I'm Pregnant!! Lots of Qs and worried

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

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

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 :crossfingers:

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) :)
