Following on from my last post I've just spoken to the Junior Doctor and HCG levels have only risen by 45% in 48hrs and they wanted to see a min of 63% so results have referred to a consultant as they are inconclusive, I asked if he would call me this evening and he said maybe/maybe not, I've had no sleep since Weds and feel in a state of limbo.
Clairenix I didn't want to read and run but I just wanted to wish you all the best. Remember, hardly anyone is tested so often so early so they just don't know. That is quite a healthy number and hopefully all will be well with your next. Sending you massive hugs xxx

Thankyou, I also read that it was a good number I was just really cautious because it hadn't increased by the min 63% that they wanted to see. They want to scan me in 7 days so have got to try and think positive until then xxx
Thank you so much , doc rang back since last post and said its 50/50 and wants me to go back in for a scan in 7 days, I'm willing my little embee to grow xx
Oh just seen this Claire!😢 I really hope the rise is enough! I'm sorry you're going though this, it must be so heartbreaking!! Lots of love & hugs my lovely!!xxxx
Thank you, since the doc rang me back I do feel a bit calmer, he said its 50/50 and said it could be just very small which I know you had said so I'm hoping that is the case. I'm hoping I'll get more sleep tonight.
My first pregnancy my levels were slow in rising and didn’t double (see my old posts from 2 years ago) then all of a sudden they just started doubling.
It is 50/50 but you have to keep hope 🤞
I have everything crossed for you lovely. Try and get some rest xxxx
I have just read through your posts,sounds like you really went through it too!! It is good to read success stories and I need to try and not get hung up on the numbers.
At this stage I'm still I'm still in the game so have to try not to stress now xxx
Hey Mantaray, do you mind me asking what % your HCG has been increasing by? That's good to know that it does start slowing down at this point,just hoping that my increase is enough to reflect that it is still developing.
Good luck for your scan Friday, how are you feeling?
My clinic is in Spain and I’m in New Zealand! Not much they can do anyway.
Feel like I’ve been here before. I’ve spoken to my midwife (you arrange them early on in NZ) who will sort a scan tomorrow but I know it’s just a matter of waiting.
You must be exhausted! I can’t offer any advice but just wanted to send you good wishes xx
Hi Dunla,
How are you?
Thank you that's much appreciated
I think I was that exhausted yesterday I did manage to get some sleep,although I did have trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night, which I am hoping is a good sign xx
Clairenix I have everything crossed for you. Sounds like things are very much happening for you so hopefully like you said, just little. I hope you’re levels continue to rise and you start getting better sleep! 🙏 x
Thankyou, I did manage to get a better nights sleep although had a bit of a meltdown this morning but had to tell my self to keep calm, stress hormones won't help my little one!! Hope your doing ok x
I really wanted to message you after Friday, but didn't like to in case you didn't want to be bothered. Sending you huge hugs, I hope they can tell you one way or another soon xxx
When u get overwhelmed, step back and calm urself. Re positive imagery. Imagine the little embryo/s snuggling into s nest in ur uterine lining where they are nourished, loved, and grow. Doctors unfortunately aren’t there to treat mind and spirit. Depending on where u live across the US there’s a good 25 yr difference in doctors understanding and willingness to color outside the lines of their limited training in Med school.
Thankyou for your message, I did think to myself yesterday that I need to do some meditation to help me to remain calm, I am feeling more optimistic and I know stress won't help my little one...positive thoughts x
Thankyou, my o/h,parents and you guys on here are being very supportive which is helping me to look on the bright side.I did go back to the gym a couple of times last week but not going to go bk until after my scan,just incase!! Xx
Good luck! 50/50 is still in the game. I had 3 consecutive chemical pregnancies and the hcg didn’t double so I knew it was game over but there is certainly hope as it’s only just under half with yours. Praying all is ok xxx
Thank you,I read so many different things I had to stop researching in the end! I have my scan this morning so hopefully we will.find out what's been going on xxx
