For IVF moms, we watch beta hCG levels like a hawk. It is completely normal for them to be low initially as long as they are doubling properly every 48 hours, so sending you lots of love.
hCG levels are usually very low in the first few days and then they rise rapidly. Keep eating healthy home-cooked meals, but if you have any severe cramps or spotting, check with your gynac immediately.
Yes, it starts low. If the doctor asks for a repeat beta hCG test to see if it's doubling, try to compare prices of local labs because some hospital labs can charge way too much.
I remember being so anxious about my test reports, but my mother told me to stay calm. In early pregnancy, hCG is naturally low but it doubles quickly, so keep faith and consult your doctor.
