hCG test question

[underwaterrhymes]

How quickly do you get results for hCG tests? (I'm having some mild cramping and faint brown spotting, so am going in for a blood test today and an ultrasound on Friday.)

I always got them the next day. Sometimes that involved stalking my doctor's phone nurse.

I went in first thing in the morning and had my results that afternoon.

Are you still in your first trimester? I had the mild cramping with both pregnancies and had the light brown spotting when I was pregnant with my son. Everything was fine! I was told the cramping is your uterus expanding and brown is old blood.

I hope everything turns out fine!

I was always able to get them the next day.

Can't help with your question.
But the cramping is totally totally normal. Muscles and ligaments have begun stretching that have never stretched before. Also, many women have some spotting. Try not to get upset.

Also, hope everything is okay.

Lurker here. Usually next day. But you get the first blood draw and then another I believe 24-48 hours later. It's the second draw that's more important - they want to see the number double. I had brown spotting/cramping my entire first trimester with both pregnancies. Try to relax, easier said than done, I know. Good luck.

I don't have an answer to your question, just wanted to wish you good luck!

Thanks guys. By nature I'm an upbeat person, but still a bit worried.

jersey - I'm about 6 weeks and 2 days along. Not very far into it.

I've had some cramping all along. But I know too well how scary spotting/bleeding is. Good luck<3 keep us posted.

I got mine the following day. I too had spotting and cramps about that time and it ended up being NBD. Most moms I have talked too have experienced the same. I'm crossing all fingers and toes for you
