Pregnancy Info HOME

I think its something like 15% of all womens hcg#'s are slow to rise in a healthy pregnancy. Hopefully you will fall into that percentage. I'm sure your Dr.'s want to give the pregnancy every chance of surviving before making any judgements. A chemical pregnancy is one that usually happens before your missed period, no??.....I had similar #'s as well. In my case the slow #'s meant i was in the early stages of a miscarriage. They began testing my #'s at about 4 weeks. By 5 weeks pregnant I started to spot and subsequently miscarried. Both your #'s are low enough to not worry about an ectopic just yet. The higher they get the larger the fetus gets. Once the level reaches above 1000, they will probably perform an ultrasound to see if they can spot anything. If it's early enough, they can give the Methotrexate shot(usually hcg's being under 2500) to dissolve anything in the tubes. Good luck ladies. Keep us posted.
