Hello All,

I am totally freaking out here.... I am finally pregnant again by FET after my missed miscarriage last year and have had 2 weekly blood tests done now at week 4 and week 5 and have found out my hcg level is not where it should be... it's slow rising.

Week 4 HCG (1 Feb) 1128
Week 5 HCG (8 Feb) 7119

My supporting oestrogen / progesterone levels are all fine but my HCG has not risen as high as expected putting it in the slow rising category. The fertility clinic think it's ok as it's still rising as as my first test (week 4) was so strong they are not worried as it's still within range... after much googling though I am!!!

The clinic won't allow me to have another blood test before Monday (when it's been a week) so they have a good pattern to show what's happening - which peeves me as having another blood test taken say 3days after the first would show me if it's going up nicely still (albeit slowly) or it's not going up much which shows a problem (possibly a sac with no baby in it)...

What should I do? Should I call the clinic and demand an interim blood test this week or ultrasound or just sit back, try and be patient and wait until Monday?

What do people think? Is this normal?

Cheers
