Low HCG/ no gestational sac

[Hopeful_Claire]

Hi, my last period was June 8, 2016.
However I think I conceived June 25, 2016. I tested positive with a very faint line last July 9 and was asked by the doctor to repeat hpt in 2 days which was also faint. On July 13, I had an hcg test which showed 88, quite low as I was already 5 weeks counting from LMP. After July 15, hcg result at 148. July 16 went to have a TVS u/s and there was no sac yet because hcg was still too low and also ruled out ectopic.  Yesterday July 18 hcg at 212 and because it only rose 43 % in 3 days, doctor told me to expect a miscarriage. I also had very very light brownspotting for 3 days now. Do you think this is an impending miscarriage or is there still hope?
Hope to hear from you..

Thanks hkjen. Still in denial but all signs pointing to MC.

thanks so much for your reply

They minimum they expect to see is 60% rise in 48 hours, anything less than that means the cells aren't dividing properly.  With that and the spotting I think you need to prepare for a miscarriage.

It's hard to say as some peoples hcg levels rise really slowly. But on the other hand the majority rise quite quickly. You would be about three weeks pregnant as the first two week of being pregnant your not actually pregnant. Sounds confusing but at that many weeks your hcg would be really low. I would just keep taking your folic acid and try to take it easy not to much walking definitely no heavy lifting and such. Hope everything works out well for you x
