I'm Pregnant!! Lots of Qs and worried

[erika1631]

Hi,
I'm new and just joined the forum. I had 3 positive pregnancy tests (only faint lines) and went to the doctor today for a blood test and my HCG was 43.7 He said it's very low and I should have it retested in a week to make sure it's viable pregnancy.
My cycle is usually slightly irregular and range from 42 to 47 days. My LMP was 26/4/2009 and I think we conceived on 30/5/2009.
Although we didn't plan this pregnancy hubby and I are both so excited. I'm just very worried now, because the dr said my hcg is low...
I also took an anti-inflammatory tablet yesterday because I had a massive headache. I feel so bad now because I had NO idea.
I bought some pregnancy vitamin tonight and will start now.
Any ideas if that is an ok level? I'll retest, but I just want to put my mind at ease.
Thanks,Erika

Hi!
I'm also not sure about HGC levels but if you concieved on the 30/5 you would only be 3.5 weeks pregnant which is still verry early! That could explaine why your levels were so low. Good luck with the next test

Here is a link to a thread about hCG levels in pregnancy: http://forums.bellybelly.com.au/foru...pregnancy.html

Your levels sound like they are fine for your current gestation (3-4 weeks)

i had a BT at 16 days after conception (assisted conception so we knew dates) and my beta level was only 27. i had weekly tests for a couple of weeks to make sure all was going well, and then a viability scan (some call this a dating scan - guess it depends on who refers you!!)

i now have a 13 day old bubba from that cycle - so hun, your numbers definitely aren't too low - they're just being cautious and will monitor the way they climb. it's not the beginning number that matters, it's the way it climbs...

good luck
