Re: hcg levels and pregnancy

Thank you very much for your answer. What troubles me is not the absolute value of hCG but the increase rate which is rather high (higher than double every two days). Could this increased rate of hCG mean something like molar pregnancy or something else ? I would expect the hCG value to be probably lower.
