Hey ladies,
Yesterday I went in to my primary care doctor's office for a TB test (required for my volunteer gig) and told the NP I was pregnant. They brought the doctor in to explain that a TB test was probably still okay, yada, yada, but while I had her I asked for a bloodtest to confirm the pregnancy on a PGAL whim. So I went downstairs for the lab at around 9:30 am. I just got the results back - I was at 595 mIU/ml. In her email she said that according to the lab's ranges, it indicates very early pregnancy "about 4 weeks." This chart indicates that would be in the normal range for 4w3d: www.babymed.com/is-my-hcg-blood-level-normal# The blood was drawn the morning of 4w4d (and I know my O date with confidence). So it puts me about a day behind, but I'm trying to remain reasonable. So I asked her to order a follow up test on Thursday (I have to go in for the TB results anyway) to see if it doubles. In the meantime, I would love to put this to the group - does this level seem okay? I went a little rogue doing this through my primary care doc, so I have to do a little of the interpretation myself.
Thanks in advance for dealing with my crazy!
Update: I got my results for my second draw - I went from 595 to 1416 in 48 hours!
