    HCG Levels not doubling every 48hrs

    Hi everyone,

    Has anyone else had HCG levels that don't double every 48hrs? My last 2 bt results have not had the magic numbers doubling, and it's worrying me.
    On the 17/10 - 621 Then they more than doubled to:
    19/10 - 1303 Then they didn't quite double for the next two tests:
    21/10 - 2011 (Scan on same day dated me at 5w 1d with gest sac & yolk sac)
    28/10 - 10677 (Would've been at 6w 1d)

    They are still going up and they are fitting into the right dating categories I think, but they aren't doubling every 2 days - is that normal or should I be worried? I am having another scan tomorrow, I'm guessing I should be able to see a heartbeat?

    Any ideas and info would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

    dont stress hun - they should double roughly every 48-72 hours, not necessarily every 2 days

    I am not an expert, but what you have there looks pretty good

    they're still climbing - that's a good sign. the "average" is to double every 24-72 hours - but it is only an average - every individual is different.

    good luck with your scan

    Mine climbed more slowly that they "should", which gave us a stressful few weeks as they thought I may have an ectopic pregnancy, but in the end all was well. Good luck tomorrow!
