Sorry I know Im posting too many questions!

Hi guys just wondering did you have slow rising HCG and small sac but still had a heart beat on 7 week scan? What were your HCG levels at 6 weeks? If levels are low would that mean the sac would be small?

Hi Eram,

I'm a regular reader here & only post now and again as we've been waiting to begin ivf and so close!! Only a few weeks left til we start. Anyway - I've been keeping up-to-date with your journey, amongst all the other ladies who post here regularly and I just couldn't read and run. My heart goes out to you so much right now. You must be going through such a rollercoaster; some of your posts read like you're trying to stay proactive and plan ahead for things you can begin to control and understandably preparing for the worst for this cycle for self-preservation whilst clinging onto hope all at the same time. I so, so hope that you have some deserved good news at your next scan. Sorry I don't have info or advice to help but just wanted to say I admire your strength and I'm wishing you the best 🧡 xx

Hi Eram - I had my transfer a day after you and my HCG levels are WAY lower than yours, so all your posts about this are freaking me out a little bit. My level at my last test on Monday (5+4) was 606, up from 99 five days before that. No one has suggested to me that I'm having a miscarriage, just that we don't know why the levels are low, we need to wait and see what happens. I know the uncertainty is hard to deal with, but you do just need to wait and see, and there is no reason at this stage for you to assume the baby definitely won't make it. You have to wait to find out.

Sorry to freak you out my head is all over the place and just looking for reassurance. Sorry... I had a scan you see and had small gestational sac. yolk sac was there but at 6 weeks no fetal pole. The nurse said it's unlikely that it will progress going by my numbers not doubling and the small gestational sac. I do have another scan which will be 7wks so hopefully all this panicking was for nothing.

I really really hope it works out for you but of course there's no way to be sure at this stage. Really sorry that you're going through all this stress, I totally get how stressful it is.

She even said there should be a fetus showing at 6 weeks

Hey im am really feeling it for you because I have been in similar situations several times. In the wnd I learnt if things didnt look good they most likely are not going to end well. As hard as it is to processes this. But then if good comes out of it it is a massive bonus. It lessened the blow for me abit when it finally came to it.

Really hope you get good news next week. Would you consider a private scan earlier to put your mind at rest. It would tell you if there are any changes. And may be tell you abit more about which way it will go. A week is a long time to live this torture. I know it too well. X
