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.
