HCG bloods. Does this looks alright? Confused.

So I think I am 5+4. I track with OPKs
HCG was being taken every 2 days and was rising but on the slow side.
How is this looking?
I'm confused by the percentages.
Nausea has started to creep in but I daren't let myself think I'm properly pregnant yet (multiple miscarriages, I am 41 too)
Scan booked for May 15th.

Anyone? Does anyone understand the HCG percentage expectations to give me a clue if I'm in normal range or to expect a possible miscarriage again?

I'm not expert, but I think this looks ok.

The average HCG doubling time is 48 hours. Yours is 52.7 hours, which is marginally longer but likely to be totally within the normal range.

They say double every 48 hours but I was told it's not an exact science more like a guideline. Your results seem like so far so good to me. It's really hard after multiple miscarriages, this was me a year ago 6th pregnancies in 2 years. I will be honest and say the anxiety did not let up until my daughter was born. Counselling helped with coping strategies, as did reflexology and long walks x

Thank you @Happydays2025 and @SayDoWhatNow

I heard doubling every 2 to 3 days was about right.
No way to know if it'll be ok or not. Hopefully we will hear a heartbeat and the measurements will be good at the scan in a few weeks.

I'm on progesterone and baby asprin now so that's all I can do.
