To: M
I am, according to my iVF doctor, at 6 wks 2 d. My HcG numbers have gone from 44, 297, 1420, 2700. According to my fertility specialist, a positive pregnancy is considered at 6 HcG. Again, as many others have said, each woman's HcG may rise at quite a variance. In fact, the HcG indicators on any chart should offer a variance of considerable proportion because of this fact. As in my situations, since I did IVF this time we can reasonable assume that my time frame is fairly accurate. However, the actual time of implantation to the uterine lining can vary by days from the transfer date. This can also be a factor when looking at HcG levels. I am seeing a heartbeat and the baby is measuring in a normal range at this point, but my HcG numbers are not doubling. Not sure if this is cause for too much alarm on my part, but as with all of us on this forum, bears some carfeful watching. In the meantime, don't forget to take good care of yourself and stay positive. I believe that all things happen for a reason. Best of luck and keep your spirits up!
