Two days later, May 16 (6 weeks 1 day) it had not doubled -it was only 23.000 . It was cause for concern and I had a vaginal sonogram on May 20 which showed a heart beat of 125 and mesurements of fetus at 6 weeks 1 day. (in reality 6 weeks 5 days from LMP on April 3). Last HCG dated 4 days later, May 20. HCG was up to 45,450 and progesterone was at 22.2 The levels are not doubling every 48-72 hours. Should I be concerned? My next appointment is May 28 with a doctor. It has been a nurse practionner up until this point.
