Answer 1

Yes you're pregnant. Get another and make sure it is going up at the correct rate. Congrats! Seems low to me too.

Answer 2

Technically after fertilization the coming up zygote releases hCG and is not a function of implantation initially. The low preliminary ranges are accompanied by using an improve after implantation (simply by growth of the placenta) and that's advice on the thank you to be useful earlier implantation simply by fact useful purely potential hCG ranges are modern-day. what's extreme is that the ranges improve for the time of being pregnant as a manner to maintain the corpus luteum (yellow tissue left at the back of from ovulation that secretes progesterone and maintains being pregnant).

Answer 3

Here is a great site for hcg lvls. I used it when I first became pregnant. Congrats on the baby. Hang in there, my numbers were low too at first but then they doubled like they were suppose to and now i'm almost 20 weeks. Good luck.

Answer 4

If it is reading HCG then yes! Here is something I have found, hope it helps!

Women begin producing hCG about eight to 10 days after conception when an embryo starts to burrow itself into the lining of the uterus. This hormone is measured by home pregnancy tests (HPTs) and, if present, will return a positive result. While HPTs can detect pregnancy about four days before a missed period, a hCG blood test is more sensitive and can detect pregnancy as early as 10 days after fertilization.

What makes hCG detection and measurement such a useful tool for your midwife or OBGYN? As an embryo grows, the level of hCG rises and, as a general rule, hCG beta numbers should double every 36 to 48 hours. A dramatic decrease in the level may indicate a miscarriage, whereas a level that lingers or falls well below the normal range may indicate an ectopic pregnancy. hCG beta levels can also be used to identify a multiple pregnancy.

The numbers in the beta hCG chart below are to be used only as a guideline and should be interpreted by your physician.

Answer 5

You are considered pregnant but it's really low and especially for how long you are. I'm not sure the exact numbers but I know that there is a website that breaks it down what the levels should be. I hate to think it but I'm sorry sweety you might be miscarrying. I wish you and the baby the best.

Answer 6

It is a very low #, but yes you are pregnant. You are very early into your pregnancy, like 2-3 weeks.
