When does hCG stop doubling?

Hi all! I just had my first hCG test and it is 39,654.

I am about 6 weeks based on ovulation tests or 7 weeks based on my LMP. My next test is Thursday (48 hours) and I’m curious, should I still be expecting it to double within this timeframe if I’m this far along? Or should it just rise?

I believe I read that after 6 weeks it doubles every 96 hours vs 48. Expect to increase and peak at around 10 weeks. Will let others confirm or correct me!

It’s stops doubling between 4 and 6 week. I had my hcgs tested last week (when I was just 7wks) and they full plateaued. Barely raised at all. Did an ultrasound. Baby is fine.

After 9 weeks it stops doubling every 24-48 and instead it's every 72-96

How are you finding your hCG levels? Is there any kind of home test that I can purchase? Or is just serum hCG at the doctors office?
