My hcg levels measured low with my second pregnancy. 5 wks: 116, 6 wks: 609, 7 wks: 1502, 8 wks: 1412. I knew they were low because my OB kept sending me for more blood work week after week. I did an internet search to find out where they should be and saw that they didn't fall into the expected range. Plus, they weren't doubling every 2-3 days. At 8 wks, the day before I had the last blood test, I started spotting. 2 days later I had an ultrasound which confirmed no heartbeat and that I'd likely miscarry. The next day I miscarried. It was sad but knowing my hcg levels weren't as they should be helped prepare me emotionally for that outcome.

AnswerDOCTOR TOLD ME TODAY YOU HGC NEVER GOES DOWN IN A HEALTHY PREGNANCY.AnswerIt means you could be losing your baby.My HCG levels started going down at around what I thought was my 18th week of pregnancy. The dr sent me home scared saying I may be losing my baby. I went back 2 days later for another HCG test and again, drastic drop. An OB/GYN came in and reassured me that HCG levels start dropping around 20 weeks. So I may actually be further along than estimated. Everything looked normal. It is not good to stress about anything while pregnant, because it's just going to cause more problems.

Can you be pregnant with 3 positive urine tests but hormone blood level of 3?
i don't think so but maybe. HCG is the hormone human chronic gonadotropin, which is produced by placental cells during pregnancy. Yes, you can be pregnant with an HCG level at 3. Typically, below 5 is negative and above 25 is positive. It can be this low in the first week or two of pregnancy. Some women have lower HCG levels during pregnancy than are typical. Ectopic pregnancies can result in low HCG levels. It can also indicate a problem with the pregnancy. It is best to have at least two HCG readings a couple days apart, if you are relying on HCG levels. If you think you should be 5 or more weeks pregnant but have low HCG levels, it would be a good idea to double-check with an ultrasound.
