So this if my first pregnancy and I am FREAKING out! On July 11th I went in to Dr. to have my HPT confirmed. The blood test came back borderline so I had to go back on July 14th. That draw was 74. Then they wanted me to go in for another one on 7/16. That result was 161. Now they want me to go back tomorrow morning (7/18).

I haven't seen the doctor. I have only talked to nurses who are getting their instructions from the doctor. They have said that when it hits some magic number they will bring me in for an ultrasound. Aren't these numbers low? I have looked at charts and I know that levels can be lower than mine, and way higher.
I guess I just need some help putting my mind to ease a little bit.

ARGH!

Thanks, Ladies

It looks like you're doubling and thats what you're suppose to do. You are probably just EXTREMELY early pregnant. When was your last period? Because if you are just barely pregnant those numbers are okay to be that low. My first blood draw number was i think 497-ish and I was days late on my period. My OB said they didn't do an ultra sound until you hit like 5,000-10,000. But your numbers double like every 2nd day so as long as the next time you get blood taken they are higher than the one before you should be okay. Talk to your nurse next time you go in. GOOD LUCK!

That is the problem. My last period was on June 12th, so that puts me at 5 weeks, today. But we took Clomid for the first time this cycle and it just messed me all up, so I have no positive idea of when I ovulated.
Just all flubbed up.

I hope you get some answers soon! Sending doubling vibes your way

I was upset that my ob's office didn't want me to come in for b/w. I really wanted to know my levels. On the other hand, it might be extra stressful to know & worry if they're what you think aren't high enough.

I know it's hard, but do your best to relax. It's not good for you or LO

Levels are now at 462. Up from 161 two days ago.
I will take it. I think I must have been REALLY early and just didn't realize. Regardless I am scheduled Monday for another blood draw and my first ultrasound. I am so excited!!!!!

Stick Bean....Stick!

My levels were really low. At 5 weeks they were only 325. But they went through the roof once I hit 7 weeks and I have a healthy baby girl due in December! Good luck!
