HCG levels in Early Pregnancy
2 Answers
Hello, i am approx 5/6 weeks pregnant with HCG levels taken last week which doubled every 48 hours. I go for a scan next week.... and so wondering as the levels increased does this mean all will be ok? Or as i am still early does this mean nothing until i am 13 weeks and over.
The usual worries before ultra sound scan!!!!

Ultrasound results are far more accurate that hCG levels as an indicator of foetal development.
