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!
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.
Here's a helpful link to the betabase that shows the doubling time of betas between 128-256 in successful pregnancies (deemed successful if HB is detected)
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.
