Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:

hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

    * 3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
    * 4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
    * 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
    * 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
    * 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
    * 9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
    * 13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
    * 17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
    * 25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
    * Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
    * Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman’s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

There is more info on the site as well....

It sounds exactly like my situation.  In order to get a real answer you need to wait until you are 7 weeks (right after the new year) and get an ultrasound.  I had the bleeding/spotting, and also had hcg that did not double, but at 7 weeks we did see the heartbeat and now have a beautiful, healthy, 3month old little boy.  My hcg only went up 20% and my doctor told me to expect a miscarriage.  She said she would not do any more blood work because if it didnt double the first time it probably wouldnt double and it would just worry me.  The way I see it after my experience is as long as it is rising, there is reason to have hope.  Obviously it worked out for me and I hope for the same for you!
