what does beta number mean?
I just got a  !!! I went in today for my first blood test. When they called with the results, I asked what my numbers were and was told that the pregnancy hormone was 76. I asked if that was good/normal and she told me that anything over 5 indicated a positive, but there was no normal range. Is that correct? Basically she said that they want to make sure that the numbers rise so I have another blood test in a few days. Any idea if the number is good or not?
Thanks!
