Very HIGH HCG levels week 5

Jessica

Hii Ladies!!

This is my first post but I need to see if I get feedback from other women in similar situations. A little background.. my husband (36) and I(30) are both ‘healthy’. We have been seeing an RE (reproductive endocrinologist) and have had ALL the tests and have been diagnosed ‘unexplained infertility’. Last year I got pregnant (later diagnosed blighted Ovum at 8.5 weeks) at exactly a week before I found out I was pregnant this year! It has been such a blessing finding out.. though we are cautiously excited!! From the day I found out I was going for blood work every 2 days.. my progesterone has been steady in the mid 20s for the most part.. my HCG has been doubling every 39 hours! The last blood work I had was this past Monday at 5w2d and it was 12,352!! I had an ultrasound the same day and the gestational sac was measuring exactly the size is should and they saw the early start of a single yolk sac.. they said everything is “beautiful” and they now want to see me on the 23rd (2 weeks after my sono and last bloodwork up.. I will be 7w2d). I called the PA in the fertility specialist office and she said that I need to close the books and stop searching the Internet! A huge concern of mine is that I have seen Down syndrome being correlated with high HCG levels.. the PA told me to relax and enjoy pregnancy and there is absolutely no wayy to have any indication of DS (dear son) with everything looking “this great”. She mentioned that technology is our worst enemy in a way. I just want to know... I’m just an anxious person in general and I am getting myself so worked up.

Please tell me your experiences if they were/have been seemingly similar.

Thanks so much!
