Can anyone help me with my hcg numbers? I was almost 16 weeks when the blood was taken and they came back as MoM .11 and hgc 4514. I know this thread is about gender but I was wondering if anyone can give me insight from it being that low. I know hcg goes down alot ater 14 wks but this is like a 6 wk pregnancy rate and from what I can tell the lowest normal MoM hcg is .4
They did uE3 and AFP too ( i have those numbers if needed too) but no PAPP-A.
If your doctor said it's normal, please just accept that. They look at other markers and not just one thing in isolation. I know it's scary when something doesn't seem to be quite right but these tests are really newish and they really simply don't know what any of it means and there's nothing they can do about it anyway, 99 times out of 100
Thanks!! I did talk with my clinic and they said that everything was fine with it. I also found out my son was .52 MoM hcg but don't know other numbers with him. I was just worried cause I have read that very low MoM hcg numbers can indicate placental problems and possible preterm labor and birth due to placenta not being good. The best way to test the placenta is uterine artery Doppler and I am going to push to get that done. I am not so much worried about the down or trisomy any more since everything else was fine. I know that sometimes you have to be your own advocate on issues and push the issue sometimes to get things done if not I would have had 2 or 3 more mc before I got testing done to find out I had a partial septate. Also maybe someone in the future will run across this and it will help them out.
Is this really accurate for gender?
I just look up my dd second trim test her hcg was 0.32 this time for first Tim 0.28 no clue what that means Attachment 31649
I'm honestly no help, is there anyone else out there who can help?
It is not JUST one number in isolation. Like Danny De Vito and Janet Reno there can be short men and tall women but the average is that men are taller than women. But if ALL the numbers are adding up one way, HCG, pappa, and afp it may SOMEWHAT predict a baby's gender.
I was researching last night and just found mixed reviews and I honestly don't understand it. High free hcg and high pappa in first and second trim mean girl. That didn't hold true for me for my dd or my ds.
If it is true that this baby I guess is a boy, since my numbers are low? I think I have no clue. But some women had low numbers and had girls vice versa.
Nurse said my numbers are normal
It is because it's just an average, not a reliable gender prediction. That's all. It is just like height and amount of body hair and weight.
On average men are taller than women, on average they weigh more than women, on average they have more body hair. This does not mean that they are all true in every case (like Janet Reno and Danny Devito). But if you have a person who is taller, heavier, and more body hair than another, it is probable, not a guarantee, but probable that it's a man instead of a woman. That's all.
I see, I then got worried since mine numbers were low if something was wrong, but nurse said it seemed fine. And my dd numbers were also low and my sons. My daughter is pretty tall for her age, and my son is pretty short for 2 lol my older son is super tall.
My husband like stop obsessing lol
Yes exactly. My daughter was my second biggest baby. Height is just what it is. A number.
Just want to clarify that it doesn't have anything to do with height per se, it's just an example of how these hormone levels work. They're like height, it's the average but just knowing that doesn't tell you anything necessarily. Even if the average HCG level in female pregnancies is higher, it's like height - knowing someone is 5 ft. 6 does not tell you their gender!!!
I know this thread is probably closed but I was wondering if anyone could predict my beta results!
Papp-a MoM - 0.74
Hcg1 MoM -1.31
NT MoM - 0.93
Thanks in advance!!
I don't think anyone on here is in the guessing business any more, but I think there's info on how to do it in the thread. :)
NT(mm) 1.7
f-B-HCG 1.39 MoM
PAPPA 0.17 MoM
Gestational Week : 13 weeks and 3 days
Please let me know the gender.
I don't think anyone is doing the guessing FOR people any more but all the info you need to do your own guessing is in the thread!
I have gone thru many posts in this thread. Very interesting. What I learnt is HCG and PAPP-A both has benchmark of 1MOM anything above is girl and below is a boy. In your case, it can be 50-50.
What is your fetus' CRL? Corelation of NT with CRL is also very important.

Hi SSK,
I just saw that you have posted in May 2017. Can you please update your result if you have received any? It will be a good reference for others like me.
Thanks

The thread is active for anyone who would like to make guesses using this technique. I will not.
Oh.. is this the case then I agree with you ...better to leave it..BTW Thanks for your comment and letting people know the reason..

I don't think anyone here is guessing any more, does anyone want to have a try??
It wasn’t true for me, I literally was obsessing over this and my daughter was a girl after all!
I have First Trisem results with me
Free HCG- 0.58 MoM
PAPP-A- 1.97 MoM
NT-0.5 mm ,0.38MoM
CRL-48 mm
What do you guess?
I don't think anyone is guessing any more but on the first page is links to the study so you can guess yourself. :)
Sorry I just don't believe it's reliable, so I choose not to guess.
