still unsure now...

hey ladies,

this morning I finally got the results of my blood test after all those vague tests.
the HCG level was 7, and I was told "Congratulations, you're pregnant!" which fits perfectly with a very early pregnancy. (had blood drawn on 10 dpo, today is 11 dpo)
we've been super happy all day! but now I've been googling my level tonight and I'm starting to feel unsure. if I believe those charts and stories, it's really quite low. according to the midwife, another blood test wasn't necessary. I just had to enjoy my pregnancy.
what do you guys think?

    Somewhere I think the midwife will know better and what she says will probably be correct. But I also find 7 quite low it could be though, because above 5 you're pregnant, but I've never seen it myself. My value was 157 and it was also very early (calculated from the first ultrasound I had, at the time of the blood test I was about 3 weeks pregnant). Maybe do another pregnancy test in a few days and see if the line gets darker? I see a faint line on your profile picture.

    Yeah, I think I'll do that too, indeed. The blood test was two days ago, so it should have doubled by now, I guess. So I'll take a test today.

    Good luck!

    Could you guys take a quick look? The top one is a regular test that starts detecting from 25 mIU, and the bottom one is an early detection test that should pick it up from 10 mIU. The funny thing is, I already got a faint positive on the early test at 10 dpo with a value of 7. Today would be 12 dpo. Has the line gotten darker?

    The bottom one is definitely darker than your first test I think you can safely assume you're pregnant!

    Thank you for looking! I think I'll indeed see it too. I think I'll just let it go and wait and see
