A member asked:

Are there any reasons other than an ectopic pregnancy that my hcg wouldnt be doubling. it was 828 on tuesday and 945 on friday?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Yes, several: There are other possibilities, but that doesn't mean it couldn't still be ectopic. An abnormal intrauterine pregnancy (which is way more common than ectopic) could also do exactly that: you absolutely must have the level checked again in a few days.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
