    I think you need to stop thinking about it!!!!!! Your mind is clearly running around in circles!!!!!

    But to answer your question, probably but not necessarily. If you HCG levels are low then it MIGHT be a problem. However there is very little that they can do about it either way so no point rushing in.

    However I am willing to put a hundred million dollar bet on that is it a low vitamin or iron levels. You can pay me back in chocolate.
    Hey Fiona!

    Yes, I know and I'm totally with you.

    Oh chocolate sounds brilliant!

    Possibly low iron or B12 or that you aren't immune to something like rubella or chicken pox would be my first guess if it is "non-urgent"

    My GP always made me make an appointment to go in and 'discuss' that results showed there was absolutely nothing to discuss. Generally the person calling is a receptionist, not the Dr, and as such they can't divulge any information over the phone, they have to ask that you make an appt to talk to the Dr. Hope everything's normal - FWIW my GP made me go in just so he could say, 'Blood test confirms you are pregnant. Take vitamins, make an appt for 4 weeks' time for antenatal appts' and that was it. 45 seconds of my time. Good luck!

    All good! HCG levels awesome! The doctor just wanted to tell me that I'm not immune to chicken pox, but aside from that all is going fantastically! Very happy! Hope you're all doing great ladies! I'm now taking elevit as recommended by doctor, as it will help me not to feel so queasy thanks to the B6 I'm told! :-)

    I have had the same thing... mine was low in Vitamin D, iodine and a very very slight case of Toxoplasmosis! (the reading could have been wrong) I had to get retested for that one as the test was inconclusive....

    I am no expert but "non-urgent" you would suspect would mean - nothing is dramatically wrong that can't be fixed!!!

    Good luck hun xx

    I got a call like that, but it was low iron and very low vitamin b.... those sort of calls and not knowing send me silly. So yes, a cuppa and some chocolate sound a treat!
