HCG didn't double in 48-72 hours

lovemylobster · October 2015

Hi ladies,

I had a missed m/c for my first pregnancy and it completely destroyed me.

I had a healthy LO and am now pregnant again. However, it doesn't appear to be a good, healthy viable pregnancy

My levels are:
14dpo - 102 (22.3 progesterone)
16dpo - 186 (75% increase)
18dpo - 294 (66% increase)
25dpo - 1355 (51% increase in 48 hours; 76 hour doubling time - 20 progesterone)

My doctor said it's too soon to call it as of the 25dpo beta, so I go in Thursday for an ultrasound.

It isn't looking good, is it? I'm thankful for my LO, but was so ready and excited for this baby.

Any thoughts? Advice?

The rule is actually an increase of 60% every 72 hrs so by that standard ur numbers look right where they should be. Ur doc would've told u if there was reason for concern

The thing that's concerning to me is that the doubling times are getting longer. I would be guarded, but I can see why your doctor isn't ready to call it one way or the other. Good luck on Thursday!
