Low Hcg Levels - Las Vegas,NV

Every woman and every pregnancy is different.
Unless you had a fertility procedure, it's really hard to pinpoint exactly when conception/implantation took place - so maybe you are not exactly 5 weeks pregnant yet.
At this stage HCG levels can double every 48-72 hours, so the next test should tell you more.
It's hard not to worry, but worrying isn't going to help or change anything - so try to relax and think positive thoughts.

Here is more info about HCG than you probably want to know:

I will pray for you too hon. 200 is awfully low, but don't freak out until you go to the doctor.

You could just be earlier than 5 weeks, and your HCG could still be low and building. Try not to worry too much. Just wait and see what the levels look like with the next test.

200 does seem low but it's the next number that will be telling. The numbers at least double every day or 2 so when they check it the numbers will either be , hopefully, going up, or down. I have had 4 miscarriages and remember how sad it is, and how nerve wracking watching those numbers. On my last pregnancy, they put me on Progesterine suppoitories for 15 weeks. I don't know if it was that or not but I now have an amazing 13 year old boy!!

Good luck to you and sending prayers your way....

It's all about the next number and whether it doubles from 200. Ask that your progesterone be checked too. Good luck.
