5 weeks pregnant low hCG please help
Hi! I recently found out I’m pregnant. This is my first pregnancy.
I had my period April 18-24. I tested positive May 15 despite my period being due May 18. I didn’t miss my period yet, but I was feeling off and took a pregnancy test which came back positive. I believe my baby was conceived any day from April 27-May 4. I’m with my partner and we have sexual Intercourse daily but I believe these were my most fertile days.
May 17 I went to planned parenthood. They said I’m around 3-4 weeks pregnant. They took a sample of blood to check my hCG. The level was 233
May 19 I went back to planned parenthood for the second blood sample to compare to the last once. Since the last level was 233, they said it must double and go to 460. They gave me a month supply of prenatal vitamins because I told them I’m more than likely NOT having an abortion.
Today, May 23, the doctor called me and told me my hCG was only 350 and not the expected 460. They told me I need to come in today for another sample of blood and possibly an ultrasound. Today is also my official fifth week of pregnancy.
Has anyone had a pregnancy start off like this and it still be viable? I’m in fear it may be a chemical pregnancy, early miscarriage, or possibly ectopic. I have to go to the doctor in half an hour but my anxiety is through the roof. Can anyone give me insight on this?
