Hi all. A blood test on Jan 28th, 2015 showed my HCG was 8 and the doctor told me I was pregnant. I was so excited. I'm 30 years old and my husband and I want a baby so badly. I had irregular period from PCOS since I was a teenager, but the doctor put me on metformin and pregnatude and I ovulated and got pregnant on our first try!
To monitor me, they tested my hcg 2 days later and it was 35. They were happy with that. Then 3 days after they I was testes and it was only a 71. They told me is was a boarder line increase and they wanted to test again 2 days later (tomorrow) because they should be 'much higher than that by now'. I'm only 4 weeks and 3 days.
I'm very confused because from 35-71 in 73 hours, that is doubling....so why are they worried about it?
I'm stressing out and crying. I can't handle this.
Any one know if I should really be worried? Why doesn't the fact that it doubled matter? Now I am starting to feel like I am having mild back and ovary pain, but don't know if I'm just so stressed that I'm imagining it.
