HCG has me worried

I had my second HCG draw today and it increased but didn't double. I went from 190 to 270. My fertility doctor said this morning that he thought my 190 was good (this was before 2nd draw) and they said I was 4wks3d. When the nurse called she said it didn't go up as much as they like so I have another draw on Friday. I will also have an US next Thursday. The waiting/worrying is getting to me. I am praying it doubles by Friday and this is going to be a heathy pregnancy. Please say a prayer for me and my little bean!

  • Thoughts and prayers. I know how scary it is this early on. Thinking of you.
  • Sending thoughts and prayers your way. Hoping for the best at your next appointment; keep us posted.
  • Thank you all so much!
  • My fertility doctor says that everyone always thinks 48 hours is the steadfast rule...healthy pregnancies can still take up to 72 hours to double too..good luck on your numbers tomorrow!! I know how you feel I am being monitored very closely with a fertlity doctor too. 
  • Sending good thoughts your way!  I have also heard 48-72 hours for doubling before.

  • @BabyVDM Thank you for the database. I had my third draw this morning so I am anxiously waiting for the results.    
  • Update on HCG..
    Monday-190. Wednesday - 270 Friday - 369. The nurse said my numbers are concerning and we need to be cautiously optimistic. I will go next Thursday (5wks 4d) for an ultrasound and another draw. Things are not looking too good right now and I am trying to stay positive.
  • I'm sorry your news was less than great. Praying you get some better news soon!
