Slow rising hcg *UPDATE*

Kellyfayeweaver

I had my hcg drawn at 10 dpo after having a positive hpt. It was 417. I had it drawn again today at 12 dpo, it was 640. So it isn't double, but rising. Has anyone else had anything like this? We've had 4 miscarriages, all of which had very low hcg. So when I got my fort number I was very excited. Now to see they're not doubling, I'm worried

I don't have anything but bad experiences with slow rising hcg. But the only times I've had hcg checked was when there were other issues already. I know it's impossible not to worry. Are they going to continue testing? Good luck. Positive thoughts for you.

Here's the beta base numbers for levels. Your levels didn't completely double but they are hella high 10dpo. Try not to stress too much right now. Will they be checking it again?

Today i'm going for my hcg levels. I have my hopes up high. Kelly, your levels seem on top of the roof. Maybe twins? Just saying....

I will be getting retested on Monday. Which is still 3 days away!! I know the number seemed high, that's why I was so excited. But then... They didn't double

Oh and, they are having me get an ultra sound in two weeks. Two weeks has never seemed so far away.

This made me feel a little bit better. I can't be the only women who's numbers didn't double.

With my last pregnancy they were really slow rising in the beginning (taking closer to 4 days to double). He's now 2.5 and everything was fine!

Thank you! I'm really hoping since my numbers are high, everything will be ok.

Check my siggy for my betas with my 4th pregnancy, my only successful pregnancy. They were terrible! Best of luck!

My numbers were always slow rising. My first 2 pregnancies were healthy and normal. On #3 and I'm not doubling again. Everyone is different. I wouldn't worry. And it's 48-72 hrs for doubling.

I'm 5 weeks 4 days and my hcg levels went up from 62 a week ago to 190 today but the nurse didn't sound too excited for my numbers. I get my blood drawn again tomorrow to see if they increase in 48 hours. Should i be really worried? I've had 6 m/c in the last year and scared

Here's an attachment of hcg guide. With my experience in that past, I would say your hcg doesn't look good. But, keep holding your hope. You never know, and I'm certainly no doctor. Good vibes your way. ☀️

@Kellyfayeweaver
I was taught 60% increase is more realistic than doubling. Wishing you the best

Kellyfayeweaver

That makes me feel much better!

My reproductive endocrinologist looks for doubling every 48 to 72 hours or a 63% increase. The further along you go in the pregnancy hCG levels are going to take longer to rise

Hi
I had that with one my pregnancies, didn't exactly double but my hcg were considerably high to begin with- that baby is nearly 2 years old now. I now don't get hcg levels tested as my doctor upset me for no reason. Think you should only worry if they are dropping or not rising....hope that helps and I hope all is ok

Kellyfayeweaver

Thank you all for your encouraging words! I had some brownish discharge for the past couple of days. It was very light and has now stopped. I had that with my second child as well. I can't help but worry. I sure hope everything is ok!

I forgot to add, one of our miscarriages was an ectopic pregnancy. So I'm worried that it's happening again.

Kellyfayeweaver

Well, we went in today to have the numbers checked. They, unfortunately, dropped to 583. They did an ultrasound and discovered it is yet another ectopic pregnancy. I hope you all have healthy and safe pregnancies.
