darling please maybe you can go to another place to get your blood drawn and ask to find out the hcg level?
here:
An hCG level below 5 mIU/ml is considered "not pregnant"
An hCG level above 25 mIU/ml is considered "pregnant".
An hCG level between 5-25 mIU/ml requires a follow-up test to confirm what it could be.
At hCG levels in early pregnancy below 1,200 mIU/ml the hCG usually doubles every 48-72 hours and it should normally increase by at least 60% every two days.
Between 1,200 and 6,000 mIU/ml serum hCG levels in early pregnancy, the hCG usually takes 72-96 hours to double
Above 6,000 mIU/ml, the hCG often takes over four or more days to double.
After 9-10 weeks of the pregnancy hCG levels normally decrease

The nurse who took care of the paper said it was too soon when I requested them to check for it  . So they schedule an appointment for the doc on the 17 and my ultrasound won't be till January 21

too soon to find out the hcg levels? that is funny...hcg is a hormone that is found only when you are pregnant, not pregnant women don't have it, rather they have less then 5.0 of it in their blood. once a woman is pregnant her hcg levels are going up, depends how many weeks pregnant she is ! the higher the number the bigger the fetus....i don't know who is feeding you this info...
