I should be 5+5. My symptoms are still strong. The nausea, peeing tons, exhausted, emotional, tender breasts...the works. But I'm still getting bfn on hpt. With my daughter I was nearly 11 weeks before I got a bfp with hpt and 9weeks for a blood test. With my ectopic I had a bfp at 5+1. I've also had 3 miscarriages. No doctor here will see me before 8 weeks (basically at least 3 days after second missed af). I'm still doing everything I'm supposed to. Taking a prenatal vitamin and no ibuprofen, aspirin, limited caffeine, everything right. Has anyone else had issues with low hcg levels? Or am I all alone here?

You should be seen early with having a history of ectopic. I would call the doctor and insist on being seen since  you're at high risk for ectopic.

I'm 37, in my first pregnancy.  My hcg levels didn't double every 2 days like my Dr wanted, and we're considered very slow. I'm now 17 weeks with a so-far normal pregnancy.  I research the crap out of everything, and have basically found out that 1 in 4 normal pregnancies have slow to rise hcg levels

I should also mention that at the time I should have had my last af, I had light spotting that was brown with a bit of pink, the pink was only a few hours and the brown lasted less than 4 days and my normal af is 6-8 days long and heavy except for around day 5 where it slows to a near stop and then starts again.
