HCG levels that didn't double

[babyfeva]

Hi ladies. Im only 6 weeks along but wanted to see if anyone had my same experience. I went in to check my betas at 5 weeks and it was 4548. 2 days later it was 4802 but midwife said I should've waited 3 days to have checked for 2nd betas not 2 days. I went again 2 days later and it rose to 5710. She says it's good and that my progesterone is at 13.6.

Have any of experienced this and went on to be fine? I'm just nervous because I had a mm in March. Thanks for any input.

I went in at 5+3 for bloods and again at 5+5 and mine didn't double, in fact my "Consultant" advised it was probably ectopic, and tried to make me take "The Pill" to terminate the pregnancy! I refused, so she booked me in the following day for Laparoscopy to remove a tube... I kicked off day of surgery and demanded a scan, and lo and behold, LO was in the right place, here I am 25weeks now!

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy that you went with your gut feeling and that your baby is fine.

Mine didn't double and they got really concerned which of course made me paranoid. Yet everything is fine with my baby now 14 weeks pregnant. Everyone is different so just stay positive. X

I don't remember exactly when hcg starts slowing down but I thought it was around 5 weeks.
