Q: Last Beta doubling time slowed down considerably? Should I worry? Please take a look x

1st beta 4w+0d = 124 (Nov/3)
2nd beta 4w+4d =1056 (Nov/7) doubling time 31 hours
3rd beta 5w+0d = 4547 (Nov/10) doubling time 34 hours
4th beta 5w+3d = 12 510 (Nov/13) doubling time 47 hours
5th beta 6w+0d = 20 885 (Nov/17) doubling time 124 hours

Is the last beta that worries me ...doubling time 124 hours? I understand the doubling time slows down but 124 hours? What do you think? Is this normal?
Thanks xxx

Also your doctor told you to stay away for a good reason-you should not have stressed yourself out and done it anyway!

No doubling time slows as you approach six weeks. Why doctors even check it after five weeks is beyond me. It really doesn't matter anymore-what matters is seeing a healthy baby with a heartbeat on the ultrasound between six and seven weeks.

You do know that after a certain level HCG does take longer to build. Also after so many weeks your doctor shouldn't check it so often. With as high as it is and if your not spotting or having horrible cramps I wouldn't worry much about it.

I just checked it out and I looked at the single pregnancy or twin pregnancy you are actually perfect and in a normal beta range for a single pregnancy for a twin pregnancy it is still possible and if you haven't cramped or your not bleeding I think your ok the more your prego the slower the doubling time is I think you good:)
