Am I pregnant w/ low-positve?

by Andisprout, Jul 02, 2008 09:09AM
Hi All,

Yesterday, Day 12 post-transfer I went in for a pregnancy test.  I was convinced I was not pregnant because I had some cramping and bleeding.  I thought for sure I had started my period since the cramping started on day 10 post transfer.

Yesterday, the office called and said I had a low-positive.  36 HCG.  They told me to be "cautiously optimistic".  

What the heck does this mean?  My family has been calling for results and I told them the test was inconclusive because it sounds like it could go either way at this point.

I would love some advice and reassurance.

Anyone?

Unfortunately, there is no way to know for sure what's going on till you re-test.  If your hcg doubles every other day then you are OK.  If it goes down, you probably have a chemical pregnancy.  If your hcg goes up but does not double, you have to be monitored for ectopic.

I hope your # is way up!
