Stupid lab

Today I had my second beta draw to see if my levels were dropping, since it's now been 7 weeks since my D&C and you would think the hcg would be out of my system.  Last week it was 127, so I was just hoping for a lower number.

Well, I got an email that my results were in, so when I go online to check them, all it says is POSITIVE.  They didn't do a quantitative hcg, only a qualitiative!!  I'm so mad, if all I wanted was Pos/Neg I could have poas this morning.  I have a call in to the doctor to see if they can run the quant with the blood they have, but I'm so frustrated.  The only thing I know for sure at this point is that the hcg is STILL not at zero.  So annoying.

    Well, that's just freaking ridiculous! I'm so sorry, so not what you needed.

    Is this with the new RE?

    Sheesh, with a bloodtest, why the heck would one ever even bother with a +/-, I mean, what could getting the actual beta hurt?

    So sorry.

    I am so sorry, seriously.  If you go in for a blood PG test wouldnt you automatically think they would be checking for levels not just a postivie or negative.  The Doc would have you pee on a stick for that.  Ugh.

    Yeah, I don't get why they would even do just a +/- blood test.  There really is no point.

    choirgirl--I still haven't seen the new RE.  I had to get a referral from my PCP so she is the one who ordered the tests.  I guess she doesn't do blood hcgs very often!
