Low HCG levels early pregnancy

Want to know if there is any chance of a normal preg? Im on IVF treatment. 17 days post ovul HCG reading was 33. 19 dpo went up to 66. Had a blood this morn. (21 dpo) I get results this arvo (Sydney time). Nurses say that it is highly unlikely this will result in normal preg and its most probably ectopic.  Is there any chance at all?  If the HCG doubles again this arvo?  I am booked in for another blood and scan next week. I did have one light period day and a few days of spotting. I have morning sickness and sore breasts. This is my 5th IVF attempt. Any advice appreciated.
Cheers.

I am currently 6 weeks pregnant with my first. At 4 week n 5 days it registered on a home test and in the drs office. But less than a week latter I started spotting but usually only after I went to the bathroom ... I went to the er the same day and they said my hcg level was low. The very next day I went to the Dr and my hcg level was 13 ... however when I spotted I never cramped or had any pain. It only lasted about 3 days... I don't understand what's going on. Any help or advice ladies?!

I guess it looks like we're in about the same boat. I just took a pregnancy test yesterday morning, and it was positive. I was able to make a dr's appt. for just a few hours later & their urine test came back negative, so they did a blood test. Just got the call that it was what they called "low" positive with a 30 hcg reading. I'm not very hopeful as I've had 3 ectopics over the last 5 years. I also haven't had any bleeding yet but have had occasional cramping. Even though I've been through this before, the waiting game is just as stressful & emotional. I wish you the best of luck & wonder if you would keep me updated. I'll do the same. I think it would be helpful to have someone who's going through this to share with. Thanks. hkh2011

Hi Everyone!

I need some good news from people. I am on my 3rd cycle of IVF. The first resulted in an early miscarriage as my HCG number went from 95 on day one of testing to 55 on day 3. The second resulted in no pregnancy even though all the numbers were perfect. I am now on cycle 3 and it looked like everything was perfect! However, when I went for my pregnancy test yesterday my HCG number was only at 24. The doctor wants me to come in on Wed to find out if it has doubled. Does anyone have a positive thought about this? I am dying inside here!

Hi Cruzer,

I am in the same boat. This is my 5th Pregnancy. My 1st was Ectopic and the other 3 were miscarriages. At 16 DPO my HCG was 38, at 18 DPO my HCG was 55, They are thinking this is another Ectopic. I hope not...The Ectopic was worse than the miscarriages. I go for more bloodwork this Monday. Sending prayers your way. Let me know what happens.
