AnswerHi Adrian ..
Your levels are a little low. However, they are doubling, and thats exactly what the levels are susposed to be doing.
Low levels, can be indication of a pending miscarriage. However, those levels could come to a normal range on their own. Time will tell.
Myself, with my daughter had very low levels. Infact, they told me I miscarried her because they couldnt find her. But, my levels did slowly rise, and double. 2 weeks later, they found her on the sonogram, and I remained pregnant for the full 9 months.
Time will tell what is going to happen. In the mean time, do some preventative measures. No lifting anything over 5 pounds. Limit sexual activity. No excessive exercise. When sitting, elevate you feet ..as well when you go to sleep. And of course, take your prenatel vitamins.
You are not complaining of discomfort, or bleeding so this is a good sign. Take good care of yourself, because your pregnancy is young and fragile.
Remember low HCG levels, doesnt always mean miscarriage ..However, if you start to cramp and bleed heavily, then seek medical attention immediately for evaluation.
Hope this is of some help, and good luck :) If there is anything more I can help you with, please dont hesitate to write back :)
