Slow Rising HcG levels

[heather_nichole]

My HcG levels are rising but slowly.  I found out I was pregnant two weeks ago.  Here's how the reading have gone:

2/26: 86
3/1: 161
3/4: 224

My doctors are saying it's either ectopic or a Blighted Ovum and of course I've read both miracle and horror stories about slow rising HcG levels.  I had another blood draw today and I go in tomorrow to discuss with my OB (I've only seen my PA).  They think I'm only 3-6 weeks along and I do have a history of ovarian cysts and cervical cancer (not HPV related).  I'm only 23!!!  This is my first pregnancy and they told me it would be near impossible for me to even GET pregnant!!!

Just looking for some answers...maybe questions to ask my OB tomorrow??

Thanks!

Congrats I am so glad that things turned out okay for you. Sometimes in the beginning it doesn't always seem to go how we know it should go (mine were more that quadrupaling and I thought for sure twins) but low and behold only one fast growing bean!

Good news!!! Just went in today and my HCG more than doubled!!! My OB said that because the levels were taken so early that they wouldn't double as quickly.  I couldn't be happier!!!  She thinks I'm about 6 weeks and I'll feel better after the ultrasound on the 22nd but yay!!!!

I was told after getting fertility treatment with my DD that I would not be able to get pregnant on my own.. while on the birth control patch - had sex once with my hubby in one month - found out 8 weeks later I was pregnant.. IT CAN HAPPEN!!!  Have faith - think positive... there are slow growers..Good Luck
