I had a postive pregency test on sep 15th on the 21st my doctor sent me to the hospital as i has pain on one side. At this point my HCG level was only 89 this would be aprox 5 weeks and 4 days. They also did a scan on this day and nothing was founf no sac nothing. The nurse advised that untill your HCG reaches 1000, this is when it will be visable on the ultra sound.
I went back 48 hours later and my HCG level had gone to 256, the nurse advised this was good as it is ment to double in 48 hours. She has booked me in for a scan next thurday 1st.
I have not had any bleeding, have has slight pain but nothing major. I am very worried as my HCG levels are so low. All this waiting is sending me crazy.

I hope someone has some advise about this. Thankyou

your HCG levels are good. Everybodies levels are different so u shouldnt worry. Here are the levels I got of the internet. They are perfectly normal and if they are doubling than that is good.
•3 weeks: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
•4 weeks: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
•5 weeks: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
•6 weeks: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
•7 - 8 weeks: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
•9 - 12 weeks: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
•13 - 16 weeks: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
•17 - 24 weeks: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
•25 - 40 weeks: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
•Non-pregnant women: [5.0 mIU/ml
You are in a good range. I thought something was wrong with me when i got my HCG levels checked since i read other peoples post and their levels were on the low side and mine were touching the roof. my 5week 4 day level was 13570 and two days later it was 18000. it did not double but i heard after it gets to thousands or after 5/6 week the levels go up but do not double. with my first pregnancy my level were high too. at 4 weeks they were in 4,000 range and i wouldnt worry too much about them being low. if they are doubling than that is good or if they are going up.
