OH, no, 5! That is exactly what happened to me last month...my levels were only a 10 when they first took my hcg (but didn't bother telling me until I started spotting a week later! when they rechecked it then it was down to 0) :( I know exactly how you feel--heartbroken after just having your hopes up so very high then to have them crushed so quickly. :hugs: We're all here for you.
