positive result, but REALLY low hcg

[Anonymous]

Anyone ever had numbers like this: hcg 3, progesterone 25 at their blood draw confirming pregnancy? My doc is not overly optimistic but says she's seen it go both ways. Any hopeful stories would be most welcome! My second blood draw will be in three days. I was pregnant last fall with starting numbers of hcg 45, progesterone 74, and miscarried a few weeks later.

I may be wrong about this (someone, please correct me if I am), but I think it is only the HCG number that really matters, or at least it matters a lot more. The progesterone levels can be corrected with medication, so if that number is off, steps can be taken, correct? And regarding the HCG, try not to worry/ think about it too much (easy for me to say, I know) until you have a comparison number in three days.

First HCG was 19. My daughter turns one next week!

OP here - thank you for the responses and support, and for and the betabase address, which gave me a little more hope (although sadly, I'm getting other signs that this one may not work out). I'll post again if I get any good news...

I thought your hcg had to be at least a 5 to be positive? I agree, the progesterone number isn't the one that is important.

my RE told me a positive BETA was 6 or above.
