Help With Beta's
I got my BFP yesterday and went to the DR for bloodwork. I just called and they said it came back + but my levels are really low. They are only at 17(5=preggo). They wont even book a Dr appointment for me until my levels go up again. AF was due Monday, so am i ok, or do i have a real reason to panic like i am doing right now. I have to go back on Monday to get re-tested.

Re: Help With Beta's
I tried to find the recent post but I know a few posters had discussed low initial betas, and everything turned out fine. I will keep trying to find the post..... In the mean time here is a chart I found online early on.Beta Chart
More info from another website: Sample reference list for HCG levels in singleton pregnancies, based on days past ovulation (DPO):
* At 14 DPO, the average HCG level is 48 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-119 mIU/ml. * At 15 DPO, the average HCG level is 59 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-147 mIU/ml. * At 16 DPO, the average HCG level is 95 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 33-223 mIU/ml. * At 17 DPO, the average HCG level is 132 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-429 mIU/ml. * At 18 DPO, the average HCG level is 292 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 70-758 mIU/ml. * At 19 DPO, the average HCG level is 303 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 111-514 mIU/ml. * At 20 DPO, the average HCG level is 522 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 135-1690 mIU/ml. * At 21 DPO, the average HCG level is 1061 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 324-4130 mIU/ml. * At 22 DPO, the average HCG level is 1287 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 185-3279 mIU/ml. * At 23 DPO, the average HCG level is 2034 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 506-4660 mIU/ml. * At 24 DPO, the average HCG level is 2637 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 540-10,000 mIU/ml.
Accordingly, the key to interpreting the true value of HCG measurements is to look at their progression. In general, the HCG level will double every two to three days in early pregnanc
