Awful day full of worry. I think my hcg numbers might be too low 249 on 11dp5dt. I want to do another test. My GP was very rude to me and didn't even congratulate me. She said she will measure thyroid in 6 to 8 weeks. I felt like crying. She asked why my clinic doesnt do my scans?

Hi Rainbowhope,

I know it’s such a worrying time but I think your numbers sound fine! Everyone and every pregnancy is different so don’t be concerned if someone else gets a higher number.

[Rainbowhope in reply to KiboXX]

Ahh thank hun. I know but I just dont have a good feeling. I need to get my numbers re-done to put my mind at ease.

[KiboXX in reply to Rainbowhope]

Definitely push to get them done if you think it will help ease the stress a little. Sending you a big hug xx

Mine was 245 at 11dp5dpt. It really doesn't matter too much as long as it doubles every 48-72 hours. Get it retested again on Wednesday xx

Can you ring and get a different gp?

Maybe the gp had a bad day 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would have asked her why was she being so rude!? 🤣😂😂😂

Can your clinic help you?

Hopefully some of the other girls will be able to talk numbers to you😍

I haven’t been lucky to have hcg anything so can’t help.

It’s just one big fat worry isn’t it!

Sending hugs,

Hope you get something to ease your anxiety soon 😘😘😘💖💖💖💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Hi mine were 300 so just abit more than yours at 12 dp5dt so a day after yours. I had a healthy baby so ai would say those numbers are nothing to worry about. G.P's are awful I am affraid. Nothing like that programme where g.ps see patients cant remember what its called but the g ps are so kind and attentive in there.

Try not to stress

Hi, my friend’s HCG was 175 at 11dpt and mine was 315 at 11dpt ( not much more than yours) and both pregnancies have progressed. It truly varies so try not to worry. Most important thing is that it’s at least doubling every 48hrs...x

Hey Rainbow 🌈....it’s too early for a scan, but I’m sure your clinic will do another beta for peace of mind- have you spoken to them? Numbers vary and unfortunately this is another difficult step of the IVF process we must deal with 🙈🙈🙈

You’re not alone dear ❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I don't know anything about numbers as my clinic doesn't do that, but just wanted to give you a virtual hug and tell you not to worry. It's constant worry and anxiety on this journey. Contact your clinic or GP again or another clinic for reassurance if you're super super worried and want peace of mind. xxx

[Rainbowhope]

Thank you my super wonderful strong friends. I'm gonna another test tomorrow. Xxx

[Keepingfaith85]

Ugh 😑 I'm sorry that your GP has zero people skills and was so unhelpful, not at all what you need! Please don't feel too disheartened, you are fab and have had enough stress. Take some deep breaths xx

I hope you manage to get your answers, I don't know anything about numbers not having got that far but I'm really, really hopeful and excited for you xx

[Ttcbabymcg]

Hey!!

Mine were 356 14dp5dt then 48 hrs later went to 1007.

I have been told it’s not your baseline number, but how they increased good luck xxx

Hello

My hcg levels were really low at 41 to begin with I now have my twin daughters . Try not to worry too much about the hcg numbers . Everyone’s numbers are different. Sending you lots of love xx

[Ttcbabymcg in reply to romaluna2015]

Wow that’s amazing! Congratulations!

How many days last transfer were you when you got that reading?

Are the identical or fraternal

We go through this process with the BFP as the goal and when we get there, after a tough journey very often, we think it's going to be the happiest time of our lives. And it's quite shocking and upsetting that it's often not, it's full of anxiety and what should be a lovely, happy time is swamped by fears. It's really, really common.

Take a breath, your numbers are looking good and you've got no reason to think anything is wrong.

Focus on the things you can control, take good care of yourself physically. It's hard not to worry, but try and push back against the negative thoughts and count down the days to your scan. Hope it doesn't drag too much xxx

Hi Rainbowhope, firstly congratulations.

GP's I not always understanding I saw one and he was really questioning my decision about having IVF in the Czech Republic,he made me feel rubbish but now that just realise that he didn't understand IVF and the whys and wherefores!! I usually have my blood tests and scans at a private company so if you are feeling anxious about it it maybe worth seeing if there is one near you. As the other ladies have said it's more to do with the numbers doubling so hoping everything will be fine for you xx

[Rainbowhope]

Thank you everyone for your kind advice. I've decided to do the blood test today. I waiting now. If a blood test stands between me and sanity I'd rather do the test. I have to be prepared for what happens

[KiboXX in reply to Rainbowhope]

Good luck! ♥️

I’ve just read your post. I’m really your GP wasn’t more supportive ☹️ My GP just said “it’s very early days” when I informed her of my pregnancy it was hard to hear as we’d had experienced a chemical pregnancy prior to that one ( which gave us our daughter)

I was going to suggest to have private bloods done but see you are sensibly doing that do whatever makes you feel better others who haven’t suffered infertility will never understand the struggle of being pregnant & the huge anxiety that we have.

I wish I could say something to make this easier but I know nothing anyone said would have made less anxious ( even in labour I kept asking my hubby if our daughter would be okay I must’ve sounded mad 😂) the fear never went after countless scans..! Infertility does sadly taint a pregnancy 😢

Good luck with the bloods xxx
