Question about low HcG

I got my blood test back today and my hcg level is low. She said it was 37.8. I am currently almost 6 weeks (23-26 dpo). From what I have seen on the internet, I should be in the thousands by now. Do you think the 37.8 that she said to me was just a unit of measure that she was reading off the computer? I mean, do you think it's just the way the lab writes it...it's really like 3,780 or 37,800? She wants me to come back for another test tomorrow. If it was only 37.8 at six weeks, wouldn't they know that was too low and not have me come back in? She said it was low but not extremely low. Isn't just 37 extremely low?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Susan

It is low! But I bet shes thinking your not as far along as you think you are ! The best thing to do is not compare hcg with other charts and people because every person is diffrent at the time af was do with my last my hcg was a 6.3 .. meaning implantion probally happened later than we thought ! let us know how the beta goes !

Well Susan, I don't really have any advice for you, but keep your head up and keep thinking positive. I hope everything works out for you.
