Have you had a follow up blood draw to see if it is doubling?

I answered this on PgAL as well, but that number means little unless it is compared with another number. Wait to see what your second set of numbers says.

I had a starting low number with my last pregnancy as well. It doubled very nicely with the 2nd draw and is now a 3 year old.

I hope things go well for you.

Isn't a draw to check for doubling supposed to be done within 48 hours? I could be pulling that out of nowhere.

I feel like it should be a bit closer between the first and second draws. Third draws are sometimes pushed to a week from the 2nd.  I'm guessing OP's doctor has his/her reasons.
