HCG levels not doubling.

Hi everyone. My Hcg level was 334 on Wed and 512 on Fri (exactly 48 hours later)
Unfortunately, I have to wait till Mon to see if the Dr. Would like to schedule one more blood test. Does anyone have any thoughts on numbers only rising 52% in 48 hours?
Thank you!

Re: HCG levels not doubling.

  • Mine only went up about 55% in 48 hours. My numbers were higher than yours- more like 3000-5000 for example when I was about 6 weeks. However, at 7 weeks I saw a heartbeat and a baby right on track. Of course I'm still nervous, but my doctor brushed it off after seeing the heartbeat staying that growth on US is so much more important than HCG. Fingers crossed things continue to progress for you!

  • My first number (334) was 4 wks 5 days and 512 @ 5wks. That makes me feel better! I have an is scheduled at 7 weeks. Seeing the heartbeat is a GREAT sign. Good luck to you and thanks for responding. :)

  • Unfortunately, I won't know till Mon what she thinks about the numbers. I was able to get the results from the lab but the Dr. Won't be in till Monday. I know that I'll find out soon enough, just was hoping getting a little advise may help my nerves. ☺️

    FX crossed for you! I don't have any personal experience but I would think if they were really concerned they wouldn't have told you the results over the phone. Hoping for the best!

  • My numbers only went up about 50% between the second and third blood tests my Dr ordered. 2 days later had an ultrasound and everything was on track! Don't worry too much about the numbers. They're just one factor among many!
  • Thank you for the uplifting words! I'm so glad things went well for you!! I will keep you all posted. Fingers crossed.☺️
