingerscrossed: that on monday you're bloods have doubled
Are you on any meds? That would be the only reason for the FS to say those levels are low. I understand that any level over 25 is positive (although some clinics vary) and what matters is how they rise and if your progesterone is ok then that's fine. I am pretty sure that my level at DPO 13 was only about 40

my clinic likes hcg to be over 50 and progesterone over 30 i would be happy if i got 77 on my bt.
good luck, hope your levels raise as they should.
