Pregnant! Numbers? What do they mean?

I just got a call from my OB's office with the results of yesterday's blood draw.

What do the numbers mean?

For reference, I am currently 12 dpo, blood draw was on 11 dpo.

HCG: 13

Progesterone: 8.9

I know the HCG is positive for pregnancy, but the PA acted like it didn't mean anything because it was "barely above negative".

The progesterone sounds low to me, but she said it was fine. I go back for a second draw Monday.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

the hcg is so low because you haven't missed af yet. it will double over the next few days, and if that continues that's all that matters. It means baby is growing!

Thank you! It's been a decade since I went through this last, so it's all new again!

My doc said anything above 5 is pregnant! Congratulations!!!!!! I went in Monday for my first beta test (12dpo) and my number was 42. My progesterone was 92. Today I went again (14dpo), exactly 48 hours later and beta was 72. Progesterone rose to 112.5. Hcg Didn't quite double, but the doctor is still hopeful since it should double every 48-72 hours.

Good luck!!
