Difficult to say: An hCG level of 23 would be consistent with having conceived approximately 10 to 14 days ago. An ultrasound will show the very beginning of a gestational sac at an hCG level of about 1200. We generally cannot see a viable embryo until about 10,000. Unfortunately with only one measurement, it is impossible to say what will happen. You just need time.

Go to OB: There is no way to answer this question here or anywhere on the internet. Your
ob will have this information after reviewing the ultrasound.

Any: It could be any of those. Probably start with a pregnancy test. They are quite good these days, even around the time of expected menses.

No: Bleeding during intercourse is not a sign of early pregnancy.
