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.

To answer the question having a normal pregnancy after having an ectopic pregnancy. I experienced an ectopic pregnancy back in 09, but I never knew I was pregnant. When I arrived to the hospital, the doctors saw a fetus in my left tube. I was internally bleeding, and the tube had ruptured. It had to be removed along with the attached fetus. I had emergency surgery.... I was told that it would be unlikely for me to conceive again. In 09, a gave birth to my beautiful daughter, and 4 months later I found out I was pregnant again. My Handsome son was born in 2011. Shortly after giving birth I had the Paragard IUD inserted. One month ago I found out I was pregnant again, but We cannot locate the baby, and my HCG levels are slightly going up. The doctors removed the IUD 2 weeks ago, and I have been lightly bleeding since then. THe doctors believe I am having another ectopic pregnancy. I am beginning to show the signs, and symptoms. Allow God to guide you in the loss you may, or may not be experiencing. I refused to allow them to "treat" my pregnancy. I have 3 children already, so I am going to put my situation in Gods hands because I know he will protect me.

Well I am knew to all this, it has  been 10 years since I had my last child. I never remember  it being so stressful. After my third  child I had  a tubal done. I was sterile for 10 years. I divorced  and got remarried. My current husband never having children, we decided to get my tubes reversed  and try for a baby. 6 months after my surgery I took a HPT and it showed positive. A urine/blood test at the doctors office also confirmed this. I had an HCG  level done and 17dpo and it was 154. I have no idea  if this is normal or low. Who knows. I am not scheduled to have any more blood work done, but go  in for an ultrasound in a week to see if this is a normal pregnancy or ectopic. I was advised it may possibly be ectopic because of 3 prio C-sections, a tubal and then a reversal. UGH...so discouraged!!! the waiting part it the worst!!

I am so sorry everyone is going through these tough times. I also am going through a tough time. I have 3 beautiful children and miscarried on Jan 08 2012. I have been going to the doctor weekly to get my hcg levels checked. When I went to the ER and he  said I had a threatened miscarriage I was 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My levels were 41...Last week I had my levels checked and they are 106...If I miscarried, why are they rising instead of dropping? I had a lot of blood like a heavy period and passing clots. But that stopped and still my hcg levels are rising. I go tomorrow for a checkup with the doctor so hopefully I find out some answers, this waiting is stressing me out! Its all I think about. Is there anyone that has experienced this before??? Thanks
