Hcg and progesterone levels ..
I am approx 5 weeks pregnant . I had two blood draws in week 4. My progesterone was 28 which my dr said was great. My hcg was 171 which she also thought was perfect for the timing. A little less than 48 hours later I had my hcg repeated and it was only 213. They want me to go again for one more hcg to see if it jumped. Everything I have researched says that one reading of progesterone over 20 indicates an intrauterine pregnancy but the hcg not doubling is an obvious sign of ectopic . Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any insight ?

I had to go every 48 hrs for a blood draw 2 weeks straight. I had a set of twins but lost one. I still have 1 miracle completely draining me but she had made it to 23 weeks and praying to full term. They thought I had 1 ectopic which would've made it a Heteratopic pregnancy. My right tube was swollen the size of 2 fingers and was in excruciating pain. Miss thing wanted to give me meds to abort and go to surgery. I refused since I had no bleeding I pulled out my phone and threatened to call 911 lol if she didn't get out my way so to calm me down she got another Dr who will deliver my miracle by C-section. He made me promise any bleeding to call an ambulance. I said I'll only promise if you give me a script for steroids, safe for pregnancy and treat inflammation! He agreed and 2 days later no pain and I was walking. I was 5 weeks pregnant then. Do not worry BC as bad and rare as what happened to me a miracle is meant to be or not. Prayer for you.

I did have blood and lot more than normal fluid in my pelvis and abdomen but me and my belly had a talk and I said I didn't abort whom is left to grow, I toughed out the pain, so give me a break. I've had so many issues with the pregnancy but baby still proves she's a fighter. If it is ectopic the pain will not let you miss out on begging for a hospital. Hope all turns out well.
