Yesterday I had my HCG level taken, and I got the results this morning. 168 mlU/ml and I go back Friday to make sure it’s increasing. Is 168 a good level at 5 weeks? I had a miscarriage in 2019, and have previously been told I may have endometriosis, so I am worried about miscarriage.

I’m also trying not to worry because I know stress can affect things as well. So I keep telling myself “Happy, Healthy, Baby 2023”.

I have had cramping but no bleeding, tender breasts, smell aversion, nausea, the whole lot of symptoms but now I feel normal. I’ve been told symptoms come and go, so again I keep trying to remind myself… “Happy, Healthy, Baby 2023”.

Is this normal? Is worrying and sadness part of the hormone levels?
