Hi,

I am about 5 weeks pregnant and my nurse said that my hCG levels are very low, though they are continuing to rise slowly. However, I have recently been experiencing cramps in my lower back. They feel exactly the same as when I would get my period. No bleeding yet (its been 2 days) but I am still very worried since it feels like I am going to start my period any minute. Could I be miscarrying? Crying or Very sad

Any advice?

Every woman is different when it comes to HCG. It's not so much the level that matters but that it is doubling properly. You can google for an HCG calculator to see if you are on track.
