I am meant to be 8+1 pregnant according to lmp and have felt off for last few days and now some cramping and back ache, hcg has only gone from 33901 last Tues to 41300 this monday so 6 days between the tests which makes doubling time 500+ hrs.
am hoping to phone epu in morning and see what they say but it deffo doesnt sound good does it!
i have had several miscarriages in past hence why i still do hcg etc, also am on progesterone suppositories, baby aspirin and clexane injections because of it.

HCG stopd doubling around 6ish weeks, it still rises but not as quick. Then between weeks 8 and 10 it slows and plateaus. So I don't think your HCG levels are a concern.

HCG tends to stop doubling and hit a plateau when levels hit 6,000-100,000, around 8-11 weeks of pregnancy.

Has the person taking your bloods expressed any concern? I doubt EPU will see you because of this. Pay for a private reassurance scan if you need.

I have the bloods through medichecks which is a company that just processes bloods and gives results.
have had some bad cramping since 11.30pm last night and also back pain and feeling like the room is spinning sometimes too. My resting heart rate has also dropped down to pre pregnancy levels. I have lost 7 babies and am high risk so am hoping epu will see me, gonna phone them within next hr

Unfortunately it was as expected and baby stopped growing when hcg stopped doubling
