Hi everyone, I confirmed a pregnancy on a clearblue digital 5 days ago which came up 1-2 weeks. I then started light pink spotting and very mild cramping and panicked so took another digital which came back 2-3 weeks. I carried on spotting and cramping, usually the same time everyday in work. It got slightly redder in colour so I made a drs appointment since I've had a chemical pregnancy before. Dr sent me to hospital for tests. Exam and swabs was fine but my hcg came back at a low 102 when I am supposed to be 5 and a half weeks pregnant. I actually had blood tests done at my drs for fertility related checks 6 days before and Dr had said my levels that day were only 7. So my levels more than doubled in 6 days but they are still so low. I'm going back Monday for repeat tests but I'm terrified this is another chemical. Dr didnt seem overly concerned, told me to stay positive. She said I could be earlier than I thought but I used OPK's so I feel like my levels should definitely be higher. Any success stories out there? Or am I facing an inevitable miscarriage? Tests aren't really getting lighter or darker at the moment but I feel like my symptoms are stronger today.

Hi, whilst yes they are on the lower side, you might now be as far as you think. They're the right level for 5 weeks.

My levels were always on the lower side. At 5 weeks with my first, my level was 45, he's now an 8 year old.
My second, at 5 weeks were 23. She's now a 3 year old.

I actually had higher hcg levels with my miscarriages.
The important thing is that they're increasing, regardless of the number.
Which will be why your doctor isn't concerned

Thank you for replying. I hope so. I've just done another week predictor clearblue digital and the weeks have gone back down to 1-2 so I'm not feeling the most confident, I feel like it's another early loss but I'll see what my blood tests say Monday 😔 xx
