HCG not doubling?

kates_mommy

I think i'm looking at a miscarriage. Long story short had some bleeding sunday had hcg monday it was 19200 saw hb on ultrasound it was 112. Today HCG only went up to 26.470. I think it should double. Anyone have any success stories?

When your HCGs start to get pretty high, sometimes they don't double as quickly, and at some point they level off. So I would say there is still hope. They still increased versus decreasing. Have you had any more bleeding? Are you scheduled for another ultrasound soon? Sending thoughts and prayers your way!

No more bleeding and never had any cramping. Getting abother ultrasound tomorrow so hopefully everything will be ok.

PP is right, after a while (some people say after your HCG hits 5000) it stops doubling and is still fine. I'm surprised they did a follow-up blood draw at all, because once you can see baby on u/s, then measuring baby's growth every few days to a week is MUCH more reliable (and more reassuring, as I'm sure you'd attest!)
