Hcg levels not doubling - help!

LinaDee · 11/09/2014 18:30

I have been having blood tests this week to check my hcg levels and they have been rising but not doubling they were (approx)
Friday 6000
Sunday 11000
Tuesday 15000
Today (Thursday) 19000

Has anyone else experienced this? I have a scan tomorrow but an driving myself insane feeling up and down.
I just don't know what is going to happen.
I suffered an MMC in June and just don't want to go through another miscarriage.
Trying to be positive but really struggling.
Any words, either way to help prepare me?

Hi Lina,

Totally understand how you are feeling. I was in and out of the early pregnancy unit in the first trimester. Are you able to go to an EPU tomorrow for a reassurance scan?

It depends how many weeks you are.

Wishing the best for you.

Lily

Hi lily,

I will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I had a scan last Friday which is being repeated tomorrow.
I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and still had a healthy pregnancy?

I didn't have my HCg levels monitored, so I'm afraid I wouldn't know. Yours are going in the right direction though. I'm afraid I don't know that much about it. I hope the scan goes ok tomorrow.

LinaDee - Had a look through some threads on other forums. Looks like it really could go either way - some people reporting positive outcomes, others not so good. As difficult as it is, try not to worry about it tomorrow. We're all wishing you the best x

Thanks for looking plinky!
I suppose the scan is the only way I will know.
Wouldn't it be great to fast forward pregnancy and just have our babies here.

Same thing happened to me and I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant through ivf. Got in a panic and posted on here for advice as I'd also had a mmc before struggling to conceive again. Was told when they reach a certain level they may not double. Mine were around the 4000 mark one day and 48 hours later had only gone up to just over 6000. Went in the next day for a scan (5 and a half weeks I think) and they warned me they probably wouldn't see much at such an early stage but there was a little heartbeat flashing away! Hope that helps.

Thank you so much Yorkie! I really appreciate your post.
You've really given me hope! Since my last post I've had a 6 week scan and saw a wee heartbeat but read so many accounts where people had mc'd even after that so I've been so on edge and still worried.
Congratulations on your wee baby! Enjoy the last few weeks of your pregnancy, I hope everything goes well for you!
