Question 1

i miscarried a month ago i have been in to see my doctor for blood work hcg levels were to a 22 and that was 10 day ago but i still get positive test?

Accepted Answer

Repeat blood test: We like to see the HCG level drop to zero prior to trying to conceive again. If the level doesn't drop, it could be 1) a new pregnancy, 2) an unresolved ectopic pregnancy, 3) an incomplete miscarriage (with retained bits of placenta), or 4) a molar pregnancy (so unlikely).  If the blood test doesn't resolve, then you will likely need further treatment. Call your gyn doc for follow up!

Question 2

i had a prolonged cycle in may i went to see my doctor he sent me for blood work my hcg level is 50 but home test today is negative what is going on?

Accepted Answer

You: might have had a very short term pregnancy  thats why HCG was up but you spontaneously aborted

Question 3

7 weeks 3 days doc said hcg levels going up very good nd saw heart beat but why when i wipe i see brown blood veey brown blood like old blood?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding/pregnancy: Bleeding in early pregnancy can be the first sign of a miscarriage although many pregnant women will experience bleeding and go on to have a normal baby.  Often as the placenta is forming there is some bleeding that occurs that rarely threatens the life of the baby.  Sometimes you can see this on ultrasound.  Hormones rising and seeing the heartbeat are very good signs that thing will turn out ok!

Question 4

ultrasound said i was 6 weeks with a yolk sac however my blood work showed hcg levels at only 894 and that put me at 5 weeks difference why is that?

Accepted Answer

Too early to tell: Additional information on the accurate measurements of your mean gestational sac diameter and the size of your yolk sac performed by a skilled certified sonographer and the dates is needed. HCG levels reflect trophoblastic growth; they can vary greatly and may unfortunately be inaccurate /unreliable.A repeat repeat blood betaHCG test and a repeat sonogram may offer you an answer to your question.

Question 5

unprotected sex with a girl on may 9th. got blood work done. her hcg levels came out at 33578 miu/ml. anything strange with how high with dats given?

Accepted Answer

Consistent with 6 wk: Levels above 25 MIU/ml are consistent with early pregnancy, and levels of HCG generally rise every few days, but one would not expect levels over 30,000 until about 6 weeks from last menstrual period.

Question 6

unprotected sex with girl on may 9th. got blood work done on 21. hcg levels came out at 33578 miu/ml. anything strange with how high with dates given?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Could she have already been pregnant when you had sex? See this site for information on HCG.

Question 7

had hcg level of 73. blood work 48 hours later and it did not double but it went up to 111. 48 hours later level was 164. its not doubling... problem?

Accepted Answer

See your provider: There could be issues but I recommend you see and talk to your OB as soon as you can about your concern.

Question 8

i had sex 3 till four days ago i had blood work done for chest pain and it shows my hcg level at 1.2 is this negative?

Accepted Answer

Not pregnant: Yes, less than 5 is considered negative.  Also, if the only time in your cycle that you had sex was 3-4 days ago then it would be too early for you to be pregnant.  On a regular 28 day menstrual cycle, you ovulate on cycle day 13-14 but the earliest you would find a positive pregnancy test is on cycle day 26-27.

Question 9

missed my period for 2 months. possibly never got it. i had a blood clot on my tampon with white and black spots. i did take hcg shots and blood work hcg levels was 28 and 5 days later it was 35. took 25units of hcg p/day for about 20 days.

Accepted Answer

Hcg diet can change : Hcg shots can certainly cause you to miss your period. If you have stopped them I would repeat the hcg level in a few days to ensure it is trending down to zero. If you have any significant pain you should go to ER.

Question 10

i am 26 days late. my doctor has tried hcg level blood work and a quantitive blood work& home pregnancy tests have been negative. idk what to do.

Accepted Answer

"Jumper cables": Ask your MD about medication such as Progesterone (hormone) Rx that can serve to "jump start" your period.
