Low HCG levels in Pregnancy

My daughter's initial blood test to confirm pregnancy had a HCG level of 32.  The next day she began spotting and then seemed to have a normal period.  A couple of days later, the test showed level of 20.  Then, then next day it was 30, then a couple of days later, it was 40, then 80.  Now, 3 weeks after she had the HCG level of 32, the level is over 400.
When she had the 80 level, the doctor said she most likely has a tubal pregnancy or the pregnancy may be abnormal.  But, now that the level is rising, they will do an ultrasound to make sure it is not in her tube.  I would like to hear if any others have had similar HCG levels and if so, did any have a normal pregnancy?

how far along is she? i can only tell you from experience that, i lost a baby when i was 6 weeks along,i started spotting and then had normal period type bleeding followed by tons of cramps before it came out. the same night i started bleeding,i had my first prenatal class and blood work was drawn. when the results came back they told me my levels were in the 300 range and they should have been in the thousands for how far along i was.
keep us posted, and i hope everything goes alright
