slow rising hcg...could this still be a successful pregnancy?


My hcg has been as follows:
3w 1d: 905
3w 3d: 1477
3w 4d: 1720
4w 3d: 3477
4w 6d: 4748
5w 1d: 5662

I am very concerned about how slowly my levels are rising. I had an ultrasound done at 4w 6d with the hopes of ruling out an ectopic, but NOTHING was seen on the u/s. No spotting/bleeding. Some very slight cramping but I remember having this with my other two pregnancies as well.

I have an ultrasound scheduled for monday and they are hoping to see something then (5w 6d). I have having some pretty severe nausea and other pregnancy symptoms.

Anyone gone through anything similar? I need some support to help get me through until my appointment on monday.

Thanks in advance!

I had two more hcg draws.

5W4d 6044
6W2d 7584

Had an ultrasound on 7/3 and they saw a gestational sac measuring exactly as it should. Had another ultrasound today and nothing was seen. The sac is gone. The doc thinks it is an ectopic pregnancy and it suggesting a methotrexate injection. I am so scared and sad.

Im almost on the same boat.. My hcg is rising but doubleling as it should, so as my doc says. Im 6wks 6dys. My 1 hcg was 2400. 3 dys later 4300 ,but the after that it just went up by less than a 1,000. Ive had 3 mc 7 yrs ago. So my doc was very concern that i was possible mc agian to do my hcg since ive had 4 test done and it was going up but not like my doc said it had to be. So she send for u/s 6/27 and i had a vgnl u/s and my bby was there with a hb of 107. When i saw my doc that same day she said the hb was to low so she did another hcg and it was still not doubling just rising so she told i was mc.. I went to a u/s today and my bby has grown and hb @128. My doc was surprised but she said i have threaten abortion. I have faith that my bby is going to be fine. So dont.loose ur faith cuz its possible to have slow rising hcg and have a healthy pregnancy.. I will keep u updated when i have my next u/s on tues..

They didn't see anything on my u/s until I hit 6 weeks. With your levels increasing, it suggests that yes you are. Good luck on Monday!! :)
