How long does it take...

for your doctor to get back to you with your HCG levels? I went to the hospital Sunday and they were at 48 and then my doctor sent me yesterday to check again (probably to calm me down because I was freaking out) and said I should get them back today. But when I called today that still hadn't received them....

Got my levels back today! On 1/31 they were at 48 and on 2/3 they were at 223. Estimated doubling time is 30 hours! I think this is good news!

It may depend on the Dr. and/or the lab.  I got both of my beta results back within about 2-3 hours.  The lab is in the hospital, same hospital as my dr. is in.  That may be why it went so quickly.  I hear that most people get them back within the day.  

I know the last time I went to a separate lab and my dr. was just in an office, it did take over night for them to get back to me with results.

Good luck!
