20dp5dt- beta is 5358- low???

Hello ladies, how are you today? ❤️

Had another beta today, result came at 5358- clinic said it’s fine but somehow was expecting a higher result- thoughts???

My progesterone has significantly increased after 2 injections of Prontogest to 99.4 (from 53.4 of Thursday!) so they’re happy for me to continue injections every other day.

All in all positive results, although my anxiety won’t settle until I see what’s happening on scan day, the 25th. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Eight days to go.

Sending love to everyone 💓💓💓💓💓

Omg Issylove I was going to get a blood test today. I got right up to the tube station and then stopped myself. I was worried that the results will increase instead of decrease my anxiety.

It's so hard to be in this limbo. Messing about with hcg numbers and endlessly calculating what is normal or not.

The number looks good to me. If the clinic say it's good you've got to believe them. Waiting for a scan is one of the most agonising things I've ever experienced. Tou haven't got long to wait. I'm not even allowed to book one until I reach 6 weeks which will be Thursday.

Cant offer much advice except to say I know how you feel. Sending you love and best wishes. Xxxx 1❤🤞🙏😘

Thank you Rainbow 🌈 I needed to hear your words- I’m trying to keep calm....but I’m a woman of proof and until I see evidence I can’t calm down 😂😂😂I hate when nurses don’t answer the questions....I asked her: I am not a risk of miscarriage right? She said: let’s wait for the scan and see 🙈🙈🙈🙈I mean that’s not a nice answer if you tell me you’re happy with the beta?

I’m happy that we’ll both be 6 weeks on Thursday ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for your kind words 💓🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I just totally understand. I believe in empirical evidence hence I need to know too. But I guess these things are not a perfect science. Some woman have super low numbers but they go on to have a healthy baby. Others have high numbers but somehow the little bean doesnt pull through. It's just mad. I even opted to go down DE route well before the doctors recommended because I just want to have a live birth so badly. Everyday I count down the days.

I'm experiencing tiredness and sore breasts. Other than that not a lot. I've got itchy hands and two spots on my chin which is very unusual for me. Read that this might be down to hormonal changes. I badly want morning sickness but haven't had that yet. Can I ask what your symptoms are please?

[Hidden in reply to Rainbowhope]

Total madness I agree! Same symptoms as you 😃tiredness and sore breasts. My tummy is also itchy and I’m using hydromol ointment which helps SO MUCH you should try it! Omg I have spots on my chin too ahahaha I NEVER EVER HAVE SPOTS not even when I was a teenager! Thank god for makeup 😂😂😂xx

[Rainbowhope in reply to Hidden]

Me neither! I very occasionally get spots on my chin. My acupuncturist said we have a lot of nerve endings in our chin and spots in the chin relate to hormonal changes in the body. I hoping this is a good sign. Also, random, but I've had super itchy hands. Wondering if this is related to early pregnancy too? Maybe I'm just desperate to find some evidence that everything is well.

[Hidden in reply to Rainbowhope]

Could be! I already have sensitive skin but have noticed that now it’s even more sensitive!

When was your last beta? It sounds about right compared to your beta 5 days ago. Anyway what is really important is the scan, they can’t confirm if you’ll have a miscarriage or not but there are no reason to think it will happen. I hope all goes well!

[Hidden in reply to FrancyItaly]

Second beta at 15dp5dt was 1590....thanks Francy ❤️Ps: are you italian?

[FrancyItaly in reply to Hidden]

Your numbers sound good to me. Yes I am 😊🇮🇹 why?

[Hidden in reply to FrancyItaly]

Thank you- I’m just a bit anxious 🙈I’m italian too 🇮🇹 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Rainbowhope in reply to Hidden]

If it makes you feel better my beta at 14dp5dt was only 585. Your numbers look good. Do u have symptoms?

[Hidden in reply to Rainbowhope]

Yep I’ve just replied to you re symptoms! Xx

[FrancyItaly in reply to Hidden]

Oh Ciao! Di dove? 🇮🇹🤗 l’importante non è il numero perché varia da persona a persona e da gravidanza a gravidanza, conta la buona crescita! A me cresceva ma non bene, nel tuo caso invece sembra buona! Non c’è motivo di preoccuparsi me ti capisco benissimo!

Next time back to the English language 😅

[Hidden in reply to FrancyItaly]

Di Genova! Ma vivo qui da 11 anni ormai....e tu? Si guarda numbers e attese mi stanno mandando fuori di testa! 😂😂😂

Yes back to English now 😉🇮🇹👏🏻

[FrancyItaly in reply to Hidden]

10 years 1 month for me! We’ll get there! Enjoy your baby day by day, every day is a blessing 😊

It's appears this journey makes us desperate to seek out things to worry about. My scan day is right after yours 26th.. so keep the worrying down until after then, ok? Because I am sure there will be new conjured things to worry about post a positive confirmation scan 😅

Great numbers on the progesterone 👍🏾 Focus on that 😁

Sending loads of love and hugs xoxoxoxo

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

You’re so right dear, thank you ❤️

Hi ladies! My viability scan is on Feb 27th... we are all one after the other LOL. I am also pretty nervous even though my doctor is happy so far with my first beta of 1000. She denied me to have a follow-up beta done because she says it could be growing and not tell us anything about the viability of pregnancy. So we can only wait... Good luck to all of you during this stressful waiting 😘

[ttcemmie]

Sounds good. Not too too far away until the scan now! Although I appreciate it will seem like an age to you!

[Hidden in reply to ttcemmie]

Hi Emmie, yep it’s ages away 😂😂😂but ticking days off the calendar helps! Hope you’re well? X

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

Meh. Still unwell. No interest in work. The usual....

[Hidden in reply to ttcemmie]

Sorry to hear 😢hope you feel better soon take care of yourself!

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

Thank you.
