If, in 2 days, ß-hCG levels have increased less than 66%, the chance that the woman has an abnormal pregnancy is high (about 90% chance, with only about a 10% chance of having a normal pregnancy). In about a half of ectopic pregnancies, ß-hCG levels in fact decreases in a 2 day period.

[Allibaby78]

In early normal pregnancies, blood levels of ß-hCG double about every 2-3 days. Thus, if serial ß-hCG levels are measured, levels should double in two thirds of women with normal pregnancies in 2 days and in all women in 3 days.

Tfor those who are watching, the hcg level doubles in 48 hours in the first 6 weeks. The doctor mistakenly tells 48 hours in this video
