Are these levels low?

Hi, yes its me again, the worry-wort.

Got my blood test results back today and my HCG was 656. This was taken at exactly 5 wks as per my dates...

The one previous was 106 at 4 wks 1 day.

From reading other peoples posts these seem very low...?? I know they are "in range" but most peoples are in the 1000's aren't they..?

My GP seemed happy with it... She also told me to cancel an early scan she had booked for me tomorrow to check on things (I'd had some cramping) and said to just get it in a week or two as we first planned. She said I didn't need an early scan as my levels were rising.

Any thoughts?

A good reference was this website where it compares a whole bunch of women at certain dpo with single, twin, etc pregnancies.

Your levels seem to be dubling every 36-72 hours ok and that's the main indicator of a viable pregnancy.

I forgot to say thanks for this link, very interesting. 54 hours doubling time... hmmm :confused:

Thanks again!
