Hcg not doubling

Tamara

Last week I found out I was pregnant and according to my calendar I was 3 weeks and a couple days with I found out. I. Allies the doctor Bc I was having some spotting all week. They brought me in that Friday for blood work. She called my on Friday and said that my hcg was 42.6 which was good for how early I was, but she wanted me back on Monday to check again. I didn't have any spotting all weekend. Monday my results came in and they were only 52.4. My doctor now wants to see me today and talk maybe even repeat the blood work and do an ultrasound. I have no idea what to expect. I'm only 4 weeks and 2 days today. I couldn't sleep last night and I'm super depressed. I read that in some cases taking a hormone supplement may help keep he pregnancy viable, and in other cases that everything was normal and had boosts in hcg a little later. I want to be prepared.
