Slow rising beta hcg, mild cramps on the left side and no pregnancy symptoms. Problem?
I had my first beta hcg test on 12-29-2014 and it was 199. On 12-31-2014 I had the second test and my level was 294. The nurse who called said they expected my number to be at least 315. When I did the calculations, there was only a 47% increase. Most of the sites I've visited say there should be a 60% increase between the 1st and 2nd test.
The nurse did not sound optimistic and did not want to bring the word "biochemical" pregnancy into the conversation. I don't have any symptoms of pregnancy. My breast are still tender but it is slowly going away a bit. I don't have any nausea, no tiredness...nothing. I thought as your hcg increased your pregnancy symptoms would increase as well. Or am I making that up?
Any help? I'm starting to spin out.

memberI am almost 8 weeks now and everything seems to be going well. My HCG initially did not double either but eventually caught up to the 48 hour doubling time. I had no pregnancy symptoms whatsoever until now. Get another set of HCG tests done to find out what is going on. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.
