Sorry I have no idea what mine was but can you ask your GP? They should be able to explain whether to be concerned

xkatxdollx If it is within the normal range, try not to worry. Thanks

Have you been referred to a specialist? After 3 losses or more, you should be referred to a consultant during pregnancy or (not for you as you are pregnant) tests and checks for the reason when not pregnant.

Low HCG does not cause miscarriage it is a symptom of potential issues (e.g sticky blood needing aspirin daily). A hospital consultant will be able to advise you far more quickly. I would call your local EPU and explain!

Useful books for pregnancy after miscarriage are 'Miscarriage' by Lesley Regan and 'Coming To Term' by Jon Cohen. They explain what the bloods etc' can mean.

All I know is that at week 6 I did a CB digi and got "pregnant 2-3 weeks" which means my hcg was between 200 and 2000, I think (all going well so far at 10 weeks). From what I've read online when obsessively googling during the early weeks, I would actually say your reading is fairly high for that time rather than low. Good luck with it all xxx

ya I've been to a specialist I didn't finish all my tests tho because I wanted to take a break from trying and thinking of anything baby related and then I got pregnant again. the wait is killing me the most because I won't know my doubling time for so long, I just have this one number that means nothing until I get the other number it's just driving me insane! it just scares me more because my doc used to make me go for blood once then two days after I'd go again and I feel like he knows my number should be higher and is giving me a week to hopefully double
