5 weeks and very low HCG.... all over 😔

[Sarascottxox]

Well looks like our journey is ending before its begun. After calling the clinic with my BFP on Saturday, I started spotting on Sunday. It was very light but went for a HCG and it's only 84. The nurse asked me to go back tomorrow for a second test to see if increased but everything I've read indicates its a nonviable pregnancy. Feel so foolish for getting so excited and daring to dream and make plans. This is so heart breaking 💔 😢 💔

[Boo718]

Aww 😢😢I’m so sorry your going through this. You’ve got to have hope. It may go up by tomorrow. I know it’s easier said than done but try to relax. I’ve to go back tomorrow for mine too and it’s much lower than 84. They have put me on rest until the test and I genuinely was like wtf is the point in that 🤦‍♀️ But we have to hold our heads high.Huge hugs to you xxx

[Sarascottxox in reply to Boo718]

Thanks Boo..I've been a mess since Sunday when I started spotting. I know it sounds awful but I just want to know either way so I can move forward. The waiting and not knowing is destroying me.

Hope your test goes well tomorrow and rest up and hugs to you too xxx

Don't lose hope completely until seeing the next results! You can't say anything fore sure about the outcome until you see the difference between the two betas ❤

[sun-and-rain in reply to sun-and-rain]

(I will go for my second tomorrow myself. Crossing fingers and praying it will have doubled ❤ I'll do it for you too ❤)

[Sarascottxox in reply to sun-and-rain]

Thanks. I know there is a glimmer of hope but I started spotting (very light and almost stopped now) on Sunday.. so feels very much game over. Our cycle was lucky and we have 3 good embryos frozen for future transfers. This was our first attempt so would have been incredibly lucky to have worked first time. Good luck for your test tomorrow xx

[sun-and-rain in reply to Sarascottxox]

I have had a whole week of bleeding before my positive urine test and bloods yesterday... Just some light spotting doesn't mean anything. Hope isn't gone until it's gone!

[Riri88]

So sorry to hear that hun but I agree with the others that your number might still rise and spotting doesn’t always mean you are out although I 100% understand your feeling! Good luck tomorrow and let us know what the result was. Keeping everything crossed for you!

[Sarascottxox in reply to Riri88]

Thanks. I know spotting doesn't necessarily mean anything but I've searched and searched and 84 at 5 weeks is so incredibly low I don't think it's possible to have success. Obviously we're keeping everything crossed for a miracle but trying to be realistic. Thanks for the support though xx

Hey lovely,

Please don’t give up just yet. My first bloods were 86 with my current pregnancy and I was told it’s low and could go either way (I’d had a previous successful IVF pregnancy and my first blood test was 956 so the difference was pretty huge) . I’m now 34 weeks and baby is absolutely fine. Spotting is also very normal so there is every chance those numbers will have doubled when you have your next ones done tomorrow. Keeping everything crossed for you xx

[Sarascottxox in reply to KiboXX]

Thank you for the words of hope. Congratulations on your current pregnancy! Can I ask how far you were when you had your test done on this pregnancy and got 86? I was 16dp5dt as only had a blood test done because I started spotting... trying to be hopeful but my lack of symptons is making me very doubtful 😔 xx

[KiboXX in reply to Sarascottxox]

Thank you 😊 I was 12dp5dt but I when I posted my worries on here, lots of ladies had positive stories with lower numbers. The most important thing is that number is rising and doubling as it should be, really hoping it’s good news for you tomorrow xx

[TexasRose210]

Sorry to hear this love. Praying for you

[Hoping20]

All the very best for your blood test today. Really hope all is fine with you and the baby. Try to take care x

[hoping2021]

It’s a frightening time - will be thinking of you xx

[Muppetgirl]

I think its all about the next reading to double every 2/3 days. My first measure at 11 days was only 117 - so not much higher. It was over 200 2 days later. I now have a huge cuddly fireman sam living 2 year old from those numbers.

I don't want to give you false hope but will send all my good growing vibes.

[Sarascottxox]

Well that's us sadly out. My hcg dropped to 26 today so whilst my little bean implanted and got me as far as test day, it just wasn't able to continue. Feel a mixture of deep sadness and some relief at just knowing the answer as feel like I have had 4 solid days of anxiety whilst waiting to find out. This journey is to much harder than I thought. Thank you all for your kind messages of support. Now time for wine and bath xxx

[Hidden in reply to Sarascottxox]

So sorry lovely, take some time to grieve for what might have been. Bath and wine (and ideally together) sounds like a grand plan. Huge hugs xx

[Sarascottxox in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 💙

[Ssteph in reply to Sarascottxox]

I am so so sorry. I’m in a very similar position and got told to stop my medication on Saturday. It really is devastating, the waiting is agonising and consumes you and then comes the blow of the news. Look after yourself, you’re not alone ❤️ Enjoy your wine and bath. Lots of love sent xxxx

[Sarascottxox in reply to Ssteph]

Thank you and so sorry to hear you're going through this too. It does just consume you. Going to try organise some things to look forward to and focus on so we can both feel happy again. Lots of love back xxx

[Ssteph in reply to Sarascottxox]

It really does and I don’t think we can ever really prepared ourselves for quiet how brutal this can be when starting this journey. Totally do it- have some time together which doesn’t consist of injections, hospital appointments, constant worry…. Will be a nice distraction in all of this. Take care love xxx

[Hoping20 in reply to Sarascottxox]

So sorry to hear your latest update. This is devastating and will no doubt take time for some of the pain to heal. Give yourself the time you need to grieve and take extra care of each other. Thinking of you x

[KiboXX in reply to Sarascottxox]

Oh lovely, I’m so sorry to see this. Sending big hugs 😥 xxx

[Riri88]

I am so so sorry to hear this. It sucks and is a horrible journey. My thoughts are with you and sending lots of hugs! Definitely a hot bath and wine are a good first step to take!

[sun-and-rain]

Sooo sad news 💔💔💔 So sorry 😭😭😭 Big hugs ❤❤❤

[Muppetgirl]

Sad to hear this. I came back to check. Sending you calm vibes.

[Hoop123]

So so sorry to hear this 💔 it's so hard. Be extra kind to yourself and take care xx
