Low rising hcg?

found out I was pregnant the 19th…got a blood test done the 22nd and my HCG was only 16.1. my doctor was concerned due to it being so low and I had been spotting brown days prior(I had what I thought was my period from the 14th-19th). She sent me for additional blood work today and today my levels were only 16.8. :frowning:
she’s sending me for blood work on Saturday to continue to monitor, but I’m scared…
has anyone had experience with low & slow progressing HCG? I know it’s grounds for either a miscarriage or ectopic and I’m just terrified…
any advice would be great to hear.
thanks so much in advance…
