Really Low HCG / Small Sac / 6 weeks along

by n8sprncess, Mar 28, 2008 11:21AM
Hi Ladies,

   I am new to this site. I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago. I took three test. Strong symptoms. So last week I went to the Dr because I was sick (sore throat ex.) My last period was on 2/12/08 with a 32 day cycle. That puts me right about 6 weeks. Last Fri my HCG was only 161, ultrasound showed NOTHING! Monday HCG was only 211. I went to the Dr yesterday and had anther Ultrasound and a Small sac I mean could hardly see it (tilted uterus) on the screen it was the size of a dime. Had more blood work and am anxious waiting. The Dr said he is not optimistic.....I am so sacred. He said I should have been in the thousands. I am 100% of my period date because I track them on mymonthlycycles.com. Has anyone gone through this? I still fell pregnant, no bleeding. Thanks.

Are you sure you are right about your dates? Maybe you ovulated later. If that is the case - then it is too early to tell. However, if your dates are wrong then those HCG levels are low. The only way to tell for sure is to repeat the ultrasound next week or so. I did experience the same thing last year and I did miscarry. I sure wish you the best of luck and I know the waiting is hard.

I have been going through the same thing since 3/03/08.  My hcg levels are also low and slow rising, and I am 100% sure of the date of my LMP (2/06/08).  I have been told that I might have ovulated late in my cycle, etc., etc.  Every other time I go for a blood test or ultrasound, I get a different story.

One thing that I have learned from medhelp: Don't make too much of hcg numbers!

I think we'll both just have to wait and see what happens week by week!  Waiting is the hardest part right now, and not knowing the outcome is agonizing!  I certainly sympathize with you, and I wish you the best of luck!

Hello,
I was worried about my hCG levels and found this article to be very informative. I hope it helps!
