Hello,
At for 5 weeks pregnant, I was told by the doctor that I were going to have a miscarriage because my hcg levels were entirely too low to carry the baby to full term. Now a different doctor told me that I had PCOS and needed to take clomid and metformin to get pregnant and I did. But after getting pregnant I stopped taking the metforim. I was wondering if I were suppose to keep taking it throughout the pregnancy to keep my hormones or progetrone levels up. I just want to know what causes a person to have extremely low hcg levels, and what I need to do when trying to concieve for the second time, what will be helpful to my situation.

Sorry, not a helpful answer, but you should consult your doctor to help you with these questions. Because you have pcos, your hormone levels should be monitored in the beginning of your pregnancy - your doctor may prescribe certain hormones to take if your levels are low. As for getting pregnant again, that again will depend on your hormone levels - where they are and what might be missing. You could make yourself crazy trying to figure all this out - the doctor could test your blood and answer your quickly.

Good luck.
