low hcg level and no fetal pole at 5weeks

Hi, I went to the doctor on monday and they took my hormone levels, it was 91.  I was 5w2d.  They told me this was low.  They also did an ultra sound and they saw a yolk sac, but no fetal pole.  I am getting another ultrasound done in a week.  Two days later, wednesday, I got more blood work done, they expected my HCG level to double, but it is only at 135.  Is this normal?? should I be worried? they told me its a 50/50 chance to be a successful pregnancy and I have to wait to see what the ultrasound shows in a week but I cant wait that long!!
HELP!!

It's still too early to see a fetal pole. Just pray and hang in there mom. Best of luck.

I know it's difficult but do your best to stay stress free. 5 weeks is early for an ultrasound. And though your levels are low they have at least gone up some.  As long as youre not bleeding or having bad cramping there is hope. Just pray and remember to relax.
