Help! Low HCG and high testosterone

Morning all,

I got my first positive pregnancy test a week ago at home (clear blue) and since went on to have lots of positive results both on strips and on clear blue saying 1-2. Had two appointments at the doctors last week and both came out Negative so she booked me for bloods.
I got the results of my blood test last night and got really upset over the phone even though she said it's nothing to worry about yet.
I ovulated on 31st December 2019. My hcg level has come back as being 60 which the nurse said was the lowest she had ever seen. She then went on to say my progesterone and testosterone was ridiculously high and that I must be feeling very nauseous and angry!! (Yes to the nauseous and no to the anger.. just worried sick!)
I have been booked in for another blood test this Tuesday to see if the levels have risen. I am concerned that it is so low. My friend who is very knowledgeable in this department said she felt it probably was bad news and that I would be having a miscarriage shortly (although the nurses couldn't say this to me). Would rather I knew what the outcome was than hearing 'don't worry at this point!'.
Any one else had low hcg and gone on to have a full term healthy baby??

The 1-2 weeks doesn’t start showing til at least 25 I don’t think, so I think unless you did that a couple of days before the bloods it’s unlikely doubling properly , so sorry (but I might be wrong).
