Low hcg levels
I went to the ER tonight because I was getting sharp pain on my left side under my rib cage. I am 11 wks and was worrying because this is when I miscarried the last two times. Well they did blood tests and my hcg level 12,386. I am worrying now because that is low for these weeks. They did not find anything else except slight blood traces in my urine which could indicate s kidney stone related to the pain I felt all day. They do not check for them in pregnancy though since it is with CT and xRays. They did an u/s but could not see everything because my bowel was in the way and have to wait for u/s department to open tomorrow to get better u/s.
Has anyone else had low hcg levels but everything be ok?

I never did reply back.
It did end up being my 3rd miscarriage this past year and a half in the end, but it was a missed miscarriage as my pregnancy and the baby were only a week apart and the baby passed at 8weeks 2 days. 1 week exactly after we saw the heartbeat. (So I was 9 weeks 2 days when it happened). Had to have a D&C again with this one.
They are hoping this is all due to a septum and we will be dealing with this in October when it is 4 months after the miscarriage. I am on BC this time to keep from getting pregnant so this can be dealt with.
The doctors were able to get us the u/s though from when we saw the heartbeat so that has helped and we have named all of our babies now.

Hey hun have you ever asked your doctors to check your progestrone level while your pregnant. You may need progestrone to substain a pregnancy. II hope your doing great.
@PetiteWonder: thanks for your reply. We took an early US at 7-8 weeks due to 2 previous miscarriages (oct of 2009 and nov of 2010) and I was 8weeks and the baby was 7weeks in growth with a heartbeat of 163bpm this was done on may5th 2011 the hcg levels was done April 26th and was at 37,672. I'm still hoping this is not another Miscarage.
That definitely seem very low for 11 weeks but perhaps there is a chance that you may be less far along than you think... There have been people on here very convinced that they knew when they conceived and ended up measuring a couple weeks back..
Good luck on your next ultrasound it is really scary... I am so sorry that things are going like this for you.
My HCG levels were around 5000 when I had my blighted ovum. I was told they expected them to be in the 100,000 range
