Low HCG?

Samantha

I am praying this bean sticks! I had a MC late December and now I am pregnant again-- before a regular cycle! I don't know DPO, had a blood test today and HCG was at 23! I am hoping/thinking maybe I ovulated more recently and that my body kicked in with symptoms super early! Anyone have success stories with low HCG at the beginning?! I go back Thursday to have my second blood test to compare. The wait is killing me already!
