Trying not to read into it...

So I went in on Friday for my first set of betas, apparently they told the Dr this morning they didn't collect enough specimen to run the test & I was due to go back this morning anyway for the second set. Went in this morning & finally a nurse at the doctors office just called me. She refused to give me the results of the test & said the doctor needed to review them further. The tone in her voice sounded a lot like she was delivering bad news. It isn't that difficult to look at the numbers: if it goes up decently that's good, if it goes down or stays level that's bad! I don't need an MD to review the numbers I can figure that out. I wish I could go have a big glass of wine right now! Attempting not to stress myself out.

I wouldn't worry too much.  My doctor likes to see the results and tell them to the patient as well.

My mom had something like this happen a few years ago with a mammogram. They said they needed the doctor to call her back to get her test results. My mom was obviously a bit freaked out, but it turned out fine. The office just had a policy that ONLY docs could give patients information on test results; not nurses or other office staff.

I hope this is the case for you, too, and that you get great news on your numbers!

It is probably just their policy not to call results without a doctor reviewing them.  My doctor was out when I had betas drawn.  I asked if the nurse could call them to me and they told me not unless the doctor signed off on them first.  I hope that's all it is.

Don't worry too much.  I work in a Dr.'s office and we also house OB/gyn.  None of us can give results until the Doc has seen and signed off on them.

Hopefully, it is just an office policy like the PP stated!! Crossing my fingers for an awesome beta for you!!
