Hi everyone. This is my first post. I've read dozens of threads which have answered so many questions for me (thank you all), but now I have one that I can't seem to find an exact answer to...
DH and I have been ttc since May of this year. We finally got a very very faint bfp on 10/21. I went to see the ob that week and since we had been using opk's, concluded that I was just shy of 4 weeks. I went in for blood hCG tests on 10/22 and 10/24 and just had another one on 11/7 (14 days since previous test). The levels were about 50 mIU/ml on 10/24 and 700 mIU/ml on 11/7. I was scheduled to go in for my first u/s on Monday but ob called me yesterday saying because I was only at 700 on Wednesday, she wants me to take another one since its a bit lower than what she expected. I was sort of in shock at the time so didn't ask the appropriate questions. So thought I might ask them here since I have been a wreck since the phone call.
Is 700 an awfully low number or just somewhat low? And should I be worried about miscarrying? First positive opk was 10/9 so I had just finished week 6 when I got the 700 mIU/ml reading.
All input is much appreciated and I apologize if I'm in the wrong forum.
