Brief Answer:
Repeat HCG level after 48 hours.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
You have just had one HCG level. It is not enough to decide whether the pregnancy is healthy or not.
One cannot see a intrauterine gestational sac at this level of HCG.
To clarify things you need to repeat HCG level after 48 hours. If the level has increased by 66% or more, it suggests healthy pregnancy.
If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama

But these level ranges vary from lab to lab. So you need to check with your lab for the normal range.
