Hi, I think you should consult your doctor immediately as you may be miscarrying. Hcg levels will not tell much at this week of pregnancy. After hcg level reaches a cut off of 6000, it is not advisable to follow the pregnancy by hcg value. Only ultrasound can tell you the exact status. Hope I have answered your question.
