Am I pregnant...low hcg count

[saramac]

Hi everyone,

I have taken a number of pg tests and all have come back with a faint line...but still a BFP?!?
I had a blood test which came back with 31HCG and my doc said its still above the pg threshold but a low number.
Im having another blood test on monday.

Can you have a look at my chart and tell me your thoughts??
Also we are trying for a girl...does it look like we BD on the right day to increase our chances?

Any advice is appreciated!!

Hi saramac
I dont undertsand a lot about those charts and attempting gender selection, Im sorry. But I do know that any HCG level over 5 is considered 'pregnant'. The HCG level its self needs to double/ triple every 24- 48 hours, so one HCG reading wont give a very accurate result iykwim. It may be low but if it is meeting that quota of increase it should not be of concern. HTH

Hi Saramac and congrats on your bfp! You are definitely pregnant and as Lilydust said, it's more about the number increasing etc than ther number itself. My first hcg with my DS was only 33 and he was fine I had much higher numbers with my angel baby last year. Sending you sticky vibes xo

my DD started out at only 17 or 27 (can't recall) but it's more about how they climb. one test isn't enough - you'll need more tests to confirm what the hcg is doing now

I had a HCG level of 72 at 6weeks and am now 22weeks, so low HCG doesn't mean anything as long as it is climbing well

Thanks everyone.

Took another pg test this morning and it was still very faint ...but could see it.
Am having a blood test tmw morning so will hopefully know by the evening if my hcg count has gone up.

Fingers crossed!
