**UPDATE**T&Ps, Please

[frankenboom]

**UPDATE**
I just FINALLY got a call back from the doctor's office - the 17DPO Beta was 132 - so they're happy that I increased so well in less than three days, but they do want me to keep coming in for more betas every couple of days to make sure it gets to whatever the number the doctor wants to see. So looks like I'll be a human pin cushion for a while - but it was good news! Thank you all SOOOO much for the support - it means a lot!!!!!

Oook so first mega scare for me...

I had blood work done on Friday, and I just got a call from my doctor's office that they want me to come in and do a repeat of the blood work because my number () was very low...the girl on the phone said it was 33. I have no clue what that means, but she said it's supposed to be doubling and tripling, which is why they want a repeat.

Needless to say, I'm terrified. I'm heading back in shortly to get blood taken. Any thoughts, prayers, and positive thoughts are appreciated.

T&Ps your way, Frankenboom.

The number she's talking about is your hcg, they want to see it double every 48 hours.

Do you know how many DPO you were on Friday? 33 is low, but depending on how many DPO you were that may not really be all that low.

ETA: It's not so much the number that matters, but the doubling time. That's why they need to see a second draw.

So many hugs and thoughts and good juju headed your way!

[rztrumpet]

Repeat betas are normal.

33 is low, but with DD my first beta was something around 45. Doubling is much more important than the actual number.

T&Ps for your next draw!

I was 14DPO on Friday. I'm really hoping the number is good today. This is soooo terrifying.

Sending you lots of positive energy!

33 is COMPLETELY reasonable for 14dpo. You have no reason to worry right now ... let them take another draw and as long as your doubling time is around 48-72 hours, you should be fine.

T&P. Please keep us posted!

As pp have said, doubling is most important. So does dpo. If you're super early, that's a very reasonable starting number

[dazdareis]

Yes, 14 DPO & 33 is super realistic!! That's not very low at all. GL with a doubled number today!

[allycat]

For reference, here's a great hCG chart by dpo for singleton pregnancies. You'll see a 33 at 14DPO is fine... it's such a wide range.

T&P for you!!!

[ladygray]

Hugs and love for a great number today.

[risscaboobs]

Sending you love, hugs, and t's & p's frankenboom! Let me know as soon as you find out!

T&Ps coming your way.

[cinc1em]

Deep breaths. Doubling is much more important than where you start.

[themrsjrd]

FX for great numbers today! Will be thinking about you.

[onyx]

T&Ps!

[fuzzylogic]

Hang in there! It's early, and a low number is not uncommon or unreasonable. I'm sure it's fine!

[littleowl913]

T&Ps frankenboom!

[squeakyduck]

T&P!

[frankenboom]

Thank you all SO much - you've all made me feel a lot better and a bit more relaxed.

I was able to get into the office quickly (it's only about 10 minutes from work) and had the blood draw right away. The tech said that results should be in NLT tomorrow, so will be waiting on pins and needles until then.

Seriously, thank you. It's so nice to have such great support!

[catinatophat]

T&Ps! I hope they get back to you soon and everything is fine!

[mrspipp]

Sending (((hugs))) and fx for great numbers.

[frankenboom]

This may sound stupid, but I read that the ClearBlue Digital tests have a sensitive of 50(insert unit here). I turned one of those positive on Saturday morning, so wouldn't that mean that on Saturday morning, my level was at least 50?

[mynameiscarrie]

Thinking of you!

[run4fun]

Sending you T&Ps!

[sonpetitlapin]

P&PT for some beautiful doubling numbers!!! Keep us posted.

[medic7979]

T&P's for great results and doubling betas!!

[harvestmoon]

My thoughts are with you.

I believe it's a range of 20-50 starting. I got a positive at only 25 for hCG. I think they're about as reliable as an IC. I'd stick to results from your beta, they're far more reliable. GL.
