**Updated** HCG didn't double

I went in on Tuesday 27 days after my LMP and my HCG was 160. I went in this morning about 46 hours later and it was 317. Our RE's nurse called today and said they wanted the levels to be at least 320. I have not had pain or bleeding. Has anyone had experience with this where it turned out ok? She says the concerns are around miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, I'm to call this weekend if I have pain or bleeding, otherwise go in on Monday to have it tested again. Trying to remain calm, but feeling sad. Any thoughts out there? My partner corrected my numbers again, first was 165, second 317, they wanted 330. I'm brainless lately.

**UPDATE**

I went in this morning (96 hours after my last test) for another bloog test and HCG was at 1447. Phewf. The nurse said the numbers were great and they will schedule me for an early ultrasound just to make sure everything looks ok. I really appreciate the support y'all gave me, it definitely helped me get though the weekend!

    She was seriously that concerned?  You're well within the 48-72 hour doubling time window.  Hmmmm.  Sorry that this is stressing you out and I certainly do hope everything sticks for you.  Try to relax and know that your numbers are

  • Thanks JGy we thought it sounded like it might be ok too. We aren't even sure why they decided to run the tests, I guess because that's just what RE's do. I don't seem to have fertility issues, just needed the iui for the baby making part...

  • These numbers dont sound off to me either. Our 2nd draw numbers where also just slightly under what they "expected" and had to go for a 3rd draw. 

    Stay positive, nothing can hurt you more than stress!

  • I'm so thankful for y'all keeping me calm. I just keep telling myself that many women take a home pregnancy test and then hope for the best until several weeks later. I feel good and it seems like I'm having normal symptoms (nausea, fatigue, etc)... so we
  • Adding my own supportive vibes to the mix. Congrats on the BFP. I hope your next numbers are amazing and they all continue to be from there.
    ****loss discussed*****

    We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

    Our IUIs
    with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

    Our IVFs:
    IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

    IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
    BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
    2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
    BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
    1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

    ***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

    FET #1 December 2014
    Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
    BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

  • Just want to send some support.  I am too surprised they were worried about those numbers.  While I know most REs want them to double in 48 hours, technically the window is 72 hours from what I understand. 

    Fingers crossed for dou
