Just found out i'm pregnant. are my levels too low

[twinkledinkle]

I went to the hospital for some headache issues I have been having and told the Doc that I may be pregnant. Me and DH babydanced when I was having the ewcm which was on the 11th. He did a urine test (negative) and an ultrasound that showed a very thick endometrium which u/s tech said looked good but too early to see anything yet. blood test came back that I was pregnant with a beta of 13.9! Doc said I am pregnant & that I am just very early on like 1 week or so. But this doesnt sound right since I had sex with dh on the 11th and ovulated few days afterwards. These leveles just sound too low to me and have me very worried. What do you think? What were your levels? dont know exactly when I ovulated but period would be due tomorrow

I've just got results back on Friday regarding my levels and I *think* I was about 9DPO. My hcg levels came back at 50 and I was told that the pregnancy was only a couple of days old. My period was due yesterday or today.
I would go back in a couple of days and get bloods done again so you can be assured that they are going up

I am far from being an expert and am confused myself but I think you may be fine.

I had a beta test done on March 22 and it was 119, I then had one on March 24th and it was 321. According to my last menstrual cycle I should be 5wks 3 days but my OBGYN seems to think I am not that far. I am sure I ovulated on March 3rd as I have severe pain when I do. Im not sure if I am 5wks 3 days or 3wks 3 days....

I wish someone could give me some insight on this. HCG levels are so confusing!!

Yes they are! i'm confused right with you! Congrats to you and hope your levels continue to rise nicely

Try to relax.

This site shows the levels at different weeks and as you can see, especially between 3 and 5 weeks there can be a lot of overlap in the ranges. https://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html

So if you on the 11th and the "swimmers" can last up to (lets say) 5 days and they caught the egg that would've been the 15/16th. Your body doesn't start producing hcg until you have implanted so if that can take up to a week (lets say 4 days...) that puts you around the 20th. Your numbers can be well within the ranges allowed... Every woman and every pregnancy is different Try to relax, I know it's hard, but get your rest and stay hydrated.
