HCG not doubling, 5 weeks 6 days pregnant

7 replies

Hi, I’m 5 weeks 6 days pregnant and I’ve been having on off bleeding for a week.
this is my 5th transfer with 2 early losses and I’m freaking out. My HCG seems to have stopped doubling and I have a scan booked for Monday. Looking for some reassurance to get me through the weekend.
my HCG draws are:
16dpo- 203
17dpo- 385
19dpo- 1065
21dpo- 2372
22dpo- 4707
27dpo- 12585

Hi op. Understand the anxiety, your numbers look lovely. At this early stage there is such a huge range for "good" numbers.
What has doctor said about them?
As anxious as it is, there isn't anything you can do about it, so try to occupy yourself and good luck for your scan

It's not double, it's double every 2-3 days.
17-19 - doubled
19-21 - doubled
21-24 -27 quadrupled, so almost certainly doubling every 3 days still.

They just said it’s not as high as they would like it to be but that they weren’t overly concerned. They said the scan is the only thing that will tell us what’s going on. Which I completely know but it’s hard when you’re bleeding and got cramps to not think the worst!

Yes I suppose you’re right. It’s just the 22-27 is only doubling every 86 hours which doesn’t seem good.

Your numbers are absolutely fine, the rate of doubling slows down dramatically when you are in the thousands. And then the hcg will actually go down in the second and third trimester. Good luck with your scan!

Thank you. I’m pretty sure I’ve lost the pregnancy. I had blood on Thursday and I have period pains 24/7 and the symptoms I did have are gone.
feeling pretty devastated x
