Question about HCG after a BFP

So I had my HCG test today and got a BFP! My RE did say that my HCG level is 6 which is a little low. He will check it again on Monday to see if it increases. Has anyone else had this experience? Should I be concerned?

Hi Ladies,

Since she is sub for the regular nurse and the RE in on vacation :roll: I am not sure if my numbers are cause for ...

Hi Ladies,

I am officially on my 2WW. :? The RE was able to transfer 3 embies on Monday, and apparently 2 grade 1 with 7 cells each and 1 grade 4 with 4 cells. I spent the first three days on my sofa simply resting and praying. My beta is scheduled for August 7th. :!:
