Hello,
Your serum beta-hCG titers are on the lower side, but, do not confirm a chemical pregnancy. In the current scenario, I would ask you to get serial titers along with a sonogram of the pelvis preferably in the transvaginal route. Doubling of titers every 2 to 3 days suggests good progress of the pregnancy. Sometimes, the titers remain lower during the early days and pick up later. Take adequate rest and have a healthy diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shanti Vennam
