Is Slow Rising HCG Level During Pregnancy A Matter Of Concern?

Hi I had my LMP on 14/3/18. On 12/4/18 I had my first beta hcg test and the value came as 35.75. Again on 16/4/2018 I had my second beta test and the value came as 84.05. Again on 19/4/2018 I had my third beta hcg test and the value came as 245. 4th hcg test I had on 25/4/2018 and the value came as 715. Today again on 28/4/2018 I had my beta test and the value came as 946. The hcg is not doubling but rising slowly. Is it normal . Is thr any thing to worry. I had an ultrasound also. In scanning we saw a 3mm gestational Sac. The gestational age was 4 weeks to 5 weeks.

Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Please don't panic.

There are many reasons for slow rise in blood beta HCG levels. Delayed conception is most common.

I will suggest you to get USG done after 2 weeks to assess gestational age and viability of pregnancy.
Instead of repeated beta HCG tests it's better to get USG done after 2 weeks.

Please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for Tablet Natural micronized progesterone twice a day for 2 weeks.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
