HCG levels

[beckyrn78]

Hi, I am 4 5/7 weeks pregnant. I had a miscarriage in October and my last period was 1/9/08. I began having cramping yesterday and today off and on. I had an Beta HCG level done today. It was 303. According to my doctor, it is low and I am having it repeated on 2/10. From what I've read on the internet, it can be normal to cramp during pregnancy without bleeding. I have also seen that 303 could be normal also. I am just worried, especially with what happened in October. I also do have a daughter who is 2 1/2 and I had a perfectly normal pregnancy with her. Thankyou for any insight you might have.

Honestly I dont know a lot about hcg levels. But light cramping with no bleeding is normal in early pregnancy.  But what I have seen the ladies say for hcg levels yours dont seem low for as early as you are.... But since you just had a miscarriage in October your doc may just want to keep a closer eye on you. Good luck and try not to worry to much stress is not our friend!

I think that # is fine for a single pregnancy don't worry to much until you get the result from the other test.
