HCG LEVELS

hell everyone i am 6 weeks pregnant..i had my blood drawn last tuesday and then again 48 hours later..i called the dr office and they said it only doubled 60%.I asked them if that was bad and they said it could be too soon tell and told me go in today and get another blood test.I also had 2 misscarry's before and found out that i had a rh gene that caused me to get blood clots to keep my baby from getting blood flow.so they had to give me shots called lovenox to help thin my blood..i really hope they double and nothing is wrong.I still feel pregnant..breats feel sore and tender.certain foods make me nautious and my pants feel tight.I have an ultrasound sept 13,2011.so i hope they are doubling and everything is doing okay

well they took more blood yesterday they still wasn't doubling after 72 hours they had me come in for a ultrasound to make sure the baby was in the fetus instead of anywhere else.they ruled out and eptic pregnancy because the sac ws in the uterus.but they did an vaginal ultrasound but they said since i was only 6 weeks it was too early to see a heartbeat yet..they have me coming back in for the next two weeks for ultrasounds..me and my husband always keep our guards up because of the last two miscarriages i had but the reason i had them was because i have this gens rh factor that causes to get blood clots.but i am taking rogam shots for that..i just hope everything works out okay.

Do you know what your levels were? I read somewhere that once your levels are 6000+ it can take 4 days to double and that's when ultrasounds become much more important :)

I wouldn't panic over the levels every woman has different numbers on increases of HCG.  Try to just relax and take extra care of yourself during this time.  Definitely keep us posted there have been many other women with the same issue.
