Molar Pregnancy

I am 5 weeks pregnant and have had some bleeding so the doctors have been checking my hcg levels every 48 hours.  They are increasing, but not doubling every 48 hours like they should.  So now the doctor wants to do a biopsy to see if it's a molar pregnancy.  Has anyone had these symptoms or a molar pregnancy before?

Hmmm......I was under the impression that the hCG levels in a molar pregnancy are exceptionally high. Yours aren't even doubling, so I can't help you out.
