IVF - HCG levels low

I couldn't find a recent thread talking about this so starting a new one.
Just had an IVF cycle; am 13dp3dt. Went for bloods today. HCG levels is 46.4. clinic said it's too low. They were expecting at least 100. Asked me to visit EPAU tomorrow. But no EPUs taking walk-ins due to COVID. Will sort that out tomorrow.
Is there any glimmer of hope? Any success stories for such a low HCG that resulted in full term?
Thanks!

I'm surprised they asked you to visit an EPU - as there isn't anything they can do and they wouldn't be able to see anything? Its quite unethical of them actually to say go there to when they should be the ones doing some extra blood tests to monitor hcg levels. EPU won't see you until at least 6 weeks and you have to be bleeding or history of ectopics to be seen at the moment. I'd push your clinic for an additional blood test x

@ivfbeenbusy - I think the reason they asked to go to epu was because I haven been having some cramps since past 4-5 days. They are mild cramps, stay for 10-15 mins, then go away. Then come back few hours later. So they suggested epu. Else they were going to recommend blood test after 48 hours
