Should I be worried?

Question

Ok so I am about 4-5 weeks according to the hospital but last night they gave me an ultrasound because they believed i was further along because they checked my hormones and told me they were supposed to be at about 250 but they were up at 3500 so when they did the ultrasound the couldn't see anything but the yolk sac. So they determined that i was indeed 4-5 weeks but that doesn't explain why my hormone levels are so high. I hope my baby is ok...

Answer

I had this a couple of weeks ago. I believed I was just 6.5 weeks, hcg was 5407 and progesterone 96.9, she asked if I take supplements as it was so high (I don't), anyway I had the scan and they only see the gestational sac so they moved me to 5+2,then my consultant said we should have seen more for how high my hcg was. Monday (1 week later) I paid for a private scan as I couldn't wait two weeks and there my baby was with a heartbeat of 153 and measuring 6+6 so baby caught up a little.
Initially they put me back 9 days I was so worried, now it works out 5 days. I have a scan Tuesday aswel but now I've seen my baby I'm relieved.
I was on clomid and temping so I didn't see how my dates were wrong but they were just out a few days.
I looked it up a lot and was mostly success stories, 1 week can make a huge difference so just think positive Hun. Good luck.x

Answer

I'm 8+1 and had the same issues. They kept telling me that I had lost the baby, that it never attached, that it was ectopic pregnancy.. And that it was twins. At 5 weeks my hcg was 35,000. 2 days later was 49,000. I had my sono and there was a baby, and only one baby. They said sometimes there will be two and that's why the high hcg but the other baby don't survive and it absorbs. My little bean is still there. 
Ignore the dates, she went by lmp, not the size.

Answer

Hi! I'm at 5 weeks and when my doc first tested my blood on Mon I was at 3180. They asked me to take another on yesterday and it came back at 7260. Both times my doc said my hormone levels look great. I'm sure you don't have anything to be worried about.
