Judging from the date of your posting.  I think you should be at least 5-6 weeks right now and your levels are super low.  Once you miss your period - you are then at 4 weeks so there's no such thing is at 1-2 weeks.  Your pregnancy test reads from the ovulation date that's why it said 1-2 weeks but you have to add additional 1-2 weeks from the date you have your period and another 1-2 weeks after your ovulation ate.

Even at 4 weeks the level should be at least 40-50 and 5 weeks should be at about 500's.  I think you should let your body heal for atleast 3 months to avoid m/c.  

My levels were 735 at 6/7 weeks and they said it was low - i loss it

They should double basically every other day. Hard to say cause 23 is still pretty low. They told me mine were low at 102. So maybe you're just very early.

Thank you, I actually went in early Monday morning to have my hormone re tested and I'm waiting for the results I should be getting them back today...  I'm very anxious to know since I'm still getting positive pregnancy test at home this is so confusing for me... :(

5 is very low. They shouuld test you again in a few days to be sure its progressing as it should. My levels at 5wks were 102. So unless you're very early, I'm not sure. They say anything less than 5 is not pregnant. So that number isn't really reassuring for me :( I wish you luck! I had a m/c in sept last year and my levels were still at a 1 almost 2-3mos after.
