Please help!! My nurse case manager told me my HCG levels were weird.

So, my last period was July 9 2016, I ovulated July 25 2016 and my period was supposed to start Aug 11 (today) However, I got my first positive pregnancy test just this last Saturday (YAY). I went to the hospital so they could confirm it (they decided to do a quantitive HCG). My HCG levels were at 267 (yesterday) and the nurse called me and told me they were weird -he then later told me the doc though they were low- and they wanted me to come in on Monday to get another quantitive. I am so worries, and I don't want to be, but should I be worried?  I miscarried in October and I am so scared to death to have another miscarriage. What do you think?

Ya, I agree that it was unprofessional. If that was your first HCG test, they'll need to wait 48 hours to retest to see if your levels have doubled. If they're only slowly rising or not rising then it would be "weird" or abnormal. But for your first blood test after just finding out you are pregnant it's definitely too soon to tell. Please keep us posted!!

To say on the phone your results are weird is very unprofessional! Try to relax and stay calm as stressing out is not good for yourself or the baby. It could be something or absolutely nothing hope it all goes well for you though x
