HCG not doubling! Possible miscarry? Help!!

At 6 weeks my Hcg was 3580, 72 hours later it was 5240. I had an ultrasound 4days after and saw a heartbeat (7 weeks) at 126 bpm. I am not feeling very confident that this pregnancy will be viable due to the low rise in Hcg. I am not bleeding etc but I miscarried at 7weeks in Dec and I wasn't bleeding then either. Anyone else have a similar story????

Try not to worry! But look at this chart! Once your levels get to the 1200-6000 range it can take 72-96 hours to double.

I think after the hcg reached 2000 it can take up to 4 days to double. It rises slower. It did rise, so that's a good sign. It's also a good sign you had a heartbeat. I would wait and see what your next ultra sound shows. Try not to stress, although I know that's hard.

Yes I have a very close friend who had a similar experience 3 times in a row, she never bleeds HCG lvls just go down and heart beat stops. Best advice although I understand how hard it may be is to hunk positive and not get wrapped up in what could be or go wrong. Any little stress is unneeded stress for baby and does impact a lot. Best of luck I will pray your baby shows you some more HCG :)

Thanks. I know it isn't looking great and I am trying to not get too attached due to the previous miscarriage and heartache. I am 8 weeks now and see my OB this afternoon. Not sure what's next, perhaps just wait and see......
