HCG levels low but doubling.

Jlmahon2470 · December 2016

Hi, my husband and I have been TTC for almost two years now and even though I can get pregnant I've been having trouble getting them to stick. As of now I've had a chemical pregnancy, a miscarriage where there was a baby with a heartbeat, a complete molar pregnancy and another chemical after that. I recently got a positive pregnancy test on the 29th of November, two days later I started to bleed, like a normal period. I assumed it was another chemical but got in touch with my OB anyway who sent me for blood work to make sure my levels were going down. I went on the 1st and later got the report that my HCG was 33 which is extremely low. The next day I took an hpt to see if the line had disappeared but to my surprise it had gotten darker, darker than when I first took the test. Well today I redone my blood work and my HCG level had risen to an 84. It had doubled as it was supposed to but was still extremely low for how far along I thought I should be (4 wks and 5 days.) If this was a chemical pregnancy shouldn't my numbers have dropped by now instead of going up? Is it possible I ovulated later than I thought and am not quiet as far along? I took an hpt on the 24th of November which was 10 dpo and it was a BFN. I'm still worried about the bleeding though as it was like a regular period. I guess what I'm asking is, what are the chances this will be a viable pregnancy and has anyone else had experience with this and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?

This might be a more appropriate question for the pregnant after IF board. Most of us have never had a healthy pregnancy so we aren't the best people suited to answering your question. You should as your doctor instead.
