TTC After a Loss

Blood work Results

After what seems like 10 faint positives over the past few days I finally called the dr today to get blood work done to find out if I am really pg or not.  Both the nurse at the dr's office and at the lab said it would be weird for me to still have detectable amounts of HCG in my system 8 weeks after everything, but I am very skeptical.

My question is for those who have had their levels tested before is it worth it to call the office to get my results from the first draw tomorrow or just wait until they do both draws and get the results on Monday?  Will the results from just one draw tell me anything?  I've never had this done before so I don't know what I am looking for. 

Thanks!

  • it will tell you how low or high the number is.  If you can wait for 2 blood draw for the results you can, I wouldn't be able to do that.

  • Thanks for responding, I'm not sure I can wait either I just didn't know if finding out a number tomorrow is going to make me feel better or worse.  I don't even know where the number should be.  I hate that having a m/c has taken all the excitement out of even a faint + hpt.  grrr.
