Concerned about slow rising hcg levels

[Madison96]

Hello,
This will be my first time posting here, I am currently very nervous as I found out last Wednesday I am around 4/5 weeks pregnant,
however due to a previous ectopic pregnancy, I have been having some tests and I am booked in for a scan this coming week.
I am currently very concerned as I had two blood tests 48 hours apart, my first hcg levels were measuring as 5,138 IU/L and 48 hours later had only increased to 6,285 IU/L, so my levels are not doubling as normal.
The doctor has told me these results are 'suboptimal' and to wait for my scan.

I think I am just looking for anyone who is willing to share similar stories or offer any reassurance, I feel I am expecting the worst and I am so anxious about my upcoming scan.

I am sorry to hear it has not doubled. Its awful having to wait for scans. Hugs.

Thank you so much, it's horrible waiting!

Hi @Madison96 sorry you're going through this
When is your next scan?

I'm in the same boat as you, my scan is on weds. Time is dragging.

At least HCG is rising for you, let me know how you do Xxxx

I really hope your scan went well. I know how nerve-wracking it is waiting and the anxiety that comes with not knowing, luckily everything seems to be progressing however conception was much earlier than originally thought xx
