HCG level doesn't double

[osamah_alharbi]

My wife had a heavy bleeding on Monday January, 3. I took her to the ER, when they did Beta HCG Quantative test. The result of the test was 30,000. They decided to keep her in the hospital under monitoring for 48 hours. The bleeding actually stopped and there was no bleeding while in the hospital, only the bleeding that happened at home. At the the time I got her to ER, they also did Ultrasound, when they could see the sac. After 48 hours in hospital they repeat Beta HCG test and found 35,000. Now my question is: Is it true that we should expect miscarriage as HCG doesn't double, or there is a hope that pregnancy will continue?

Well is very possible you will, with the levels not going up much, BUT not nessasarily All you can really do now is wait.

At what point of pregnancy is she?  Did they see the embryo or just a sac, and  if only a sac, were they unconcerned because she is too early to see more?  When the numbers get higher, they stop doubling (that is normal), but I don't know if that is to be expected at 30,000 or if it only comes along when they are a lot higher.  It is a little surprising to me that with an hCG count of 30,000 they did not see an embryo, unless, of course, she is only in her 4th week or so.
