So i just posted this question but everyone answered b4 i got all the details in there so im gunna post again just to see what ppl think ...sorry..
So i got my blood work back from the docs today and she didnt tell me what my hCG level was...she just said it was low...what could that mean? is it something i should be worried about? She said by the levels..its saying im about 3weeks...planned parent hood said i was 3weeks when i found out which was almost 2 weeks ago...so in a way i guess its kind of right because they went back a week b4 i ovulated...so 2 of those weeks...i wasnt even pregnant...She didnt seem concerned about anything..she just said they were low...n that by the levels ...im about 3 weeks ((as of last tuesday)) and she asked if i was having any problems and i said no..and she said okay good...we will get the appointment set up for the ob doctor...and then she called me back about 20 minutes later and said my first appointment was aug. 6th at 2:00pm so if she
Update:Well i hope that the reason mine are low is because im not that far along...im so sorry for your loss

That is fine I went to get my blood work done when I was 8 days past ovulation and it was very low like 15 or something now it doubles so one reading is not enough to say weather it's a good or bad thing yet. One reading just confirms your preg. it's the other readings that show how well things are going if the levels are doubled then that's what they want to see. Don't worry your fine it's supposed to be low your only 3 weeks most women don't know until 4-6 weeks at which point the levels would be in the hundreds. My low HCG resulted in a healthy baby. But I have had chemical pregnancies where my HCG was so low that is was considered negative just a small trace was all they picked up enough to know at some point I was preg. but had miscarried. Also since I had a miscarriage I will tell you if it's gonna happen it will sucks but there is nothing that can be done any way. Your probably fine though.
I was told with my first pregnancy that my hCG levels were low and meant that I could easily miscarry and/or go into preterm labour. I ended up having a miscarriage just before I was 12 weeks, not due to any particular reason. Don't get scared of what happened to me though, lots of people have low hCG levels and they end up rising and have a healthy pregnancy and baby. I went on to have a healthy & normal pregnancy with my first son who's now 10 months old and am now almost 7 months pregnant with our second son. Don't stress yourself and take care of yourself and baby. Congrats! :)
