BFP and HCG levels?

Well, after two years of trying, I can't believe we got a positive test! We are at such high risk of miscarriage, though, that I have one foot on the excellorator and one on the brake!

I have a question about HCG levels. Our first level was 183. Our second should have been twice that at 366, but it was only 337. Does anyone have experience with this?

KSwann,
Congrats!!!!
HCG levels are supposed to double between tests and yours seem pretty good.

Here is a website that lists levels of hormones based on timing:

Congrats on the BFP! My friends numbers were lower too, but she is in 8th week and everything seems to be okay. The dr said that some womens bodies and babies are slow starters and it takes a bit longer for numbers to jump. I will keep you in my prayers.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
