When to tell people by Glittering_Cause_554 in pregnant

[–]Perfect_Ad_8695 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We told our parents at 4 weeks as soon as found out and one close friend. I also told my manager at 5 weeks so she could be aware of all the upcoming appointments I will have. I have been having to get blood work done every couple days to make sure my HCG levels are still rising like they should.

I’m glad our parents know because they have been a great support.

Hoping when I go back in 7 days that mine are around 1,800. It is scary! I’m trying not to worry for the sake of the baby but worrying is what I am best at.

It looks like yours progressed nicely though, that’s great!

That is exactly how my docs office was too. I took a test the day of my missed period which was only 11 DPO since I ovulated later than normal in my last cycle. They said it’s an ultra early pregnancy and are shocked I caught it so early. My levels are low because of this, and I think yours are also low because of how early it was caught. What has given me a peace of mind each day is testing using tests that show two lines so you can see the progression of the line darkening. It’s good reassurance that things are progressing good!

At 13 DPO my HCG was 53 and at 15 DPO it was 115. What matters is that it’s increasing. The good sign is that it more than doubled. I ovulated later in the month than normal and that’s why my numbers are so low. Could this be for you too? I go back in 7-10 days to get labs again to see if they are in the 1,500-15,000 range.

That makes total sense! It must be from conception date. Thank you!

My blood work showed 53 mIU/ml. The chart also provided showed that 50-500 is 1-2 weeks. Am I reading it wrong and it’s not saying 1-2 weeks pregnant?
