I just got a 33hcg, which seems very low. I've had two m/c in the past due to this...just wondering what everyone's hcg around this time was if you know...thx!

I'm not 100 percent sure how many days past AF I was, but I only drew a 27 my first blood draw. You could have ovulated late...meaning you're catching this earlier than suspected making your levels lower. That's what they told me.
I drew today again (48 hours later) and got a 129. As long as your levels go up after this draw (double , so a 66 or more) you're good to go.
These levels also vary person to person. You could be naturally lower while another woman could draw a higher level earlier. Again, they just need to double in two or three days.
Try not to stress. Everything is probably perfectly fine.
If you're paranoid, you could test a couple times to see if they are getting darker. I did that just to re-assure myself.

Thanks ladies- no not charting...I am a late ovulator, think I O'd around Sept 22nd...my line on the HPT never got darker...which made me think there is a prob...Ill find out tmrw if hcg increased. I really hate being in limbo. Hard to hope for best when preparing for worse.

My doctor has only taken blood from me once and has never said anything about my HCG levels. Why do some people know this so much? She didn't have me come in...of course at my first appointment she did a sono and we saw baby and heartbeat...is this why she hasn't checked my levels again?
I think about 13 DPO 137 and then 16 DPO 163, 23 DPO 5317, 27 DPO 15,790. Hope this helps. Try this website. betabase.info We saw a yolk sac and gestational sac at 5 weeks 3 days and the heartbeat at 6 weeks 4 days. I don't even think people get a positive HPT at 9 DPO!
Re: what were your hcg levels around 9 days past missed AF?
Hey! I JUST got back from my second draw.

33 sounds good for 9 DPO. My numbers we 65 @ 11 DPO and 201 @ 13 DPO. .
EDIT: I just re-read your post and realized you said 9 days past missed AF, not DPO... sorry.
Do you know when you ovulated? When did you get your bfp? Were you charting?
One beta means nothing, the second one will tell more.
