Just a little update - HCG rising but very slowly so back in for scan & bloods on Friday! They need to find where this pregnancy is....

42 Replies

It’s a rather anxious time as have a positive pregnancy test and HCG levels are showing this but rising very slowly. I am now under the care of an early pregnancy unit who called today as I had bloods taken yesterday and they are now sitting at 65 and they were 49 on Thursday. They are not able to tell me what is happening as such low numbers but they can’t rule anything out either so back in for a scan and blood test on Friday this week ❤️ Is there still hope? Any advice most welcome xx

That’s good! Have you done a home test since your BFP, has the line stayed or got darker? X

in reply toJ3nna

No but a&e did one on Thursday and it’s all positive and obviously my HCG is showing positive too! They just need to find this pregnancy basically 😘😘😘

Well that’s positive! So fingers crossed all works out!

My only ivf was just last month n my first hcg was 47 then 2 days later was 13 (chemical) so at least you’re is heading in right direction. My home tests were faint n became fainter. X

I had something similar following a transfer so had lots of blood monitoring. Then I had a massive rise and was bleeding. Clinic told me maybe it was a multiple pregnancy and I had lost one. Then I collapsed on the tube and ended up being taken to A&E where my numbers had dropped and they told me I was having a miscarriage. It sounds strange but sadly I wasn't it was an ectopic pregnancy and I lost my right tube and had emergency surgery during the night. They actually never saw anything on my scan but could tell that it was clear that there had not been a pregnancy in my womb. If you have any other symptoms call EPAU and explain don't delay as if it is similar obviously you don't want to lose a tube if it can be avoided.

Fingers crossed though everything may be fine and being under EPAU if everything is fine you get to see little one sooner. Good luck xx

in reply toHefa

Thank you so much for your message and I am so sorry to hear this xx I’m feeling real period pains today and got some red blood but only really when I wipe! I am just monitoring everything xx how are you now??

I am so sorry you are going though this - something similar happened to me - bloods on day 12 showed hcg at 208 but my clinic likes it atleast 275. Two days later it went to 308 and then two days later it fell to 280 so they stopped my progesterone and I bled out 4 days later....

it wasn’t a happy ending for me and I remember the torture I went through during that week - trying to stay positive and worrying abt whether it was an ectopic because the levels were going up but not doubling then dropping and my fourth test a week after my first test - it was at 424 so it dropped then went up again ... it was extremely confusing and I still have no idea what happened -

I am really sorry that you are in that limbo zone but try to stay positive until you know anything for sure - I read so many forums and there were many stories of people with slow rising hcg who had happy endings - sending you lots and lots of positive energy! ❤️

Thank you so so much I really appreciate it xxx ❤️😘❤️ I just have to see what happens on Friday! It is awful being in limbo! How are you now?? Xx

Not sure if this was for me but I am getting ready for my next transfer around March 11. I am freaked out but also kinda numb at this point ? This will be our third transfer and I feel like I am so scarred that I don’t want to get my hopes up- first transfer I was naive and we didn’t see a heartbeat - second transfer all I focused on was a heartbeat but ended up losing much earlier - this road is long .... not sure if it’s the right thing to do - keep low expectations or stay hopeful -

How are you doing ? Did you test again?

in reply toSnowflake855

I must admit I think it’s a miscarriage as I passed a big clot yesterday but there was not really any blood afterwards - however again this morning it feels like my period sorry for tmi!! I have to go back on Friday for scan and bloods which I think will hopefully give me answers as I feel my body has already told me! Not sure how to feel at this moment in time! Good for you and you will be fine remember you are a warrior you can do this and it will be your time 🥰😘❤️🥰🥰🥰 thinking of you and always here if you need to talk xx

Thank you! I am so sorry abt what’s going on for you. Ya when I started to miscarry it was light flow then a clot and then light period... for the first one - second one was full on period - too early for clots in a way :(

Keep me posted ! Fingers crossed that things will work out ! Don’t give up yet! Always here to talk if you need xx

in reply toSnowflake855

Thank you so much my lovely I really appreciate it 🥰🥰🥰 xxxxx honestly it’s so weird the bleeding starts in the morning and then nothing at night! It’s very intermittent but never being pregnant in my entire life I don’t know what to think!Sorry for tmi! I have had terrible mood swings too which I feel really sorry for OH. I’m just going my own head in! Xxx how are you doing?
