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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
