My first HCG levels

so figured i should be about 4 weeks 3 days today and the nurse just told me my HCG level yesterday (4wk2d) was 246....then she proceeded to say its low so we have to repeat the test on monday

i swear i could fall over...why would she say that to me...my last preg i was at 303 at 4 weeks...i think the number is good but now there's that little bit of doubt that crept in

Mine were 150 at 4w1d.  Hcg levels vary from women to women so she doesn't have anything to base that statement on.  The only way she can tell anything from that is if it isn't rising properly.  Don't listen to her and just take it day by day.

Im with Peek and sadiesmommy! Your numbers sound just fine, and its not really how low they are its if they are rising/doubling every 48-72 hours.... I am sure everything is just fine! Congrats!! and good Luck!

What matters is that is doubles every 48-72 hours not neccessarily where it starts from. Believe me some nurses are doom and gloom and some aren't I have had the experience of both. Hang in there and don't give up on it!! Congrats and enjoy!
