Nervous about doc's request.

This was my first IVF cycle, but I have done 8 IUI, with no positive HCG until now.  I had 9- 8 cell embryos. We transferred 2 on 6/11, and froze the rest.  I had some spotting on 6/19, very little pink color, and spotting 6/21 brownish color. My breasts have been pretty sore, but slowly decreasing in soreness. My abdominal area has been pretty full, almost like fluid retention (which I am assuming both are from the trigger shot) Yesterday was my 14 day post embryo transfer HCG, and it came back positive (150) The doc where I go, is 3 hours away, and so with there permission I went to a local lab to have my blood drawn, now he is asking that I repeat the test Monday at the same lab or go to his office this weekend.  Any thoughts on why he may want me to come in?  I really cannot find info on HCG numbers 14 day post 4 day embryo transfer. He is saying it's because the labs "values" are diffrent from one another, but of course I am worried, and just need to hear some similar experiences, or more solid word that everything is going good.  Thanks in advance.

Congrats! That's a good number. And like others said, the doc wants to see your number double. Totally normal. I took a second blood test two days later, too, to ensure HCG was where it should be.

You don't know how good that makes my feel.  I just feel so alone with these feelings, sometime the hubs doesn't get it :)
