View Profile | E-Mail | Slow rising hcg??? « on: 04/03/08, 21:32 » | Reply with quote I went in on Monday for my first set of numbers.  I have had two miscarriages since July so they are watching me closely.  My first set at 16dpo was 237, on Wed at 18dpo my numbers were 327.  The nurse is saying that these two blood draws were sent to two different labs so they are checking my numbers again on Friday, is there any truth to her stating that two different labs could come up with different numbers?  And should I worry about my numbers?  I am on prometrium 100mg capsules, inserted vaginally twice a day.  They did bloodwork after my 2nd miscarriage and did not find anything wrong there.  When I saw my first set of numbers I thought that they were high for 16dpo, but then the 18 came back and I was dissapointed.

Good luck. Report to moderator   Logged shepgal Newbie Offline Posts: 2 I'm a llama!
