Low rising HCG

My hcg quants are rising - but slowly! and they aren't coming close to doubling. Went from 417 to about 600 from wed. to today, Friday. I am losing hope for this preganncies, and already I have had 2 miscarriages.

Does anyone have a similar experience which ended in good news? I am so discourage but want to his baby badly.

I don't even accurately know how far along I am either - I think just starting the 5th week. They need an U/S to tell for usre - but my quants are too low - they want to wait until Oct. 7th!!!!


This waiting is going to kill me

Hey Jill,

I just went through the same thing. My levels were doubling every 72 hours and then in a one week period we went from 816 to 1330.I was 6 weeks pg. Unfortunately there was something really wrong with the pg. My re(reproductive endocrinologist)put me up on u/s just to check and we had almost no amniotic fluid but amazingly enough there was a heart beat. We waited a week to see if things would turn around, but they didn't.My hcg went from 1330 to 1770. I started to miscarry three days ago(at 7 weeks 4 days). Very sad and I wish I had better news. I just have not seen or heard of a level that rose that slow making it(and trust me for that week I looked and asked everyone on these boards and every other one).

I hope the best for you and pray for a miracle for you and your little one

Love,

Laura
