HCG doubling

Does an HCG HAVE to double within 48 hours to have a viable pregnancy?

Mine went from 50954 to 55018 within 48 hours

Doctor tells me she’s concerned but I keep reading so much different things.

If you’ve had a similar experience with a positive outcome can you please share.

After 6000 it stops doubling for most people, at that point an increase is still good. I would not be worried with those numbers unless you are having other concerning symptoms. After 10wks or so the numbers start to level out.

Thursday will be here before you know it, your numbers are higher than mine were but I had a similar rise around 7wks, 28wks now. Try to breath, pregnancy is stressful!

Thank you Erika , it gives me a piece of mind My mind feels like it’s gonna explode I can’t stop thinking the worst Even tho after reading those HCG levels and seeing a tiny bit of a rise I’m still so anxious from Thursday to come

Your numbers are in the normal range for 7-8wks if that is helpful.

I had an ectopic pregnancy a few years back. My numbers weren’t doubling, I was in pain, and I was spotting. I’ve had a baby since then and I am currently pregnant with our second girl. This pregnancy I was worried because my numbers weren’t doubling, but my doctor did not seem concerned. I am 37w6d today and baby is doing great. Have you felt any other symptoms? It sucks, but only time will tell and until you see baby on ultrasound, it’s going to be a stressful waiting game.

Congrats! So glad to hear this pregnancy is doing great and all the best to you! I have no symptoms at all, no bleeding or cramping or any of that. I’m going tomorrow for my ultrasound She was just worried that number didn’t double. She said it did go up but didn’t double I will just have to wait it out till tomorrow and hope for the bed 🥹❤️

Once you're over 6000, doubling doesn't matter. Just that it's going up

How many weeks are you? At a certain point hcg slows down. But early on yes it should double unfortunately:(

I went for my ultra nov 24 thinking I was 7w5d The tech said it looked more 5-6 weeks and to rebook for a clearer image So I don’t know how many weeks But my last period was sept 30 and I have no bleeding or pain so I’m confused
