What are the signs of successful implantation?

What is considered slow rising hCG?

Slow rising hCG levels in early pregnancy

hCG usually doubles every 48-72 hours very early in pregnancy, when the hCG is below 6,000 mIU/ml. A rise above 35% in 48 hours is still considered normal and a rise below 35% in 48 hours is generally considered abnormal.

Can you test positive 4 days after implantation?

What does discharge look like after successful implantation?

After implantation, mucus tends to be thick, gummy, and clear in color. Some women experience implantation bleeding, or spotting. This can occur 6 to 12 days following conception. Unlike your normal period, implantation bleeding should stop after 24 to 48 hours.

Can you be pregnant but have low hCG?

Low levels of hCG can indicate whether a pregnancy is in a stage where low hCG levels are normal, such as in very early pregnancy, or in a pregnancy that is post-11 weeks.

Can hCG levels be too low to detect pregnancy?

An hCG level of less than 5 mIU/mL is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25 mIU/mL is considered positive for pregnancy. An hCG level between 6 and 24 mIU/mL is considered a grey area, and you'll likely need to be retested to see if your levels rise to confirm a pregnancy.

What is the hCG level at 1 week?

How can I check my hCG levels at home?
