EXTREMELY LOW HCG!!! Help!

So I found I was pregnant with my first a few days before my missed period. On cycle day 27 I went in to the doc and my hcg was only a 9!!! She had me go in two days later and went up to a 23. She didn't schedule me for another beta until another 2 weeks. Anyone have this experience or know of anyone that had very low numbers and still had a healthy pregnancy? I feel fine. I am now two days past my period due date. Mild cramping occasionally. Slightly sore breasts. Mild nausea on and off and extremely tired. I am so scared!!! It's our first and we are so excited!! I pray to God it sticks!!!!

    Do you know approximately when you ovulated?  How many DPO were you when you had the first HCG level done?

    ETA:  It is most important that the number doubles, not what the number is.  Yours did, so that is a good sign.  That said, I had super low betas during my first IVF and it ended in a chemical pregnancy.  I know another woman who had betas like mine that had her baby girl last week.

  • I was 12 DPO at hcg 9 and 23 at 14 DPO.
  • Your betas more than doubled. That is all that matters. They all have to start somewhere. :)

  • Thank you!! I have heard that the number doesn't matter as much as it doubling so I guess you're right!! :-)
  • Anyone else have this happen recently?? My next beta isn't for another 2 weeks :-/

    They are probably happy that the number doubled so don't feel the need to test again until 2 weeks from now.  I had a beta done at 13DPO and again today at 15DPO and won't have another one at all because they were happy the number more than doubled.

  • My first hcg was also 9! My second one was 3 days later an it was 35. Just got it checked this week and it was over 4000! Like PP said, it has to start somewhere! :)
    I give up on trying to make a ticker.... this new bump format is for the birds...
    I'm due May 9th
  • My first was 18 and second was 181. Still climbing and saw pole on u\s at 5.5 weeks.
  • @EMurphree: The fact that you started off like me gives me so much hope!

    Thank you all!! You have all made me feel so much better!! :-)
