Not exactly sure where you should be but it should be in the hundreds at least. Are they running the test stat so you can get the results on Thursday or are they making you wait until Friday or so for results? How many days are you post retrievel (I've forgotten)? I think your numbers should be higher, but the only real thing to do now is wait for tomorrow's results. Praying for a good increase. Hang in there.
