Horribly low HCG Blood test at 13DPO, has anyone had this?

Kelley • 30, due with 2nd child 2018! Two prior miscarriages.
I got the faintest positive on earth, so I went to my fertility doctor and my blood test came back at only 11HCG. I know this is not great at about 13DPO. Having levels redone tomorrow but has anyone experienced this?  Did you get your period shortly after or did it progress?  Thanks ladies!

How do you know that the baby didn't implant at 11 or 12 dpo? Your Hcg has to start somewhere. Take your second blood test and see if the number increased. Deep breath. :)

Don't worry yet. I got my BFP at 12 dpo and went that same day for a blood test. When they called they said it was only 16 and they weren't sure if things would work out. A week later they retested and it was above a thousand. My beautiful baby is still doing great I am 13 weeks pregnant!! Have faith!!!

Thanks Maryann! It's hard not to get excited, and this maybe barely pregnant limbo is emotional. Thanks for the encouragement. 😘

My levels were up to 37 today!!!  I know that's still super low but they went up so much I'm thrilled and so relieved it's still going.  Thanks for all the encouragement and hope ladies!

My levels were super low my first two tests- 17 & 42. I was worried but my doctor assured me it was early and I must have caught my pregnancy really early. I just went for an ultrasound last week and heard the heartbeat! I'm 8w. Just give it some time girlie, they'll go up! Good luck!! 👍

The actual number isn't what's important. What matters is that it doubles every 23-48 hours. Don't worry!
