What does your Dr say? It does seem kinda low but hang in there.....they can shoot up. One just never knows what can happen.
We are all praying for you!!!

Hi. I think your levels sound perfect! They  have to start somewhere! :) I've also heard they need to double every 48 hours, but everything i've read actually says they need to double every 48-72 hours. Also, your levels are higher than what mine were. Mine was 86 at 13dpo (almost 4 weeks pregnant). Then at 15 dpo were 311. My daughter is now 4 months old! :) Will they check your levels again?

I found this for you. I hope it helps but the ultrasound will explain what is going on.
Good luck:)

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml
* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman’s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

What is your doctor saying? I've never been pregnant (yet), but from what I hear it needs to be doubling every 48 hours for it to be a viable pregnancy. But it is rising, right, so that's good! I guess they'll keep testing and time will tell. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)
