HCG concerns

My HCG was previously rising at an appropriate rate (10DPO=40, 12DPO=141, 14DPO=416, 17DPO=1797) however, I got an additional HCG drawn on 25DPO and it had onyl increased to 5925 (4.5 day doubling time, ~34% 2 day increase). I had an early US at 5W5D and saw gestational sac, yolk sac and possibly a start of the fetal pole. My doctor didn’t seem concerned and I have no signs of a MC, but can’t help to focus on the slowed down doubling time. Has anyone expierenced this? Does it seem norma

    Hi @knottief265542855e0b0bc, you might get some more answers by posting this on the Great Big Question Thread on this board! By 6 weeks HCG doubling time slows a bit, to the 96 hour range, so that could be why. After HCG is around 6,000mlU HCG doubling time usually gets even slower. It's good that your doctor isn't concerned, although a bit frustrating to not get more of an explanation. Do you have another ultrasound scheduled soon?
