Low hcg (8.4 miu/ ml)

I am completely heartbroken. I had my first frozen embryo transfer day 5 and today i am 12 days post transfer. My hcg is as above and I was advised to continue medication and repeat in 48 hours.

I am quite sure that it will result in nothing as it is super low.

Not sure how I ll manage through.

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this too. My heart breaks with yours as I am in the same wait and see boat as you, for the same reasons and know exactly how horrible it is to have to keep consuming medication when you feel in your heart that its pointless 😥 all i can say is i pray our little embryos beat the odds and are little miracles for us both x

Am praying for you dear. Have you done an HCG test?

Yes, my levels were 9dp5dt - 6.2

10dp5dt - 11

12dp5dt - 23

And i go again tomorrow for another test.

My clinic thought it wasn't viable when the levels came back at 6.2 and they said they think it will be zero within a few days. But it wasn't. Early pregnancy unit are telling me to hold on to some hope that it could just be early. I doubt it though as everyone else seems to have above 50 at least by now

I'm really hoping this turns into a take home baby for you but if for whatever reason it doesnt i'm really happy that you have another frozen and pray at least one gives you your end goal x

I hope you are ok too... There is no point in hoping even though I am retesting I think

I'm so sorry you are going through this...xx

I've had a chemical pregnancy last month. My levels were 12 on day 10, I knew while taking tests tbh. Day 8 my tests were dark and day 9 and 10 got lighter and lighter. And I just knew. Its heartbreaking, we had 2 transferred.. Both 5 days and hatching:(

I've had miscarages in the past, natural pregnancy's almost 18 years ago, so they did a blood test and found that i am a risk of blood clots ( I was when I was pregnant with my daughter too, she is 10 now) so now they are putting me on blood thinning medication as this could be the reason implantation stops...

I'm releaved tbh, as its different to the first 2 failed tranfers. My first didn't work at all and last one ended up a chemical. We have just started a new cycle. So hopefully in 3 weeks time I'll have embaby's on board.

I wish you loads of luck and baby dust, if this wont work don't give up. It's such a hard journey.. Me and my hubby have been on it for over 5 years now. XXX

Thank you so much for your support. Today I had the repeat and it is 2.6. Devastated but was expecting it.

Will discuss with doctor on what to do next.

Lots of baby dust to you!! Xx
