hCG
Lowest Rise Recorded for a Normal Pregnancy
In one 2004 study, researchers found that hCG could increase as little as 53 percent over a period of two days even in a normal pregnancy, although slow-rising hCG levels are less common in normal pregnancies. The 53 percent increase was the slowest rise ever recorded for hCG levels in early pregnancy and slow- rising hCG levels usually do mean complications.
