Pregnant after 35

35 and just got positive— is it too low?

I’ve googled and googled but I don’t want to psych myself out!! I tested pos on Friday ( about 12 dpo ) with a clear blue digi and 2 frer. I went to my pcp on Saturday and got hcg levels drawn since it was early. AF is due this Wednesday. I got the results back today and my hcg level was 26. I’m assuming this is perfectly normal since I haven’t missed AF yet and really I’m just getting a positive result. They did have me go to my OB today to get a redraw and I’m waiting on those numbers. I haven’t been pregnant in almost ten years but we’ve been trying for so long. Any thoughts or advice??

Re: 35 and just got positive— is it too low?

  • My lab test was approximately 12-14 DPO (I have a weird cycle and don't track ovulation) and came in at 12. I'm sure my OB will track mine closely since my last preg ended with MC, so while I don't like seeing the low number, all my internet research says there's a large range of normal. I would say it's less about how is the first measurement, and more, how is it measuring from one test to the next. Is it doubling like it should?

  • It's about it doubling in 48 hours. You might have ovuated earlier than you thought also.
