The lowest I've known an hcg to render a positive reading was at a 7. That info was taken from peeon astick . com. Generally, anything above 5 is considered pregnant. Nothing will show on an ultrasound until your hcg is in the thousands. At this point, it really could go either way. I would do a follow up beta test with your ob/midwife as the numbers should be doubling every 48 hours. As long as they're rising, you should be okay.
I'm sorry I can't be of much more help. My first hcg draw at 4 weeks pregnant was 199. You can't really go off of numbers either, you just have to be sure that they are rising. Good luck, keep us posted!
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this morning i started bleeding. I am now waiting for my doctor to call back so I can go in and be checked out.
Oh no! I'm so sorry this is happening to you! I bled nearly all of my first trimester due to low progesterone. I started on supplements and eventually the bleeding cleared up. My dd is now almost 8 months old.
I really hope that it turns out positive for you, but my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Anytime you have bleeding in pregnancy, there is a 50% chance miscarriage.
Good luck, let me know how it goes. I'm praying for you!
