What Causes High HCG Levels And Missed Menstruation?

I am 8 weeks pregnant today. At 7 weeks I woke up to a bad dream that I lost the pregnancy and I noticed that I went from feeling really tired and sick to not feeling pregnant anymore. I took a home pregnancy test and it was only a faint line, much fainter then when I originally found out I was pregnant I called my doctor and she had me come to the office and she also did a urine test which showed only a faint line. She recommended doing two HCG blood tests 48 hrs apart. I took the tests at 7w4d (158,124) and 7w6d (175,635). I called to get the results today and the receptionist gave me the HCG levels but unfortunately my doctor has become sick and is in the hospital and can t review the results with me. From what I can see online the levels are high but I don t feel pregnant and I am still only getting a faint positive when doing a home pregnancy test. I have had miscarriages in the past and last miscarriage was a missed miscarriage that was detected at 9 weeks by ultrasound that showed a sack measuring 6 weeks with no fetal pole. Should I be concerned? I am just confused why I don t feel pregnant and am getting such a faint positive on a urine test but my blood HCG levels are high. Can this be an indication that there is a problem?

Hello madam/sir, welcome to medical care magic.
Rise in HCG is a very good sign.Congratulation you are pregnant. Initially lines on pregnancy tests will be faint . later after few weeks it will become dark. Don’t worry of previous ones. Definetely you are pregnant. And as you cannot feel the baby in tummy till 4th month how you can tell that you are not feeling. Few individuals , morning sickness(nausea, not feeling like taking few foods) also wont be there or very minimum. Engage on something you are interested. Stop thinking about it.Just get one abd pelvic scan done .With this I hope I cleared your doubts. Any further doubts you are always welcome. Take care. Good health
