What causes low hcg levels in early pregnancy?

Has anyone here ever found out they were pregnant with low HCG level between 6 and 24? How did the pregnancy go?

I am a little concerned. End of Feb, I tested negative for pregnancy. Yesterday I had blood test done and tested postive but with low HCG level of 14.5. If it does not double by tomorrow (48hrs), I may miscarry the baby.

Could it be that I am just really early?
Or should I prepare for the worse?

Well dont stress it for one thatll increase the chance of miscarriage.

I would ask about progesterone shots. They can help carry to term.

It could go either way…I hope you get good news :heart:

I always had crazy HCG levels . Try not to stress about it .

Try to stay calm lovely,stressing yourself out could make it harder on your body to maintain the pregnancy :heart: I hope you get good news :heart:

Idk what my levels were the dr was rude at the hospital and didn’t tell me but I got in a really bad car accident in December I was all beat up and the dr told me my hcg levels were extremely low and that was a bad thing they should be a lot higher and left the room I was 5 weeks at the time I am now 16 weeks stay Hopeful and don’t stress because of my accident I was on bed rest for a few weeks idk if that helped me

Your really early in your pregnancy. 2 out of 5 of my kids I found out at 7 to 10 days pregnant and that’s what my levels where

Those number do not mean that much I was told the same and now my son is 7 months

It could go either way unfortunately. I had low HCG and ended in a miscarriage.

Well that would mean your about 3-4 weeks pregnant an it’s very hard to tell because there’s not even a heartbeat yet.
If your score doesn’t go up by the next visit I’m sorry for your loss.
6 weeks is when you get about 1,000 hgc

With my second I had only had a home pregnancy test confirmed I was pregnant… I started cramping really bad and spotting so I went to the er… they did pee, blood, and ultrasound… pee said I was pregnant, ultrasound couldn’t find the baby, and blood came back as low levels… doctors told me to go home and prepare for a miscarriage… I cried and cried… a week later no miscarriage so I thought maybe it was a false pregnancy so I went to my obgyn and I was just over 3 weeks and 4days according to my obgyn… and he turned 10 on the 9th… I know it’s easier to say than do but don’t stress

You could just be really early. Don’t stress about it. Your numbers don’t really go up until around 6 weeks. As long as your not bleeding or cramping I wouldn’t worry

Probably just early. I found out really really early. My levels were 9.6 and two days later 28.9. The next say 41 5 and then again 2 days later 89.5 and 13 days later 9,972.0

I found out when my hcg was 12 and i miscarried the same day i found out at the hospital. But dont just to the worst conclusion until u see if it is going to double, good luck!

mine were really low at 9 when i first found out from the dr. they told me i would most likely miscarry. Had a full term delivery of a beautiful baby no issues.

Sounds like it’s just early. Try to take it easy till tomorrow. Good luck :sparkling_heart:

Mine were always low in the beginning. All 3 worked out just fine

I did so be careful and pray a lot

OP UPDATE :boom::boom::boom::boom:
Update. My HCG level has Increase to 22.4 from 14.7 within 48 hrs but still below 25. The doc hasnt called me yet. Just saw the results on my medical account. Does it mean its progressing?
