that actually seems fine! how far along are u
Whether it's good or not depends entirely on when the first was taken last week. For example if it was taken Friday and then again Tuesday it's exactly where you'd want to see it. But if it was Friday and taken today then it's quite low. It's so hard to say and I truly hope that it goes well for you. Just been through this it and it's so stressful. I've seen good outcomes when you think there won't be so don't give up!
Perhaps you ovulated late and you are nearer to 5 weeks and if so these numbers are so bad

Ovulation period was around the 19th-22nd of April ...should be 6 weeks right?
Hcg can take up to 96 hours to double after 1,200 and no longer doubles every 48-72 hours. I can understand your worry and am not trying to get your hopes up but it's not over yet -so hopefully your next scan with show that baby. I had an empty sac with dd until 6 weeks 2 days and they though for sure it was another ectopic and scanned me every 48 hours and then all at once we saw it all including the heartbeat. My levels slowed way down after 1,200 and it was such a nice surprise to be wrong

Not always sometimes you can ovulate late which will put you back a couple weeks. It could very well be that you were 5 instead of 6 weeks. I know with my current pregnancy my LMP does not match up with how far along I am. If I go based on my estimated due date from the ultrasound my period would have been around January 11th but instead I actually had it around the 4th of January. How long your Cycles are can also play a factor.
