HCG???????

I had my hcg levels checked on monday and it was 8021. I then had them checked today and it was 12075. It is going up but it is not doubling so what does this mean?

Hi
I had the same problem. I was given a shot of Beta HCG twice in a week till 20 weeks. My doc said it was due to low level of hormones. Good Luck, check with your doc.

Hi - technically for a 'viable' pregnancy the numbers should double every 48-72 hours, depending on how far along you are.  That said, my numbers didn't double and i was told to expect to miscarry, but i didn't!  So, things might not always be textbook - try not to worry about it and stay positive, its good that they're increasing.
