Agreed, that is very confusing. Maybe create a second post in the pregnancy forum? I know double posting is frowned upon, but some experienced mommas may have some insight to slow rising hcg.
Before my last pregnancy I had an hcg level of 20 (I believe 17 dpo) two days later it was 30. My doctor told me to prepare for a miscarriage because my levels were dropping. Through the next week I waited for AF but it never came. I then took another hpt and it was darker. I called my doctor and told her that my hpt were darker and I had not started bleeding. She called me back and set me up for an ultrasound at 6 weeks. I went out of town slightly concerned but mostly ignorant. Got back and went to the ultrasound. The tech couldn't find anything but fluid in my pelvis. She asked me when I started to bleed, how much pain I was having and when did it start. I told her I hadn't bleed, had no pain and never had. They sent me to my doctors office and he had no idea what to do because they couldn't find anything. My hcg level was over 6000 which meant 3 hours after my ultrasound, I was in my doctors office being admitted to the hospital and being taken for emergency surgery. I had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured my left fallopian tube which should have caused me pain but didn't for who knows why. I would demand an ultrasound asap to save your tube if they can asap.

Can you get a second opinion from another doctor? One who would be willing to do an ultrasound? That's what I love about Kaiser. I can see any doctor, any time, any city so if one won't do what I ask then I will find one that will.
Hopefully you get some good news! Will be waiting to see what happens ((HUGS))
