View Profile | | slow rising HCG « on: 03/19/08, 13:23 » | Reply with quote Dr Jacobs, I have seen other post where you have said that the HCG should at least double every 48 hours..... My first HCG was 64 and my second HCG 48 hours later was 95.  I was told by my RE that this was good and that there is no cause for concern.  They are going to do another HCG in 48 more hours. Could you please help me out.....everyone says something different.  Perhaps there is not just one answer? Should I be worried with these numbers or do I still have hope???

Good luck. Report to moderator   Logged Ladybug Full Member Offline Posts: 41 I'm a llama!

Good luck.
