Tripled hcg blood tests. Is it good or bad. Could it be ectopic?

[Disneynala]

Hi everyone

I’m definitely pregnant but still scared it’s ectopic. I’m 4 weeks and 5 days I’ve had 2 blood tests within 48 hours. My first blood test came back as nearly 850 and yesterday it was nearly 2500-3000. Don’t know the exact results as he read them to me. My gp said everything is great and it’s rising like it should but I’m not so sure.

I have the normal pregnancy symptoms and some mild pain near my pubic bone slightly to the right, lower back and some pelvic pressure I have been getting some mild cramping too on and off I’ve had this since just before ovulation. My gp thinks it’s normal or could be my endo and I had surgery February and it could also be scar tissue pulling.

I’m so worried and stressed it could be ectopic because I have a partially blocked tube on the right. Has anyone else’s blood tests nearly tripled in a 48 hours?

Hi

From what I know about hcg if a pregnancy is ectopic it rises but at a lower rate than they would expect. I think levels rising like yours is a good sign. If the gp has said it’s okay I would try and do your best to relax. Are they testing you again?

Thanks for the reply. No I’m not being tested again x

No worries. There’s always something to worry about. And I’d say that the fact they’re not testing again is a good sign. You could book a private scan to put your mind at rest? They might not do until you’re 7 weeks though. X

Don’t worry. Take it as a good sign. My hcg levels almost trebled at the start too. It could indicate twins but I definitely only have one in there and all going well at 13 weeks. Congratulations mama!

Yes that hcg rise is a good sign x
