I'm 6 weeks pregnant and my hcg levels are going up really slowly. They only went from 4300 to 4500 over four days. I'm feeling worried about whether this could mean my pregnancy might not be viable. Should I consider taking hcg injections to help?

Delayed Periods After Dengue
Possible Causes
- Hormonal imbalance: Dengue can disrupt hormonal balances, leading to delayed periods.
- Stress and recovery: Your body may still be recovering from the dengue infection, causing a delay in your menstrual cycle.
- Other factors: Other factors like weight loss, changes in appetite, or stress can also contribute to delayed periods.
Normal Menstrual Cycle Disruption
- Common occurrence: It's common for women to experience changes in their menstrual cycle after a severe illness like dengue.
- Temporary disruption: This disruption is usually temporary, and your menstrual cycle should return to normal once your body has fully recovered.
Recommended Actions
- Wait and monitor: Wait for another week or two to see if your periods resume on their own.
- Consult a gynecologist: If your periods don't resume after 6-8 weeks, consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions.
- Perform a pregnancy test: Take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a cause of delayed periods.
When to Seek Medical Attention
- Severe abdominal pain: If you experience severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding.
- Prolonged delay: If your periods are delayed for more than 8 weeks.
- Other symptoms: If you experience other symptoms like fever, vomiting, or dizziness.
