low HCG levels

Hi everyone!  I'm new to this but here goes.  I had a natural miscarriage on March 19th 2006.  I was ten weeks but the baby had died at 6 weeks.  Everything went as well as can be expected and my HCG level was 2 about a month ago.  I took an HPT last week and it was faintly positive.  Took a few more, and they are still faint.  Went to the doctor and I have an HCG level of 25.  Could it be I caught it really early and that's why the levels aren't rising that high yet?  Any help in this situation would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks!!

http://www.ohiorepromed.com/hcg_levels.htm  check out this website.  Your numbers look good from the chart, but remember, they need to double every 48 to 72 hours.

The HCG levels you mentioned seemed high, even though they dropped.  If you aren't currently bleeding, I am not sure why they would be pushing you towards a D&C so quickly.  How are things for you now?

Hello. I'm pregnant with what would be my second child. My daughter was wonderful throughout the whole pregnancy, everything went well, delivery included. Well I wasnt sure yet how far along I am but I took two pregnancy test about a month ago, both postive, went to the emergency room and they also confirmed. Well Two days ago I woke up and soon after I had a small amount of brownish blood in my underwear and it stoped until that night when all at once I had a large rush of bright red blood and some small clots. I went to er and they did blood. I told them I was not sure exactly when my last period was, and they basically forced me to pick a day. Even then I told them I do,remember that my last period was very light and not normal. After doing blood they said my blood quant was at about five weeks but they thought I should be at least eight to ten weeks. Said there was a sac but couldn't see anything in it. Before I left the nurse basically told me I was miscarrying. How can I be sure they didn't just misread because of the date of my last period. Does my baby still have a fighting chance? Anyone ever had a similar problem. Btw I'm still bleeding heavy but no pain. Please help:,(

I found out i was pregnant a few days ago.
The day after i was bleeding and getting cramps, i went to the emergency room and my hcg level ws at 151. They said that was a little low, and because i was bleeding and having cramps that it could be a m/c ..  I went in three days later and my levels were at 154. and they told me the same thing "i threatened m/c" has anyone experienced this?

I was 10 dpo and got a temp drop in my chart. I assumed implantation & took a First Respons Early Pregnancy Test (2 of them) around noon and got positives. Very light, but visable and pink. I also took 3 wondfo internet brands and also got faint positives. Then I retested today with FMU at 11 dpo and got the same thing. Went in for a blood test and my hcg was 4 and my progesterone was 17.  What does this mean. How can a 4 pull a positive on a test. And if it was a chemical or a neg pregnancy why is my progesterone so high? Help please.

I'm not totally confused can someone pls help me?? I conceived 4 weeks ago but the hosp put me at 6 weeks. I had pain in my right side and they thought the pregnancy could be ectopic, turned out to be a cyst and the sac and yolk were visible on the u/s however the hosp have said as there was no visible heartbeat they want to rescan me as this should be showing now??? Also my hormone level was 9800 and 48 hours later 11200 and they are concerned with this. My hormone level seems really high to a lot of people on here so I'm totally baffled and very worried! Pls help xxx

I am new to this forum but i am going through the same thing you all are. I am 34 years old and have two boys.. super easy to get pregnant both times and zero complications with either pregnancy.  youngest is 2.5 years old.  I have had 2 miscarriages at about 4 or 5 weeks each... one right after the other. One in November of 09 and one in January of 2010.  I am rregnant again and still have not bled.. I kinda of feel pregnant but then I dont. I dont know know what it is supposed to feel like any more!  :(  I am about 4 weeks and 5 days.  HCG levels one week ago were 188 then 48 hours later were only 140.. Dr. gave me a 16% chance of the pregnancy making it, yet I have an ultrasound appt. in about two weeks. Anyway.. are those numbers good? they did not double.  I started bleeding 4 days after missed period for the last two miscarriages.... I am already at 5 days wth no sign of spotting or blood.  My boobies still hurt a tad and are a bit sore.  I do cramp a bit and have ligament stretching pains when I stand up.... and as soon as I settle down and rest, they go away.
