Your levels are supposed to double every 48-72 hours, so you are fine.

Don't worry about the numbers doubling or not. The importand thing is to go up. My Re says that are women who have a low HCG level and have healthy babies. No one knows for sure if they double every 24 or 48 Hr. Every women is different with different numbers. But it's good to relax and if possible for you to stay in bed rest as much as you can specially now that you bleed a little. Good luck and God bless your little angel. Jenny

by Brown Eyed Gurl, Dec 19, 2007 11:06AM
whew I'm feeling better getting all the resassurance from you all and I looked up on the internet and read the same thing so I'm trying to breath......I have all next week off so I plan on taking it easy......

by prayin4miraclebaby, Dec 19, 2007 11:09AM
HI Brandi, I am sooo glad that you're okay...the numbers look great even its not after 48 hrs yet...sooo great!! so you can calm down now ..

You know if I were you I will take a whole week or 2 until you pass 8 weeks... I am sure  that I will be doing that next time I get pregnant.. I will take whole 1st trimester.. only if its me.. he he

I know that laying down is helping a lot... although the doctor doesnt really recommend it.. But I guess we just have to follow our guts,  our " feelings"  so take care of your self..and the baby..
