Slow rising

[Chatty-chick]

Hi lovely lot - just wanted to update you on our journey so far.

I have had 4 HCG tests : 31, 51, 61 and now 113 (every 2 days so its not doubling). I have early preg scan next week - I will be 6 week pregnant. I am terrified that I'm going to MC and the clinic say that it's likely because of my slow rising HCG. Anybody else had this? Anybody else had this and carried baby fullterm?

Ivf is a massive waiting game - this is our first cycle and never did I imagine it would be like this. It is truly the hardest things I've ever done. I am in awe of you ladies who have been through more cycles and seem so completely "on top" in terms of managing your feeling and positivity!

Making my impending (?) MC more difficult Is the fact that my DH sister is currently having a healthy pregnancy - she will have a little girl. DH mam who does not know if our misfortune is constantly showing me things she has bought for her first grandchild and said to me the other day "well at least she's (Dh sister) is giving me a baby since you wont". I don't know how you do it. It'ssuch a struggle! We can't tell DH mam though- the whole world would know as she can't keep quiet. I really am trying to be positive but I don't want to get too excited that it's going to be okay since the clinic don't seem to think it is !

Anyways. Sorry for the long post. Hope somebody has a positive story of slow rising HCG! And wish you all the best wherever you are on your own journeys xxxxx

Personally I don’t but have you seen the docu-film “One More Shot?” Their slow riser is a healthy little girl now. It’s well worth a watch. Good luck to you xx

[Chatty-chick in reply to romaluna2015]

Thank you ❤ were you also told to expect to MC? Xxxx

[romaluna2015 in reply to Chatty-chick]

They didn’t say to expect a misscarriage but after having 4 one being a blighted ovum. I didn’t have much hope. Eventually they rose the way they should.

All the best and lots of love xx

It is a massive waiting game... especially if isn't "by the book" pregnancy..

My first beta (11dp5dt) was 34 - tomorrow i'm having another one.. the clinic said to me it's 50:50..

However, I'm thinking of you and praying for the best outcome! 🤞

[Chatty-chick in reply to Jane_30]

Thank You & sending you hope for a good second number !

It's so hard isn't it! Xxxx

[Jane_30 in reply to Chatty-chick]

Thank you!!

Yes, it is hard.... really the hardes thing in my life so far..

(i'm an army officer, i went through a really difficult situations during my 12years career... but NOTHING I can compare with these procedures... (IUIs, IVfs) - especially unsuccessful ones..

- so...dear lady, you are a strong woman - stay possitive and keep fighting 💪

Oh Hun, that doesn’t sound easy. Imagine it’s really hard to know what to let yourself feel at the moment. I just wanted to say I’m thinking of you, you do get exceptions to the rule and hopefully you’ll be one of them. Sending you my bestest positive vibes, I hope those levels keep coming up for you xxx

[Chatty-chick in reply to Novice_knitter]

-yeah I feel exactly that - such an awful time - well awful but good but emotional?how should I feel ?!

Thank you so much - hope your journey is going well hun xxxx

[Chatty-chick in reply to Novice_knitter]

Oohh hun, sorry to hear you’re having to go through this.

It sounds promising that your levels are rising albeit slowly - that’s got to count for something.

I am guessing they have to tell you the worse case scenerio and MC being just that but you got this hun and things can and may just turn around for you.

Try sit tight and stay strong until your scan. Hopefully you’ve not got long to wait for that now.

Take care xxx

Thanks hun - what will be, Will be! We are all strong when we need to be !

Hope your doing well xxx
