HCG level

fertilitystruggle profile image

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask what is normal HCG level.

I had my frozen embryo transfer two weeks ago.

My HCG level came back today at 290 and the nurse said this was a good result.

Is this a normal result?

I just feel like maybe I’m being too paranoid but A

any help will be appreciated 💛

Hi fertilitystruggle,

There is no normal level! Every woman and every pregnancy is different. Normally clinics have a minimum they like to see for it to be a confirmed positive, I think normally over 50 but other that that there isn’t really a benchmark. They vary so much.

Congrats on your positive, try not to worry too much and I hope your scan date comes around quickly xx

Sounds like a good starting number. There is no right or wrong here and you havent mentioned how many day post transfer you are. hCG varies massively but if the clinic are happy I'd take that as reassurance. All the best.xx

Hi Cinderella5,

Sorry I didn’t mention I was day 14 of frozen embryo transfer. They did say they were happy with it but I was still a little nervous x

So are you 14dp5dt (technically 19DPO?) - my clinic likes to see over 100 9dp5dt (14DPO) and there are studies which show the best chance of a successful pregnancy is for 100+ at this time so 290 is well in the range

Have a look at betabase for average ranges of hcg levels on each day post ovulation

Hey lovely. Did you have a 5 day blastocyst transferred? Your number is similar to mine with 5 day blast and my clinic were happy with the number xx

Hi Peanutchips, I had a frozen embryo transfer. And I’m very glad to hear that.

So far everything sounds good but to get to this stage seems like a dream💛

I assume you are 14dp3/5/6dt (17, 19 or 20 DPO). This would be 5 weeks pregnant. The range used by my clinic is 217 - 7138 (as a comparison, 4 weeks 9.5 - 750, 6 weeks 158 - 31795). All numbers are good within the range. I was usually close to the lower limit and have now a baby boy. Higher numbers are usually for multiple pregnancies.

Good luck!

Hi mary77777,

Yes I was 14 day of my frozen embryo transfer yesterday.

I’m so glad it worked out for you and hope it works out for all of us too💛

Hi treezuk,

I did have two embryo transferred and I don’t know if it’s twins of just single.

I would be very happy if it was twins. I don’t know if my HCG level was high enough for it to be considered twins x 💛

As i said above my first level was 186 and I was having twins so it’s totally possible.

No worries at all i didn’t find out till 7w scan that it was twins but the 2nd beta that week later kinda made us wonder

I’m 10 weeks with twins and my hcg at 8dp5dt was 159 x

Hi ivfgotadream,

Now I am really thinking maybe it could be twins. The nurse did say that to me! Ohh I’m super excited now 🙏🏼💛 x

Mine was 950 at 13dp5dt and mine was just a single so they can be quite high even with one! Honestly don’t think the numbers can tell you much but the scan will xx

Hi Kiboxx,

That is very true, numbers can never predict much. I guess it’s always best to wait till the scan happens x
