Going crazy ! Waiting to here to see if hcg levels have increased trying to use hpt to as a indicator

[country1975]

I feel psycho,but I cannot help it.  I had a blood test on Monday (19dpo) and I was @ 150.    After i got off of the phone with the nurse i just began crying b/c she said that was very low and possilby a sign of miscarriage. Needless to say I have been a complete basket case.   I went and had another blood test today and waiting for results tomorrow.  SO I went and bought a hpt to see if the line got any darker ( I used the Wallgreens cassette test b/c it requires a higher level that early response etc)  The line is not any darker than the one i took on Sunday .   Is this a bad sign  ?

really the darker the line doesnt really have an absolute answer..only your blood test will tell for sure..how far along are you?

First test was the day of my espected period.  The other one was a week after..
With my 1st baby, i got an 85 3 days after i had to get my period.  3 days after i got a 98, we thought I was going to loose her, then a week after, my levels were 595.
She's now 3 years old, healthy and doing great!
