Blood levels look fine Anthea - doubling is only a rough guide, as long as you see a good increase it's fine. Doubling times, as kelz mentioned, can be up to 72 hrs (and some ladies go longer than that) :)

When do our bodies ever do anything according to text book anyway?
Hopefully time flies super fast till your scan then HCGs mean nothing and you can have some relief

Can go both ways. You can get crap results & have a healthy pg and you can start with good results & mc.
My last mc I told you about earlier today I got hcg done because I suspected I was going to mc & result was 74 at 5.5 weeks.
4th pg I got fantastic hcg & saw heart beat at 6 weeks then hcg stopped rising & mc'd. Probably not the answer you want but just my experience & the reason why I didn't get hcgs done this time.

That's OK rd I googled and got the same answer! You would have to think something would be wrong with Baby to loose it after seeing a heart beat ah! It's pretty damn cruel isn't it

These HCG tests are hideous aren't they? Mummystheword - from what I have read that is still well within the normal range at 4 weeks?
With my first pregnancy my levels were pretty low, to the point where my doctor cautioned me to be prepared. I was having threatened miscarriages right until week 16, not fun, but my daughter was born no problem. Second pregnancy had a great HCG at 4 weeks but must have miscarried not long after because was back to 10 by the time they actually found the missed miscarriage at 8 weeks.
Antheawren my doctor got an urgent test so he had my result today, 686? At 4 weeks 2 days I guess thats in the ok range, but like I said, didn't mean much for me last time.
I think we are all going through our own private hell!

That's an awesome rate mount and mummystheword - mount yours must be off the chart!
Hcgs do your Head in don't they yet they are so hard to stop as it does give you reassurance for a small amount of time even if you freak getting them and waiting for the results!

Welcome aboard the crazy train Mount & mummystheword 😄 you both sound like your on track at least on paper.
This seriously is one hell of a journey yet look how many of us are doing it. Desire outweighs the fear.
I started watching the secret life of babies & gave up half way through because it was too cute! nearly cried watching a baby being breast Fed. They really are fascinating.
My darling boy has been very loving lately. Bless him ❤ he must know I need a little extra TLC

Thanks for the welcome ladies. Honestly with baby number 1 i was just easy breezy didnt even realise i was preg until 6 weeks. And now its all hcgs and putting my feet up and all sorts. Paranoid about getting past the point that i miscarried at last time not that ill be out of the woods but its like a milestone in my head.

Welcome and congratulations Mount and mummystheword, it's great you are 4 weeks and 2 weeks as well Mount. I will be following your progress.
I don't like these HCG tests I would rather not know rather than having the stress of it all. I will have to have them weekly through FA though. I am not looking forward to my test on Friday

Also Kellsz I understand your paranoia about food poisoning. If I am concerned about anything I always take an extra probiotic or 2 to help support the immune systems ability to fight the onslaught of bugs.
