Stressed over hcg levels not doubling!

[babyfeva]

Had my first levels checked on Monday and it was 4548. Re took tests yesterday and they are only 4802! I'm so stressed that I'm going to have another miscarriage. My doctors office mentioned that I should've waited 3 days in between to test so they're going to have me re-test tomorrow. Should my levels have risen more than 254?

Try not to worry hon!!!! After your number gets past 1000 it can take up to 96 hours to double. You could have caught it in the blood test right before it shot up. If you won't be offended I'll pray you get satisfactory results from tomorrow's test.

The doubling time increases as your hcg gets higher. Here's a chart I found about doubling time.

< 1200 hcg= 48 - 72 hours

1200 to 6000 hcg=72 - 96 hours

> 6000 hcg= > 96 hours

Thank you so much ttc. I appreciate it.
