Help pls - qns on hcg levels

[Acacia]

Hi Venus,

I know it's really hard not to worry, but try to remember to keep breathing and try and stay as relaxed as possible.

The guideline that HCG should double every two days is really quite a fluid thing. My understanding is that it is meant to *approximately* double every two to three days. It can be more than exactly double, and it can less than exactly double, and everything can still be ok. Every woman and every pregnancy is different.

You were only two days past your last BT, and that level was still increasing after two days, which is a good sign. Although it hadn't doubled, it doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong, given that it should take 2-3 days for it to *approximately* double.

The best indication is going to be your next BT. I know it's really hard to have to wait that long when your really worried about what's happening (I went through a similar thing after my first BT with my BFP), but please try not to read too much into anything at the moment, as hard as it is.

I hope to hear really great news in a few days, and I'll be thinking of you, hoping for that continued increase in your levels.

Good luck, and remember to keep breathing, hun.

Miss C
