 Hi nickky,
Although hCG levels are used as guides to development during early pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, and miscarriage, don't put to much emphasis on numbers alone. These levels begin rising at approximately 1 1/2 to 2 weeks after conception and double every 48-72 hours during the first 8-12 weeks of pregnancy. Was there no gestational sac observed by a regular ultrasound or was there a transvaginal ultrasound completed? In my opinion miscarriage would likely be ruled out as the levels of hCG would decrease rather than increase.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
