Hi all. I am currently 4 weeks 6 days pregnant. This is my second pregnancy and I went from elated to deflated. I am a control freak and as soon as I found out I was pregnant 12 DPO I ordered a blood test. I tested one day after my missed period and my number came back at 48. I was disappointed but also know that it just needs to double within 4872 hours. I did a repeat test 48 hours later and my number was only 62. That's about a 30 increase. I am just beside myself. Does anyone have any success stories? My doctor doesn't seem worried and I retest tomorrow, but with my daughter I quadrupled in 72 hours with her HCG and I just feel hopeless.
Re: Low rising HCG
Be patient and hang in there. I have seen all kinds of levels low and high, slow and fast rising, on these boards.
Did they order another test? I think that would be the way to go.
Good luck
My betas have been similar. Some people just double slower than others. My first beta was 42. Second 58, third 96.9, dr said no more betas, first u/s friday. Unfortunately its all a waiting game. They like to see 66% rise in 48 hours. mine didnt ad they told me to prepare for the worst after the second, then I got the third and they are much happier. Hoping to see a little bean on friday.
