Hcg levels and cramping

Brittany • 💙 4.30.21

So I have no idea how far along I am, thought I was about 7 weeks.. have always had irregular periods. Last real period was May 20, then I had brown spotting for 6 days starting June 9th. Got my first positive June 30.

I started cramping pretty bad 4 days ago and I couldn’t sleep from it last night. My first appointment was set for July 30 and they can’t move it up. I called around to try to get an earlier date but all practices were telling me to go to the ER.

So I went.

Lots of sitting and waiting, lots of tests, and I didn’t really get a straight answer. They saw a gestational sac but it was empty. The sac measured at 5weeks. My hcg was 2,212. They told me that was low and I had to come back in 2 days to get my blood drawn again.

They told me it’s either early and healthy, an ectopic pregnancy, or early signs of a miscarriage. But I’m not sure what to take home from all of this?

Any advice? Has anyone been in this predicament? Are my hcg levels really that low?
