Just found out I'm pregnant after miscarriage... feeling anxious

Hi all,
I had a d&c in early dec 2015 after a missed miscarriage at 11.5 weeks. It took me awhile to get my period back, but I got it 3.5 weeks ago. Today I had a positive pregnancy test. I thought I hadn't even ovulated but I went in for blood work on Monday and had an HCG of 4 (am still waiting on progesterone levels). So I know my HCG was 4 on Monday afternoon, and today (Wednesday morning) my HCG was at least 25 because that's the sensitivity level of the test. I am still 4 days out from my expected period.
I am feeling excited but I am also really scared of having another miscarriage. I am hoping that my HCG levels are a good sign because they seem to be rising very quickly... does anyone know if that's a good sign? Last time my HCG levels did double in 48 hours and I miscarried anyways though. I guess I'm just looking for some hope and support and maybe even some advice on staying calm during this period.

I dont have advice, but I am in a similar situation. I miscarried July 2015 and just took two positive tests a few days ago. I dont see my doctor until early March and in the mean time the anxiety is overwhelming. Just know you are not alone! Sending positive thoughts your way!

RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

I really appreciate the info. I had some blood drawn about a month ago which confirmed an HCG of less than 1, then I had an HCG of 4 and something higher than that yesterday. So I feel pretty confident I'm pregnant but I'll keep an eye out. That's helpful information.
