HCG blood result

Well I'm now on day 30 of my cycle. I still haven't got af. I have tested this morning, plus 3 previous days lol...and all been negative.
I got a blood test this morning and the result just came back at 52. I know this means positive. But the pathlab lady just said that means about a week pregnant! My LMP was 17th April. And on 7th may bloods said I had ovulated. But doing by when I know we BD'd, a week doesnt seem right.
I go this blood test today by myself, meaning a doctor did not do me a script.
What do you think I should do? 52 is too low isn't it? Should I go see the doctor?

Maybe go to the doctor? Or is it possible you just ovulated late this cycle and are actually just super early in your pregnancy.

I think the "about" is pretty accurate - I wouldn't worry about it! You would be under 2 weeks, so long as the levels double every 48-72 hours everything is fine! The ammount is not as important.

Congrats btw And GOOD LUCK! With any tests.

dont let the levels do your head in. as long as they double up it doesnt matter what the actual level is adn remember, heaps of doctors dont even worry about doing the hcg level test.
good luck

Good luck Nefertiti! That level is perfect for 13dpo, mine with this bub was 37 (I think?) at 15dpo.

lol nefertiti. I dont know the answer but just wanted to say good luck! I hope its a BFP for you!

melnel- mine 968 (15DPO)and just one bub as you say there is a massive range of normal its the doubling that counts..!

Yay well done Nerefiti- sounds like a BFP to me!

Mine was around 70 at 14dpo. Semen can last for up to 5 days. Any idea when you actually ovulated. Are your cycles regular, and if so, how long are they usually?

A single number by itself doesn't actually mean much. What's more important is the doubling time. I'd ask for another blood test just to check that hcg levels are doubling normally.

'A week pregnant' doesn't make sense. Generally women are on average around 4 weeks pregnant when they get a positive test. If she meant 7dpo, then that doesn't make a great deal of sense either as that is generally the earliest that implantation occurs and those numbers are high for 7dpo.

You might find this chart useful. It has average hcg levels as well as what the normal range is for the number of dpo. You look like you fall within normal ranges.
