Doctors test negative?

Question

Hi all,

I had 3x BFPs over the weekend so went to my doc yesterday. That test was negative so he scheduled blood work. My HcG level came back as 69 which I understand is quite low for 4.5 weeks. I've just done a digital hpt and it came back pregnant 1-2 weeks since conception. Has anyone else experienced this and had a happy ending? I feel like my doctor is being totally unsupportive and pessimistic :(

Answer

Request another blood test to make sure HCG is rising. 
Doctors are a little unemotional when it comes to things like this but that doesn't mean you can't be proactive and see if the pregnancy is progressing.

Answer

Well just got my results and they are now 157 so have more than doubled. Doctor says this is still very low though so not to get too excited 😕

Answer

The at home test is 1-2 weeks since implantation which is 2-3 weeks post last menstrual period. Pretty much every other app or dr measures from your last menstrual period. So it's normal for those at home tests to be be 2 or 3 weeks behind your LMP weeks. Basically there's not much the dr can do except wait and see if your levels rise and if ultimately you'll get a confirmed heartbeat in a few weeks. Good luck!
