Beta HCG Test Analysis
My wife missed her period by over a week however there was a slight spotting observed around 11th oct and nothing else. Her LMP date was - 08th Sep'2023. On 15th Oct we did pregnancy test and result was positive. She is currently 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant basis last LMP date. Her 1st beta HCG test was done on 15th oct and value was 452, doctor asked to repeat the test on 17th Oct and the latest value is 472 (not a significant increase in HCG count).. Doctor has currently advised her to take Duphaston 10mg, Ecospirin 75mg, Foliott and Doxyott tablets..
She had an abortion 10 years back; Doctor also advised to take enoxaparin injections for 10 days but has asked now to stop injections after looking at the latest HCG TEST results..
Is there anything to worry or should we wait for some more time to repeat the HCG test and see the latest results as the HCG Count has not been as expected ?? Any other valuable advise please

You have to wait for one week and get the sonography done. Further management will depend on the sonography report.

You should wait for next step as advised by doctor
Since bhcg value is not double
It may signify non viable pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy.
So we have to wait and watch if rise in bhcg is der (2 fold rise in 48 hours )
That indicates healthy growing pregnancy.
But still its early to decide on anything so would suggest just stay neutral , keep fingers crossed and and follow ur doc's instructions

Since beta HCG Titers have not doubled between 15th to 17th October it looks like this pregnancy is not going to be fruitful
you need to stop the progesterone support
