I was told that any level above 5 was pregnant.... but.... if it isn't doubling every two days or so than that should mean somehting isn't right. They want to see it much higher. I am surprised they aren't going to do the test again in say a week to see if it is getting higher or lower! I would want that done I think. It doesn't seem that if you aren't pregnant that that is normal though. I would think there is something else going on to get that number and they should be checking into other problems. I would keep asking and making them check into things!

I would get a second blood test done in 3 days to see if the level if doubling or not.

While 16 is technically pregnant, if the number doesn't double, or falls, it could be a chemical pg, blighted ovum or early miscarriage.

Good Luck. I hope you get to see the numbers rise.
