A member asked:

Dpo/hcg levels: 14=233; 15=389; 16=683; 19=2821; 21=4643; 22=6533; 24=9596 (86 hrs doub. time). can high early hcg = earlier decline in doubling time?

Not concerning: As normal pregnancies progress, HCG levels rise and the HCG doubling time increases. Your best indicator of a healthy pregnancy at this point will be the fetal heart beat. We usually see the first fetal heart beat at an HCG level of around 10, 000. So you should be able to get all the information you need during your next ultrasound (soon?). Good luck!

Not really!: The 'doubling time' is not strict, it's a rough guide. Normal pregnancies may only go up by 2/3 in 2 days not 'twice.' furthermore each level is accurate to about +/- 15%, they are not 100%. Your numbers look normal, i wouldn't wear out your calculator doing this kind of thing.
