A member asked:

I have flucuating hcg levels since i tested postive on 14dpo, hcg ars 35, 24, 48 and now 317 at 5 wks. will my pregnancy be normal or ectopic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hcg levels: Rising hcg's are reassuring. However, i usually want to see a Progesterone level in patients at risk of ectopic, especially if plateau of HCG is noted. Most (but not all) ectopics have very low Progesterone levels. Often times even lower than an early miscarriage. See if your OB is comfortable with ordering and interpreting Progesterone levels.
