HCG and progesterone bloodwork came back in the 3-4 week range when I should be over 5, and at 4 instead of the 8 minimum my OB likes to see.
I anticipated the progesterone issue and began suppositories tonight, but I'm kicking myself for being so breezy about never having an issue with hcg before. I go back Tuesday to recheck, but I'm not feeling great about this.
Fuck.

UPDATE 7/6/16: I finally got my 2nd hcg result: it went up from 34 last thursday to 88 yesterday. the nurse is pleased it's "doubling like it should" and requested i make my first ultrasound appointment.
WHAT THE FUCK?! i am so glad to have this community, because i have some serious questions. namely, what the hell it means that i should be measuring 6 weeks tomorrow per LMP and yet, my numbers are so damn low. i don't know my exact o date, but according to OPKs i surged late wednesday (6/8) and thursday (6/9), assuming i read them correctly. MH and I only had sex 3x that week, and at no other time before or after... so even if my o dates are off, they wouldn't result in this big of a discrepancy for a pregnancy, right? my IRL friends are convinced of late implantation, but i still don't know if that could make such a difference.
i am still experiencing heavy discharge mixed with old blood. i noticed a small clot or two this afternoon but have no serious cramping or red/pink bleeding.
all of my previous losses were late 1st tri with virtually no symptoms until no heartbeat was detected at an U/S, so this is a new fresh hell for me. could this be a blighted ovum? to be honest, i'm alarmed at the lack of alarm from my OB's office. but if they aren't worried, then i guess i shouldn't be? (they know about the spotting.) HALP.
