Stressing over my levels
First pregnancy where my hcg has been checked and I’m stressing about it.
I have PCOS and my periods are irregular. This cycle I got an LH surge 3 days (May 26,27,28) in a row and then quit checking. Had intercourse on the 29th.
Got a positive pregnancy test on 6/11. Had bloodwork done 6/12 to confirm and hcg was a 30. Had bloodwork again 6/14 and it was 65. Nervous because I’m happy it doubled- but it’s so “low” compared to a lot of women on here.
Any insight? Maybe I implanted later? Maybe I had an LH surge longer than I thought? (Common in PCOS). Maybe higher bmi makes the hcg levels a little lower like in some other bloodwork?
I’m just stressed because it seems low. I don’t know the exact day I ovulated but it’s within that window.
I don’t wanna be worried because according to the LabCorp chart im still within the threshold for 3-4 weeks. My first scan is next Friday and no bloodwork in between.
Any insight or experience with lower levels?
