Low slow rising levels

My hcg levels have been slowly rising since last Monday. They started at 67, up to 87 Wednesday with a progesterone of 2.5. My OB's nurse told me, over the phone, it was not viable and that I would start to miscarry soon. I spoke with another OB that told me to continue checking my levels. Friday hcg was 139, I was told to get them checked again this week, and that I might just be earlier than I thought. I started cramping and bleeding Sunday. I was told to get my levels checked  to see if they were going down. Monday they were in the 300s. I am still cramping and bleeding (like a period) my breasts are still pretty tender/growing, they have been for a few weeks now. I am supposed to get my levels checked again tomorrow. I asked about an ultrasound, but was told it would not show anything because the levels are so low. What is going on?
