Just thought I would thank everyone for all your "ears" and your good vibes. I got my levels back on late Thursday and they are at 1100 at 4 weeks and 4 days. They are going to take them again on monday but, my guess is so far so good. Thanks everyone!! :throb

That level is well within normal range for a healthy pregnancy.
Another quote for you :) :

Normal HCG blood levels vary widely between different women and in different pregnancies for the same woman. Be very careful when trying to 'interpret the numbers'. During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, the level itself is NOT as important in how much it is rising every few days. Some normal pregnancies will have quite low HCG levels and still progress, ending in the birth of a healthy baby. The best way to confirm if a pregnancy is progressing is to repeat the blood test in 2 to 3 days time, and perhaps again 2 to 3 days after that. This is aimed at seeing if the HCG level is rising adequately.

They want it to approximately double every 2-3 days at this early stage.

And here's a link (http://www.birth.com.au/class.asp?class=6620&page=8) to a hcg level chart (it's toward the bottom of the page).

I'm glad to hear things are going well. I know one set of numbers doesn't give you a definite answer, but at least it wasn't in the single digits or something like that. ;)

As for listening...that's what we're here for!

Good luck this weekend, mama, and let us know how everything goes Monday.
