Wife HCG Levels Have Doc Concerned
Hi,
I'm a husband. It's my first post and I'm really anxious.
My wife got off hormonal BC in Feb 2026.
We haven't been trying all that hard but we've been having sex. She noticed breast tenderness and a period that lasted a while. She was bleeding for nearly a mth. She has an extremely sensitive vagina and she bleeds often when we have sex. Also during a pap smear.
We aren't entirely sure when conception date was but her last period began July 11. Conception could be July 25 or sometime mid July.
Blood work returned a 5783HCG on Thurs at 3:30PM. And then 8350HCG on Monday at around 12PM.
Doc is concerned and sent her for an ultrasound.
I know nobody really has an answer here but I know those doubling levels aren't good and the research is against us. I've also read some anecdotes on here that HCG doesn't matter.
Just an anxious husband looking for some comfort.
