Low hCG levels?

By way of background, I miscarried in April and am now 7w3d.  My hCG and progesterone levels are low.  At 6w, hCG was 2,352 and progesterone was 7.60 (which was down from the previous blood draw of 12.58).  We heard a heartbeat, baby measured at 6w1d, and my doctor put me on Crinone for two weeks.  Went in for blood work at 7w and hCG did not double and is only 4,800, but progesterone increased to 10.  I go in for an ultrasound tomorrow and am trying to be cautiously optimistic!  Has this ever happened to anyone with low blood work, but healthy baby?

    I'm sorry you are going through something so stressful. I highly recommend you not look for success stories because it could be a bigger blow if things aren't okay. I did that back in March and convinced myself I would be okay too and when I wasn't, I was so much more sad. I do genuinely send you T&P's as you figure out what is going on.

    This is what I was thinking when I first read the post but was afraid I wouldn't be able to word it properly since I haven't experienced this kind of thing myself.

    Thinking of you OP. Good luck
