All I can tell you is that I was in a similar situation.  My doc told me that low levels don't show that your are definatetly going to miscarry.  The numbers are supposed to double every 30-48 hrs.  That's why they want you to have the test every two days.  If you're concerned about it, ask your doctor to explain it to you in layman's terms and to tell you if they're concerned!  Will be praying for you!!!

mine only went up 20% in two days and I have a perfectly healthy baby boy.  Wait until your u/s at 7 weeks to see a heartbeat.  That will give you your answer.  HCG levels generally are supposed to double in 2-3 days but it doesnt happen for everyone.  Plenty of people have come to this site with the same situation and have had healthy pregnancies.  Good Luck.
