HCG levels not doubling?

Question

I am about 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. My first hcg test was 40 at 12 dpo. At 16 dpo, it went up to 151, which my doctor said was good. At 23 dpo, it only went up to 600. My doctor is concerned and set me up for an ultrasound this afternoon. She wants to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. I hardly slept last night and I am so upset. I'm not thinking I'm going to get good news. I don't think I will have any answers today because my hormone level isn't high enough to see anything. I am 30 years old with no health problems. I had a healthy pregnancy 3 years ago. Has this happened to anyone else? Any insight would be appreciated.

i had the same thing on the 12th. i was @ 773 on the 10th and then in ER on the 12th i went down to 633. on the 15th i went back up to 800 something but i was diagnosed as ectopic because the #'s were kinda going up but not doubling and becuz it had gone down as well - it isn't a normal pregnancy.  today im 6w2d ectopic.  email me if you have any thing you wanna talk about :)  also im on methotrexate to "kill off" the embryo that never made it outta my ovary
