If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Q: after embryo transfer, i had a hcg level of 5.1, today it was 15.6. is this too low?

Q: my hcg level is 5 blood test did not come back as negative or positive for pregnancy could i still be pregnant?

Depends: An HCG level of 5 is inconsistent with pregnancy, unless it was done too early. Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

Q: is an hcg level of 5 miu/ml considered dangerous after partial molar pregnancy. my d&c was nearly 3 weeks okay, but i'm still not testing negative?

: HCG levels vary widely in normal pregnancies. It is good that you are planning to repeat the test as a rising level is a good sign. For info: https://www.pregnancybirthbaby.org.au/hcg-levels

Q: can you have a molar pregnancy if 7 weeks pregnant, no morning sickness at all and hcg level at 5 weeks was 3400

Blighted ovum: Not a molar pregnancy which typically shows much higher pregnancy hormone concentrations but a "blighted ovum" which produces a gestational sac without an embryo in it.

Q: does a hcg level of 5 miu/ml mean i'm not pregnant? i possibly could have conceived on november 9th and i took the serum test on nov 11. my home pregnancy tests have all been negative with a cutoff of 6.3miu/ml?

Too soon: HCG is produced by the placenta in pregnancy. HCG varies between 25 mIU/mL and 7500 mIU/mL during the first 5 weeks. It differs in each pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests will be positive on the first day of your missed period. If you check again in one week and see the HCG is up past 25, it may indicate an early pregnancy. No change or below 5 means that you are not pregnant.
