Low hCG?

in 1st Trimester
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?

    At a certain point it starts slowing down considerably, so hopefully everything is fine. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! Good luck

    I went in for blood work at 6 weeks 6 days and my HCG was at 61,500 (albeit this number is high)
    I went back in at 7 weeks 2 days and it had barely risen.

    I had an US and the babys heartbeat was 137 bpm and the Dr said there is nothing to worry about. After you get past a certain level it doesn't always double and takes a lot longer to double.

    They also said that ultrasound TRUMPS bloodwork. Your baby has a heartbeat and all you need to do is pray.
