Hcg levels went from 7 weeks 4 days at 34300 to 8 weeks 4 days to 66700 is this ok?

Hi ladies, I know it's rising and that's good but just so nervous....thanks for looking.

[Mackenzie]

It's actually 8 weeks 5 days I did the second test!

It stops doubling WAY before this. I think you are totally fine!! Why would you even get betas now??

[Mackenzie]

I just had the requisition and was so busy I did it later.

Hcg testing is typically done in the first couple of weeks to ensure that the PG is developing normally. Typically blood is drawn 2-3 days apart and it should double in that time. If it doesn't double then it can be a sign of early MC or other problems but it can also be normal. Hcg stops doubling every 48-72 hours around 6 weeks so after that you should get an ultrasound to know if baby is healthy and on track.

So I had an ultrasound today 9 weeks exactly today and baby measured 8 weeks 5 days with a good heartbeat :)
