    Ok now Im confused...

    My Doc called with the results of the latest blood test and it is only 32 still. It was 31 four days ago...so its not looking good.
    But why would I have that level in the first place if its not increasing?

    I havent got my period. I only had spotting twice about week and half ago and I thought that could of been implantation?

    Doc said if I havent got my period by end of the week then to redo blood test.
    He said its still possible that it is a pregnancy but it may have not implanted yet?

    Im not hopeful though....

    Any thoughts girls?

    you poor thing, you must be so confused. I *think* its the corpus luteum that creates the HCG level until the placenta is able to take over that function but I have no idea about not having implanted, I dunno if that would create HCG if the blastocyst hasnt implanted I dont want to be awful and upset you but you may be pregnant but things arent dividing how they should be iykwim. With my first bub, HCG level stopped rising properly at 5ish weeks but then started going along perfectly at 6.5 weeks, bodies can do such weird things, especially when they are trying to hold on to that bubba! Im no Dr, so as I said, obviously he has ALOT better idea about the implanting and HCG. Hope you get the answers you want soon, hun

    With my DD the bHCG levels were only 29 at 15dpo - after 2 strong positive HPTs lol - and she's now 5wks old I had to get a follow up bHCG the next week just to make sure the levels were rising as I have a history of miscarriage, but everything went perfectly and it was just that she had implanted later than normal (around 10-11dpo) and my HCG levels were on the lower end of the spectrum (with my DS they were pretty much average).

    I hope everything ends up alright for you *hugs*
