hcg levels in beginning of pregnancy

[2bellaangels]

Hi all,

So I'm trying to see if anyone had to constantly repeat their beta tests in the early stages of their pregnancy.  My numbers are going up ever 48 hours, but they aren't doubling.  They go up about 83-90% each time, but don't double. My doctor hasn't done an ultrasound yet because she's waiting for my hcg levels to reach 1500. I guess I'm looking for reassurance that this can be normal and end up with a healthy baby.  I've miscarried before, but my levels were going great then,  his heart just stopped one day at 12 weeks.  I'm trying not to worry and stress myself out, but if anyone has gone through something similar and had a baby go full term still PLEASE let me know.

Mine were very low, and I got concerned I wasn't pregnant or lost baby. But I just found out so early that my levels climbed within a couple days

I was 440 at 4 weeks, 3300 at 5 weeks and then 38000 at 6 weeks. Had a scan at 7.5 weeks to confirm viable pregnancy due to previous miscarriage. Im now 32 weeks with my baby girl! When you go into get your results ask them for a print out as it should list what the expected HCG range is for each week up to 12. They do this in Australia at least.

My levels were low at first. Had first ultra at 8 weeks and babies heart beat was super strong.

I go in tomorrow for my 6th beta test also. I feel like that's a lot.
