1st HCG results
7
Mon, 07-09-2007 - 9:00pm

My dr's office FINALLY called late this afternoon with the HCG results from July 6 (4 wks pg, somewhere 16-18 DPO). My number is 203, which sounded really good to me, especially after looking at one of the online charts. It seems like I'm about in the middle/median for that timeframe.


Then I made the mistake of looking around online for more HCG range charts and started to feel a little scared, like maybe the numbers aren't high enough. I know it can vary tremendously, so I'm not trying to put much stock in it. I'm not sure if they want to do another draw or not.


They didn't have the prog results yet. But I told them I'd been using natural progesterone cream just in case and the nurse told me to keep doing that just in case. Sounds like I might know tomorrow.


I'm happy about the HCG, but still a little nervous of course. I scheduled my first appt for July 26. Since I'll be about 7.5 weeks, should I expect my first U/S then?


I hope this sounds as good as I thought it did! Thanks, gals!

Congratulations, Jane. From what I know the first number looks good. However, you shouldn'tt let yourself get too worked up over your first HCG number. The important factor is that your numbers should be doubling properly. Do you have another blood draw scheduled? If not, you may consider asking for one....just to give yourself a bit of peace of mind when you see just how nicely those numbers are moving up. HTH

The numbers sound great. I only had one blood draw. I just went with it. And you will be far enough for an ultrasound when you go for your appt on the 26th.


congrats again.

Hello Jane,


Your numbers do sound great and like Candace said, as long as they are doubling that is mainly what matters. Yay for the good update!
