Question 1

if hcg level reduces slowly than expected will there be a reason other than miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

No: Hcg has a fairly long half life so it may take some time for the levels to fall. Usually HCG levels are followed after medical treatment for ectopic pregnancy or after spontaneous abortion.

Question 2

i did a pregnancy test 7 days ago and the hcg level was 3375, today i repeated the test the result is 4978, the is low what does that mean and what to?

Accepted Answer

Sonogram: At a BHCG level above 2000 a sonogram can be done to confirm the presence of a live intrauterine pregnancy. Serial BHCG levels are less important once a sonogram can be done. In general during early pregnancy a BHCG increases by 66 % every 48 hours. An abnormal rise could indicate a pregnancy failing to develop or a tubal pregnancy

Question 4

i took two pregnancy test they both were faint positives i took another later that night and it was negative. hcg level was 25 at 4 weeks is that bad?

Accepted Answer

Needs tracking: A BHCG is very low. It needs to be repeated to determine if it is trending upward indicating a very early pregnancy or trending downward which would indicate a very early miscarriage sometimes referred to as a chemical pregnancy. You do not need to repeat the urine tests. A healthtap  doctor in your state can order the BHCG for you through a virtual visit.

Question 5

two months late with a negative pregnancy test, is there a chance that i could be pregnant n just have to low of a hcg level to pick up?

Accepted Answer

Trust the test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctor's office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Question 6

is ovulation possible when blood hcg level of 271 in blighted ovum pregnancy? could sex day of blood test cause another pregnancy? miscarried next day

Accepted Answer

No: No ovulation is not possible if the hCG is elevated.

Question 7

could i have an ectopic pregnancy with hcg level too low for home pregnancy test even after 2 months? missed two periods, tested 6x negative. had blood test 3 week after first missed period, negative? would that blood test be accurate, or too soon ?

Accepted Answer

: Irregular menstrual periods are common. The fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone can be easily affected by stress, weight gain/loss, exercise, lack of sleep, thyroid problems, and uterine issues. If your period irregularities persist, talk to your Dr about what testing can be done to determine the cause. You are not pregnant, as tests at those dates are very sensitive.

Question 8

what could be the reason behind having high hcg levels?

Accepted Answer

HCG: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone that normally supports the development of the egg in the ovary, its release and then helps support pregnancy. However, some abnormal tissues can also produce this hormone or one very similar to it. Most pregnancy tests are based on this hormone. It use as a tumor marker requires a different setting and test system.

Question 9

what causes low hcg levels? i ovulated a week early could that be a reason?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Hcg levels identify a pregnancy. Low levels may represent a very early pregnancy depending on how many days you are late for your expected period. You will have to have more tests to see if it doubles or not. If it decreases you had a chemical pregnancy. Talk with your OB about getting further tests to see if the pregnancy is normal.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is a wide range for normal HCG levels in healthy pregnancies. See this site for more info.
