Hcg, is this a bad sign?? Freaking out!!?

I got a positive bHCG late Sunday night, 147.... I had a repeat blood test on Tuesday morning the result 269. I have to have another blood test Saturday but I'm freaking out... Shouldn't the level be higher than that? My LKMP was 9 march, lasted 4 days and I have a 26 day cycle.

    My levels did what yours are doin, I had to get blood done every other day now im 26 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. If they feel its not goin up fast enough they will keep doin blood work until u get to about 1200-1500 and do ultrasound to see if there is a baby most likely ur body is just acting slow with hormones. Good luck

    It is lower but, you may have ovulated later and got a very early BFP. You really can't go by the beta levels themselves since each woman and pregnancy is different. :) Its going up so perfect! Usually the hCG/betas double every couple days or so but as long as there is an increase, you are great!

    This last time my hCG went up but not even by much so we didn't know. I wasn't as far along as we thought and everything was fine! My cycles were 32-38 days and I could ovulate anytime from cycle day 10 to as late as cycle day 21. I hadn't been fully charting when I conceived that time so I didn't know how far along I was. Plus, that was right after my first period post-partum with our second baby. I nurse and so tend to not have a first period until the baby is 12 months or more. My cycle was 48 days prior! So based on my LMP I should have been 7-8 weeks but I knew it wasn't that far lol.

    At any rate, you sound just great! Congrats!!!! Best of luck and blessings :)

    For this pregnancy my first beta was 20... talk about devastating... Two days later it was only at a 33. I though for sure I was going to miscarry. a couple days later it was at a 596. I was relieved. The simple fact that your numbers are going up and and not decreasing or stalling is a good sign. I think its a good sign that your numbers are increasing. Dont worry about it. Hope this helps...

    mine were the same. I am 23 weeks now with a girl. As long as it doubles, the number itself doesn't matter
