A beta hCG that barely moves, 1620 to 1562, over 48 hours is neither the normal near-doubling of an early healthy pregnancy nor the sharp fall usually seen with a miscarriage. This flat, slowly falling pattern is one of the things doctors watch closely, since it can point to a pregnancy that is not developing normally in the uterus, including an ectopic pregnancy.
Next Steps
Please see your obstetrician within the next day or two for a transvaginal ultrasound and a repeat beta hCG test, since the exact location and progress of this pregnancy cannot be confirmed from the numbers alone.
Health Tips
Go to the emergency department right away if you develop one-sided abdominal pain, dizziness, fainting, or shoulder-tip pain.
