I feel like my hcg number is low.

[eav2c]

The nurse called me and I said I must be really early in getting a BFP. I white lied and said I didn't know my LMP and I should be 4weeks 5days. My hcg is 104 and I don't feel optimistic about this number though I know it's still in normal range. I don't remember my numbers with C but I remember they were awesome. My progesterone is great at 42 though.

carawestt Where was your hcg at?

[TrudyCampbell]

I had SUCH LOW NUMBERS with Violet. I'll try to dig them up somewhere. Every week my RE said I was going to miscarry and I didn't. I know it's nearly impossible but do notttt focus on your beta numbers. They CAN indicate something but they don't necessarily mean anything. No worrying at this point!

[TrudyCampbell]

How many DPO are you roughly?

[eav2c]

I don't go back till Monday and I will have an ultrasound then too. I am about 20DPO.

eta: I could be wrong, I was never 100% but know when we had sex so I'm basing off those two days.

[TrudyCampbell]

These were my numbers with Violet

13dpo- 17, 15dpo- 30, 24dpo- 127, 31dpo- 800, 38dpo- 1800, 45dpo-5000

Biblio's first number was low this time too I think. biblionerd

It's not the number that matters really, just that is rises appropriately!

[TrudyCampbell]

Mine didn't even rise appropriately and I still had a normal pregnancy with Violet!

[eav2c]

Thanks all. I guess I just expected to be blown away by the number, lol. We will see Monday/Tuesday. Ahh.

I wouldn't worry especially if you aren't 100% sure of ovulation. I don't put full faith in OPKs anyway. With pcos particularly you can turn an opk positive and not actually ovulate. I know you have long cycles so you could have caught a surge where you geared up to ovulated but didn't. Then you could have ovulated later and not even known and aren't that far along at all. My numbers were higher on 20 dpo this time, but I know they were a lot lower last time around, with Linus at least. I was also told I was going to miscarry, but was just earlier than I thought. GL! Your progesterone is amazing!

I don't remember what my hcg levels were, I think she said like 140 (maybe 240?) something? I was so concentrated on my low progesterone number so I wasn't really listening to the others after she said "everything else looks perfect." Even at 25, that's considered 'pregnant', so as long as they're doubling, you're fine! Your progesterone number is awesome! Mine was around 5.2 at 4 weeks.

With A my hcg number was so low, my dr hesitated to even say I was pregnant. Seriously, I think it was like in the twenties when I was about 4 weeks.
It's the doubling time that matters more than the actual number, so try not worry.
