35 and just got positive— is it too low?

in Pregnant after 35
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??

    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.
