I'm feeling a bit scared today :(. I mean I was fine earlier but this afternoon I've started very light and brown spotting, which I read from the posts is relatively normal.

I then called the dr's office to see what my HCG levels were from yesterday and they reported back at 243....low... the nurse put me in at about 2-3 weeks, closer to 2 because of the level. But i've got to be more just based on being 2 weeks late.

I am confused but trying to keep strong while I wait for my dr to phone back with the next step.

Anyone been through this?

My first HCG at 15dpo was 103.2. Which seemed low to me.

You really need a second draw to know anything.

My next Draw at 18dpo was 742.2, 25dpo 15018.5, dpo 35 101983.1.

Mine were doubling appropriately, even though it started out low.

I really hope it all works out ok!

as the PP said, don't focus on the number, focus on if it's doubling.

Like Jacqueline said, you can't really base anything off of your first draw.

The only thing that matters about your hcg numbers is whether they are doubling approx. every 2 days. Especially early on, since there is such a wide range of "normal". When will you have repeat b/w?

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that all is fine!!

I hope that your dr. was able to get you in for another blood draw.
