Hello,
About 85 per cent of normal pregnancies, the level of the hormone hCG will double every two to three days during the first four weeks of pregnancy.
When the hCG level is increasing but not doubling at least every three days, this may be a warning sign of an impending miscarriage, but not necessarily.
Please follow with frequent blood tests and ultrasound for further evaluation. Please consult your gynaecologist she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Penchila Prasad Kandikattu , Internal Medicine Specialist
