No.: The human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone, "hcg" level, starts low and increases as a healthy fetus grows. It is used as a measure of a fetus' appropriate growth and viability. If your HCG level is truly very low that usually suggests the fetus is not viable. (healthy and normal).

Good morning. My hcg result came back with a count of 3737. How many weeks am I pregnant and from where do I count? Lab test says 5-6 weeks 160-32000 and 7-9 weeks 3700 - 16000. Which one is it? Thanks?

So I thought I was 7 weeks 5 days but I measured at 6 weeks 1 day. The baby has a good heart beat at 115 and everything looks good in terms of the sac but HCG is not doubling like it should but going up progesterone is good. Will I miscarry?
