Beta HCG levels ** update**

[Charmed676]

What have everyone’s levels been when asked to check?

Mine are 7.05 at 8dp5db which I know are low. I have to test again in a few days

My clinic abroad usually say bloods at 10dp5dt or pregnancy test at 12dp5dt. Good luck for your next one!

Yeah my clinics abroad too, I’ve read in previous posts it’s usually later I don’t know why they asked me to test

Thanks anyway

Think I had my first beta 15dp5dt and it was 1065. Then 1755, 3588 and 5391. I'd say just 8dp is still really early as it should ideally double every 48 hrs. Mine however didn't double but still rose significantly. Hcg doesn't usually appear/detectable until about day 9 at the earliest I think x

Thanks

I did the bloods a few days ago, and I’ve tested negative on tests...

However last couple of days I’ve seen a faint second line. In the morning and in the afternoon!

I know I test way too much I just can’t help it 🤭

That seems very early to test.. hopefully your numbers will increase/double by the day xx

On our first (fresh) cycle, my HCG was 14 at 10dp5dt. The nurse said they would need it to be at least 50 on that day for it to be definitely positive. Whilst mine did increase over the week, it wasn't enough and unfortunately we lost it.

On our second attempt (frozen), my HCG was 139 at 11dp5dt. Anything above 75 that day would have been classed as positive. We're now almost 20 weeks and all going well so far.

Hope your level increases. When I was Googling frantically for positive stories the first time round, there were people who had happy outcomes with HCG levels around 30, so I don't think it's an exact science. Good luck x

Thank for the info, I emailed my clinic the results they said while it’s positive it’s still low and to repeat, I don’t hold out much hope... I’ve had faint lines on tests that read 10 or 25 (on urine) I would have thought if the hormone had risen enough I would have got a stronger line.

I don’t think there increasing that much

Wishing you all the best, either way. I know it's hard - I've been there.

My HCG tests were always blood tests - not sure if that makes any difference to the accuracy. I didn't take a urine pregnancy test during IVF as I couldn't bear to see an outcome before the clinic's official blood test. I therefore don't know how strong the lines would have been in each case.

Good luck on your journey x

Just want to update this I tested my bloods again a few days later... and they have shot up they were 300... thought I would update for anyone who is worried with a first low HGC! I go for a scan next week to make sure everything is ok 🤭
