I made a trip to the ER today as I've been having some bright red spotting and some cramps. I haven't been to my family doctor quite yet but will see him on the 10th. I really wanted some reassurance and to get my Rh.
My LMP was August 9 and with my normal cycle, it would be exactly 4 weeks from my last period. The doctor did a pelvic and said everything looked fine from what he could see. Then I had a beta HCG drawn. Within an hour he came back and said "your hcg was really low. Only 124. We'd like to see it in the thousands." I was SO confused. I asked him what that would put me at as far as length goes and he said only a few days. With my calculations, I'd only be about a week or so. Then he started talking about ectopic pregnancies and scheduled me for an ultrasound next week.
I left the ER feeling really worried and still am. From what I read, I am within the normal range as far as hcg levels go!
Now I'm worried and can't shake it!
Thoughts?
