question about HCG levels
August 28, 2008
Hello, I am 12dpo today, I took several pregnancy tests 3 different brands all came up positive the one's with the 2 lines the 2nd line was faint but def. there and I took a digital one that read "pregnancy" I had blood work done today and they called and said my quantitive was at 23 and my Porgesterone is at 10, and that quantitive is usually at 25 and they don't know if i'm pregnant, but my OB wasn't in and they would call me back tomorrow and let me know whats going on. What would cause my home pregnancy tests to all be positive, but my blood work to be so low? Could it be because I tested 2 days before my period was due or something else? Thanks
Kelli-- thank you for the link. It says 5-25 is considered unsure I am at 23 so I fall in that range, hopefully when I go back saturday for my second round of blood work it will have gone up. I wish I would of been over 25, but I guess I am still only at 12dpo and my level is at 23 so I guess i'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Thank you all for your help!
Kelli thank you so much! It feels like we have been ttc forever and I finally get my bfp only to have the nurse call me back and say we're not sure if your pregnant. I was just crushed! I have been doing some research online and have found many woman who have gone for lab results at 12dpo and some were even lower than me. And of course your personal experiece. I am starting to feel much better. Thinking back the nurse didn't ask me how long my cycle's usually are she just asked when the first day of my last period was...so if they were basing it off of a 28 day cycle (mine is 33 days) they prob. think my period is already late. Gosh I hope thats all it is. Thank you again so much!
Hey girls I have an update: my doctors office called back today and said they are going to put me on a progesterone suppliment, and they want to do 2 more blood tests one saturday and one on monday. But they said since I tested at 12dpo that I shouldn't worry to much it could of just been early. I hope they are right.
Hi hooch like the other ladies have said that you are probably to early... i got my BFP this month and went in for the blood test, my number was 34 they said it was borderline i had a repeat b/t 2 days later and they tripled to 114 so please dont stress to much, i know its easier said then done:)
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEXT B/T.

YOur level should go up by 66% every 2 days so they will probably bring you back in 2 days from now to have another test to make sure they are going up.
congrats to you - you dont have any HCG in your body unless you are pregnant so you deff are pregnant!
DId you use fertilty meds or take a trigger shot at all?
