hCG value does not double, will it stop the pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Progesterone increased from 16.2 to 20 three days later. The hCG level is still rising but not doubling, and there is no bleeding. BC check shows a gestational sac but no fetal pole or heartbeat. Will this result in a miscarriage? I'm very anxious.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your BC check showed no fetal pole and no fetal heartbeat, which does not rule out the possibility of embryonic arrest. It needs attention. It is recommended to pay more attention to diet and nutrition in the future. You can have a follow-up ultrasound check in half a month to see if the fetal pole and heartbeat are visible. If they are visible, it is normal. If not, it indicates embryonic arrest, and pregnancy termination may be necessary.
