Hi rachida, try not to get too worried on numbers, I never even saw mine written down but they told me it was 24 million to start with. I thought it was 24 thousand ☺they say that number can vary alot and go up and down. The only time it really matters is when they cannot detect any viral load as that means you are clear. some have hundreds of millions. Some thousand's. Hope this helps your concern 😍😍
