high first beta level - worried

kimberleee · 07-09-2008, 03:02 PM

Hi - I had my first level taken at 13dpo (3weeks 5days past LMP) and had a reading of 800 - I had another test taken 2 days ago and one more tomorrow (4 weeks 6 days past LMP) but don't have results for those until next week.
I'm worried about a molar pregnancy given this level is off the charts - has anyone had a healthy pregnancy with a level this high?
Thanks..

I had a molar pregnancy...and my numbers were normal to start. The numbers usually don't go up until a little later....

Don't read too much into the numbers. You will drive yourself nuts.

Congrats!

Thanks for that - I have an ultrasound this morning but don't expect to see much since it's so early - will find out more at the next one in a couple weeks - it's just hard waiting.....

Good luck at the US. You are still very early, so remember not to freak out!!!

How did your u/s go?

kimberleee · 07-23-2008, 11:34 AM

hi - well the numbers are still up there but I'll find out more next week.
at - my levels turned out to be:
3w5d past LMP - 800
4w3d past LMP - 4500
4w6d past LMP - 13,000
my ultrasound at 4w6d showed a sac measuring 5 weeks - I have another ultrasound next week so hopefully will see a heartbeat and feel alot better as those levels still seem a bit high to make me comfortable - my levels with my last pregnancy were spot on.
thanks!

Just a little note that some people don't even see a HB until about 7 weeks. I didn't see my little one's HB until 6 weeks 4 days.

kimberleee · 07-23-2008, 12:28 PM

yeah - I should be at about 7.5 weeks next week when I go for the scan - so should be able to see a heartbeat.

I would wonder about multiples with the high hcg levels. Your betas look great but they are certainly not anything to worry about, either a strong singleton or normal multiples in there.
