Welcome to the EmpowHER community. I can appreciate how uncertain you must be feeling right now.
Best to return as instructed and have another blood pregnancy test done.
Caution must be used in making too much of hCG numbers. A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby. The results from an ultrasound after 5 -6 weeks gestation are much more accurate than using hCG numbers.
The hCG hormone is produced by the cells of the placenta. An hCG level of less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy.
