When I had my m/c I had a HCG level of 3 when I was at the hospital. I was 5 weeks 4 days at the time. By then I had been bleeding for over 24 hours. I had tested with 3 different tests (none of them the early kind) including a digital one which I think measured HCG levels over 50. I was told that it looked like I had been pg but no longer was but as I had a reading of 3 that I still could be and that the rise just hadn't occurred yet. Two days later I tested again and I got a -tve HPT. I was retested 3 days later & I was back to zero.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that from what they said it is still possible to have a low HCG reading and still be pregnant.... it didn't turn out that way for me but I was bleeding and you are not so don't give up hope just yet. I really hope things work out well for you.
