  ^That. You need to call your doctor and ask that question.

  The on call doctor had no idea what that even meant.. Just told me to schedule an appt for Monday. I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar test result.

  Usually If there was an issue they would call you instead of just hand over results. I would just wait until Monday and call your regular nurse or OB

  You really have to ask your doctor- high CRPs can be attributed to a fairly wide range of things

  It's a sign of inflammation or infection. It's very unspecific.

  This. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my CRP is always high. I've had one normal level (4.8) in the last 10 years, and I have blood tests every 3 months. My doctor stopped testing the CRP because it's always high and has no correlation with how I feel. 
  
  I'm concerned that the on call doctor had no idea what it meant. I suppose if it's an OB, inflammation markers might not be their specialty, but they did go to medical school right?
