Help interpreting HCG results - please!

[lits]

Hi

I've just found out that I'm pg after a blighted ovum and 1 year of TTC. Although I'm excited I'm also very anxious and scared of m/c'ing again. I've just received my HCG results and I need some help interpreting them as they've been faxed to me and the range is blurred from the fax and I can't get in touch with my doc - just my luck!!

I had the test at 15DPO and it's at 299IU/L. Is this good, bad normal? I have another blood test tomorrow so that should tell me if it's doubling but I can't wait that long!

The report also says that the results were obtained using Bayer Centaur/ACS 180 method and shouldn't be compared with results obtained by another method. Is this the standard method?

Any help would be appreciated! Sorry about the long post.

Purplemamma, Satya and Bindy - thanks SO much for your positive replies! It's made me feel loads better and more positive.

I'm off to have the other bt this morning so I'll keep you all posted with the results.

Thanks!

good luck this morning but those levels are excellent to me
as The typical hcg level at 10 days past ovulation is about 25. It roughly doubles every 48 hours, so 12 days past ovulation it's 50, 14 days past ovulation it's 100, 16 days past ovulation it's 200, etc. so 299 is a great result

Belly rubs and sticky vibes to you

Congrats!!

As long as the numbers are doubling every 48hrs approx, is all that matters..... it doesnt have to be a high high number to start with, its how it doubles and rises that shows if its' a viable healthy pregnancy.

I get my results this afternoon from my 2nd BT I wish us both luck!!!
