Hugs to you. That sounds really stressful and confusing! I don't think that doc knows what he's talking about. Our hcg levels don't always double! I remember with my now 11 year old daughter, my hcg #s weren't increasing like they 'should' at the beginning of my pregnancy and I was so scared. But everything turned out totally fine, and she came out a 9 lb healthy baby girl!

So try not to panic, even tho it's understandable to be confused with the info you've been given plus your back pain. I bet everything will turn out just fine, and hopefully you'll get some reassuring answers very soon. Keep us (me) posted, and I'll be sending positive vibes your way. Take care.

That was very helpful and kept me positive at my appointment today. I had my blood draw and i still did not double. The doctor told me that this pregnancy is not healthy and that I will most likely miscarry but asked me what I wanted to do. I wanted a ultrasound so I am getting one tomorrow evening. I then asked what happens if the ultrasound looks good, and he pretty much blew me off. He said the only way that my pregnancy is going to turn out okay is if I was pregnant with twins and lost one. And after reading about vanishing twins, i think that may be the case, since they thought i may be pregnant with them in the beginning. I'm just staying positive, if i was going to miscarry, why would my numbers still go up? He didnt seem to want to answer that question for me either. So tomorrow will tell. Fingers crossed I see baby!

Was just wondering how everything went? I just wanted to let you know that once your hcg levels get so high they won't double every 48 hours. Usually every 72-96 hours. If everything turned out fine I would look for a new Dr if you can. Hope things were good!
