Re: 48 hours later, low hCG levels rise

  • Hi there! 

    Thx so much for your reply. The new doctor is temporary one since I'm on a short visit here,  but trust the docs and labs here more. 

    I'll eventually, in a month most probably,  move back to the US and will be able to have my own ob gyn there. 

    I had to submit another blood sample today and the number moved up from 38622 to 42110


    Not a big jump,  not doubling, not even 60%, but a growth nonetheless. 


    What do you ladies think? 

    Thx much

  • OP, once HCG reaches a certain level, it will not double every 48-72 hours. At 38k, my guess would be a week for doubling. You can google it, I'm just making a semi-educated guess.

    Dear ladies

    I thought I'd update you and thank you all for your support!

    My husband and I did a sonogram on the 24th when I was 6 weeks and 5 days and we heard the heartbeat!  It was 135!

    Our little nugget had perfect measurements on all aspects and we are praying all goes well from now on. 


    Every doctor now is inclined to a lab error with previous results and taking their own measures with that. 

    I hope all expecting mom find relief the way I did. 

    Bless you
    That's wonderful, congratulations
  • In my experience hcg levels dropping or not doubling (even if rising still) hasn't turned out good. Sorry you are in limbo.
