Once over 5000-6000 they can take up to 4 days to double. Your doctor should if explained this to you. Nothing to worry about here. GL enjoy

Those are pretty high HCG numbers for only 5 weeks. I bet you're ok.

Mine didn't double either. Nurse said that once they are in the 1000s they don't always double so I wouldn't worry. The ultrasound still is a good way to ease the mind though. I'm trying to figure out how I can get one again before my 12 week one lol.

When it reaches a certain number it takes longer to double. Once it hits 5000 (ish) it should take closer to 96 hours to double. There are some good hcg level calculators out there. Try googling and seeing if you can find one. That should help!
