Q: What was your Beta HCG At 4 Weeks?

I had my betas done today (3w6d, or 12/13dpo) and my result was only 10! The lab where I am only considers the result "pregnant" if it is 25 or greater. All the research I've done shows that most doctors call anything above 5 pregnant!

I haven't actually missed my period yet (34-36 day cycles) the would be AF is due between Thursday Jan 17 to Saturday the 19th.

Urine HCG is still positive (and getting stronger positives). I got my first bfp at 11dpo and confirmed with a digi at 12dpo.

Mild dull cramping/pressure, nothing painful, no bleeding, still have loads of pregnancy symptoms. I'm not too worried, yet. I go for another draw in 2 or 3 days to see if betas are increasing.

What were your levels in your early pg? how far along were you when it was drawn? How many dpo? Thanks ladies!

Thank you everyone! I am trying not to stress I had some bleeding last night that lasted for about 1 minute. Was brick red (brownish red) no clots was not accompanied by cramps or pain. Since then it is just really scant spotting only when I wipe. AF due date is tomorrow so I am getting my bloods redone tomorrow morning (will be 3 days since my first beta). It has been a long two days so far!! DH and I want this so bad we've been trying to hard for 27 long months! urine tests are still coming out positive but so far not getting darker.... so I don't know it's really 50/50 at this point! Really hoping for the best!

Don't stress about your HCG levels as every womans HCG levels are different. I just turned 4 weeks pregnant today and the nurse called me today with my bloodwork from this morning. My hcg levels was 656.

It's probably fine. As others have said, it's still really early and the best indicator is if the level is doubling every 2 days. Get the level tested again tomorrow and that will give you more answers. Good luck and try not to stress!

Your level is supposed to double every other day, so maybe you ovulated a day or so later than you think. That would put you a day behind where you think you are so your levels would be lower than you expect. Unfortunately all you can do at this point is wait, but it sounds like you just tested too early to get a firm result. That's the problem with testing before the missed period, it's great to know right away but often it makes you question the results! Give it a couple of days and keep testing to confirm :) Congrats!
