5 weeks pregnant but low hcg

Hello ladies, I had day 5 embryo transfer on 10th may. Tested positive on 24th May with bhcg 161. Started getting brown spotting only when I wiped from 25th May. Doctor suggested bedrest and spotting stopped after 3 days. Got another bhcg on 27th May and it was 254. This morning I saw brown white thick clot. I am on vaginal progesterone. I am really worried - low hcg, spotting and no symptoms except breast heaviness. Have another bhcg tomorrow and I have my fingers crossed for that.

Im sorry to hear that youre having such a hard time of things. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! It is crinone gel that you are using? If so it tends to collect inside and clumps of it comes away! Good luck for your next blood.xx

This is a bit gross but I'll put it out there so apologies if TMI.....when you use the gel your body takes from it what it needs but a residue is left behind. What you are seeing coming away in clumps is your body trying to get rid of this. I had to self clean whilst showering as the build up inside was way more than what you are seeing....yuk is all i can say! Wishing you so much luck.xx

Hi honey.I keep my fingers crossed for you. May your bhcg test tomorrow show everything's ok.

I wouldn't count much on the symptoms. You may have none. or at least your sore boobs may be a very good sign for you. I'll be praying for you, honey.

Thanks everyone but looks like it was the end of the road for us this time. HCG levels have dropped. Doctor couldn't see anything in the early scan. Will try again..

As someone rightly said - A light overtakes you. A nervous excitement for what could be.. hope for endless possibilities . An ache. The light: gone. The pain strikes you again, just like that. It is all a lie..
