Hi ladies,
I am back again! I would love some input as I have been reading very scary stories online, and I am shocked my doctor is not concerned. Brief background - I live in Canada where it is actually quite difficult to get any special medical assistance. I found a new doctor to handle this pregnancy as my last two (both ended in MC) were handled by a walk-in clinic doctor. Anyway, I requested HCG monitoring following the last two losses and my numbers are not doubling every 48 hours as I hear they should - they are doubling about every 73 hours instead. The doctor was not concerned and told me to wait for ultrasound but I have seen similar numbers end up ectopic! I don't understand why she doesn't care about the 48 hour rule...
Should I try and seek another opinion (possibly call around to OB GYNs)?
Jan 5 - 1233 HCG (5 weeks 1 day)
Jan 7 - 1942 HCG (5 weeks 3 days)
Thank you ladies! I am a little scared right now.
