Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Here is my response in a point wise manner in order to address each aspect of your query and also for your better understanding:

+The home test responds to your urine hCG levels which change with the changing gestational age. If the doctor said you are 5 weeks, and the home test reported 2-3 weeks, this means your hCG levels are lower than normal and correspond to a gestational age of 2-3 weeks, and are not sufficient enough for a 5 week gestation

+A doctors visit is very important, because based on the information provided it seems to me that yours is a threatened abortion. This diagnosis means that you are at risk of a miscarriage, but have not miscarried yet. This can be controlled and most women go to term with a healthy baby as well, but early management and control is pivotal

+Your doctor will prescribe progesterone pills and hCG injections which will both aid in sustaining and supporting your pregnancy.

+Honestly speaking I cannot predict the future of your pregnancy until you are examined and started on medications, but I am going to hope and pray all goes well

+In the meantime, make sure you get complete bed rest and do not experiment with that

I hope and pray all goes well, and you have your precious XXXXXXX with you in 9 months time. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
