So I'm 6. 3 weeks pregnant I had my beta HCG on the 23rd it came back as low at 66, did a repeat the nurse said congratulations your beta rose to 227 so a good increase and something to calm the worry for probably an hour before I realised I have the dreaded scan to look forward too (dreaded because last MC I had scans every 7 days and my bean was always 2 weeks behind before a MC)
Now like most people I'm just worrying because I have no symptoms of pregnancy!!!
My boobs have swollen a little but they aren't sore at all but are a bit veiny but other than constant thirst I have nothing and I'm really starting to get worried
Am I being over dramatic or has anyone experienced the same?
I know it's common but I just can't help worry after the stress and misery of my last IVF cycle I really want this FET to succeed
Thanks xxx

I am in a very similar boat! Also 6+3 today. Had my initial beta on 20th which was 86, told it was low so had to have a repeat on 23rd which was 310 which consultant was happy with as it was increasing normally.
Also have no sore boobs and an awful thirst! I’ve started to feel a little nauseous the last couple of days but not everyone gets that! However based on your numbers, you would be slightly behind me on levels so you might find it starts in the next week.
I’ve had one successful IVF pregnancy before and my initial beta was way higher (956) and the nausea started a good week or so earlier than it did this time so it does vary! Also had sore boobs that time but not this time 🤷🏼♀️ I know it’s hard but try not to compare it to the last time.
When is your viability scan? Mine is on Tuesday xx
I’ve had pretty much no symptoms! Sore nipples (which could have been progesterone) and that’s it. I’ve had two scans and both have been fine. I’m 11wks now. People say how lucky we are not to have symptoms but I wanted nothing more than morning sickness, just to feel pregnant!! X
I’m twelve weeks with twins and very little symptoms (slightly tender, larger boobs at the most). I asked my consultant about it a few weeks ago as everyone talks about how sick they are with twins, and she said I was just lucky and plus being on a lot of meds can sometimes mask the symptoms! So try not to worry or compare yourself to others… it’s also quite common for people not to have symptoms! 💗 xx
Congrats on your scan today!! Wondering if your second beta was 48h after the first? Mine came back low today (36 day 11 post 5dt) so not v hopeful but trying to figure out if there’s any chance of a viable pregnancy
Thank you so much :)My beta was 66 to start with them rose 48 hours later to 227 so there is still hope. To be honest tho 11dp5dt is still early usually they should do it 14 days so may just still be early! Wishing you all the luck let me know how you get on xxx
