Low HcG levels :(

Hi all,
I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and been having cramping pains for 3w. Dr thought I could be ectopic and sent me for a scan. Scan showed tiny possibility but too early to tell if viable and also showed a cyst on my ovary.
I had bloods taken for HcG on Tuesday and again today, and they've not doubled like they should have. I have to go back for another blood test on Saturday.
No one is telling me what any possible outcomes for this are other than its still possible I'm ectopic.
This is my first baby, am I likely to miscarry or is it possible to go full term with a healthy baby with low HcG? Is there anything I can do to boost the levels or is it a case of what will be will be?
Please help, feeling so down at the moment :'(

Hi. I had an ovarian cyst rupture at 4 weeks pregnant my hcg levels were very low only 270 and then 48 hours later only reached 450 I still have another cyst on my ovary that hasn't ruptured. I'm now 30 weeks pregnant so I didn't lose my baby through it all it took a while for things to settle and I have quite a bit of pain now that I'm near the end because of the cyst but nothing to sore iyswim. The consultant kept asking me was I bleeding and to prepare myself for the worst as my whole pelvis was full of fluid from the cyst. I've had 4 miscarriages before this one so was pretty number and was expecting to miscarry if I'm honest but she hung in there. Low hcg doesn't always mean a miscarriage is inevitable.

I will advise you to make sure that with whatever outcome they give you that they are 100% as they originally sent me for surgery to remove my baby as she was ectopic when she wasn't it was a cyst. I would tell you to look back through my thread from March as I wrote about it when I was in hospital(for 5days) going through it but probably impossible to find.

I hope you get a good outcome like mine good luck xx
