Im not really sure, I work at a drs surgery and women come in all the time with low hcg. Did ur dr tell u anything about it ? Probably best to wait for a few of the pregnant ladies on here theyre alot more experienced than me. Didnt want to leave u hanging though.

One more thing. My friend's levels were dropping so she had to get a blood test every other day I think. Eventually, they started to rise again and everything has been fine since then. I was also thinking the same as jamie. It's close enough that they could just be off on how far along you are and everything is actually right on track. Take care.

Idk why that happened. I never asked, I was just happy everything was okay and forgot to ask.
