Hcg levels

[vixenmonroe]

I was tested on the 9th for hcg and it was 278 but I was tested on the 13th and it was only 284 is there something wrong with my baby already?

I really think you should get another hcg test so you have an definitive answer.  It would not be affected by stress and should have been over 1000.

I think long as its going up that should be good right? I'm hoping its just being stubborn. Can stress affect hcg levels?

but four days is quite some time for your hcg levels to have only gone up 6, when they do usually double. you may not have miscarried yet but something doesn't seem to be right

[vixenmonroe]

I don't think I have miscarried. I read some peoples levels don't rise as fast as others.

Your doctor should have discussed this with you when you got the results.  In a normal pregnancy, hcg levels at least double every 48 hours.  If they are not doubling that means the fetus isn't growing and you have miscarried. I'm sorry.
