HCG doesn't double but increases

[Draglife]

Hi ladies,

My beta hcg was 118 on 12 days post 5det. Next doubling test it was 131 only. Next doubling test it was 216. I don't understand whether to lose hope or not. Did any one of you experience a similar situation. If so,please share your experience here. This is emotionally and physically extremely tiring.

Hi Draglife. Don't really know what to say, but if you had 2 embryos transferred it could mean that one of them is not growing now. Fingers crossed that your next blood Beta hCG rises significantly. Thinking of you. Diane

There are cases of ladies who’ve had slow rising hcg levels, I’m sure there’s even one or two on here, so all is not lost yet. Wishing you lots of luck for better increases xx

Thanks! Hope so

Hey, I was in your shoes. I was told to not be hopeful but if you read my page my babs is just a slow grower..... I’m now 23 weeks hope you stay calm and all is well 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It was you I was thinking of, couldn’t quite remember the user name correctly though xx

[Draglife]

Thanks. Your experiences give me hope. But I won't get my hopes up

Check my page from a couple years back, mine didn’t double first of all either. My 22month old little girl is now sleeping upstairs. Xxx

Hi ladies,

Today's test said 483 hcg. It doubled, but can i be hopeful? The clinic said 500 is the threshold for a confirmed pregnancy. Is that what anyone of you have been told? My scan is next week. Fingers crossed.

Extremely anxious and nervous.
