Boy am I tired of reading conflicting information. Everywhere on the Internet and in books says HCG doubles every 2 days early on, then takes up to 3 as it proggresses and once you get to 6000+, can take over four days to double. They did my bloodwork Thursday night in the ER. (went for brief spotting. it stopped. U/S measured 6 weeks and showed 100bpm heartbeat) It was 22302 around 10pm. About 82 hours later (this morning following up per ER dr's request) HCG was 41095. I was worried. ER nurse said "you're good" and stranger things have happened. Internet and support groups back this up saying doubling rate slows way down. When I call to update my midwife's office, their nurse says no, that's too low and they still want to see 66% rise over every 48 hours. Gah which is it?!
