QuestionI have a niece who just had ivf, she is pregnant, however her hcg levels started out low. They took her off the shots and then it went up 205. she is 6 weeks, if it continues to shoot up will she remain pregnant and have a healthy baby.
AnswerDear Vera,
It's hard to say, just based on one number of the HCG levels. They will want to monitor her levels to make sure they are doubling every couple of days. That is the best indicator, along with an ultrasound at 7 weeks, to determine if the pregnancy is viable. 205 is low for 6 weeks, but again, they will need to monitor her levels to see if they are increasing appropriately.
