Normal Beta @ 5 weeks

Had my first quanitative beta tonight, if all is well wont have another until 7 weeks at my first OB appt. What's the norm? She said if it's low or borderline theyll follow-up in about 48 hours. She said not to stress, but my thyroid disease, as well as other autoimmune conditions and heart problems may mean i'll be classified as high-risk.

So - what were your betas at 5 weeks?!

Re: Normal Beta @ 5 weeks

the main issue is not what the beta is - but that the number increases... I'm sure there is a website (i'll see if i can find it) where they list this info....but what matters is the INCREASE.... I have all my betas - but as i just wrote in another post - my dates were off - so i have no idea what week they were, etc...

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:

hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

* 3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
* 4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
* 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
* 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
* 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
* 9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
* 13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
* 17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
* 25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
* Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
* Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman’s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

Re: Normal Beta @ 5 weeks

thanks so much! i didnt realize the number didnt matter as much as the fact that it goes up.

Re: Normal Beta @ 5 weeks

Everyone is different. At 4 weeks mine was 97.
