1st Trimester

Spotting-Low HCG

I’m just about 6 weeks...had some spotting (only when I would wipe) on Tuesday and went in to see the doctor, they took blood and said my hcg is low at 731... No spotting since and no severe cramping, heading back in to get my hcg levels checked today... Doctor seemed pretty pessimistic about it and keeps talking miscarriage 😞 Just looking for support or anyone that has experienced something similar!

Re: Spotting-Low HCG

  • If you're 100% positive that you are 6 weeks (as in you know EXACTLY when you ovulated because you were temping), then 731 at this point is pretty low.  However, the only way to really know is to see if the numbers double every 48 hours.  I don't understand why the took your hcg levels on Tuesday and are only sending you back for HCG levels again today, as that's 72 hours and not 48 hours. However, at this point all you can do is wait.  If the number more than doubles or is close to doubling, you're still on the right track.  If it drops, then I'm sorry but you're probably having a MC.

    Many woman have spotting with no issues.  I'm not one of those, as all my experiences have spotting and low HCG levels leading to MC.
