I had blood drawn and my Hcg was 17. I go in in two days to see if it doubled. Is this low? The nurse said that it is very early and there is a wide range. Should I be concerned!?
I had another blood draw today at 12 DPO and my level was 52! It tripled!
I asked the nurse about the levels and as she was telling me about what they mean my daughter was acting up and I didn't hear anything she said! So now I am freaking out!
You should be fine. Levels are always low in the beginning. If it hasn't changed much when you go in again, then worry. But they should be at the least twice that when you get it checked.
Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :
- 3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
- 4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml

- 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
- 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7,650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
- 9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
- 13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
- 17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
- 25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
- Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
- Postmenopausal: <9.5 mIU/ml

Maybe this will help i got my blood draw at 10 dpo too but i dont know what my number way
You are just fine. I had mine drawn at 10dpo and it was only 11. They said that I was pregnant, but barely. I went back two days later and it was up to 240 and 4 days later it was 860. 10dpo is just really early and depending on when you implanted, you may just be catching the beginning of you hcg rise. We will be 8 weeks on Sunday and everything is going just fine......horrible all day sickness and all =) I just wanted to wish you luck....I know how stressul low numbers can be!
