hcg not doubled, any hope?

Kerry, firstly I want to say congratulations. And secondly I agree with Katkins and TBH the figures look pretty good to me.. Best of luck with the scan I know all too well how hard it is not to worry 24/7. xx

Thanks, Katkins and Nicambhar. I've just had a look at a good site (babymed dot com) and it's helped allay my fears a little. Well, this information did anyway:

* Within the first 2-4 weeks after fertilization, hCG usually doubles every 48-72 hours
* An increase of 60% in 48 hours is still considered normal
* Below 1,200 mIU/ml, hCG usually doubles every 48-72 hours
* Between 1,200 and 6,000 mIU/ml serum, the hCG usually takes 72-96 hours to double
* Above 6,000 mIU/ml, the hCG often takes over four days to double
* More than two in three normal pregnancies have a doubling of the hCG every 72 hours
* There is a wide variation of normal hCG levels. An hCG that does not double every two to three days does not necessarily indicate a problem

I'll let you know how tomorrow's scan goes. Thanks again.
