low rising HCG 😞

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone had low rising HCG. I got my BFP 4dp5dt. Since then I have had decent line profession. My beta was 70 9dp5dt and then only 78 at 11dp5dt transfer. On the back of this I assume I will miscarry. I took a digital test today but it has now changed to 2-3 weeks from 1-2 weeks on Friday.

Has anyone experienced this? These are the tests this morning. I have another beta tomorrow. I am trying to be realistic here.

Hi, I didnt have blood results but with my early miscarriage my tests didn't go pass 2-3 and went back down to 1-2 I hate those tests and stopped using them after the miscarriage but unfortunately it was accurate with me and I would prepare for the pregnancy not progessing. I'm so sorry its absolutely awful and I hope I'm wrong X

*sorry I read your post wrong* hopefully as its go e up to 2-3 your pregnancy is still progressing might be worth booking an early price scan?

Thank you. I have am 4w4d so they won’t even entertain a scan at this point as they would see nothing.

Unfortunately it sounds like it isn’t going to progress. My first cycle my hCG levels were as high as 865 and it was a non-viable pregnancy that resulted in requiring a medical miscarriage. My second cycle has just resulted in miscarriage and my tests got darker for around 7-8 days then got lighter over 2 days and was eventually negative on my OTD. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I was frantically searching for answers with both of mine and now wished someone could just be honest with me. I really do hope and pray for you that it works out. I probably used everything I read online to try and make myself feel better about my situations but knew deep down that it wasn’t working out. Wishing you the best of luck xx

If clear blue has jumped from 1-2 to 2-3 then to me that sounds promising...I had my tests lines get darker and clear blue progression which early scan confirmed there is 1 healthy baby. Are you bleeding or have pains if not I would be hopeful. X

Thank you. I have no cramps or bleeding and my boobs are might sore, although that could be the progesterone. I had my third beta this morning so will get that back tomorrow morning. I am not hopeful this will be successful. This morning’s tests are super dark compared to last the weekend. Just wait and see now.

Thank you it’s hard to feel positive. I just did a frer ( so hard to find these days). I definitely think there is progression in the last 4 days but not sure that’s enough. The one I did today is the first time I can see the test line stronger than the control line. Maybe that’s just me.

Lovely, the reality that getting a positive test now or in 3 weeks times doesn’t mean it’s always going to result in a live birth. But right now you are pregnant! You must take the wins when they come!! It’s such a hard journey - we spend all that time and effort waiting for those lines and then we are fraught with worry until the next milestone (viability, 12 weeks, 20 weeks etc), allow yourself to have a a little celebration for this milestone. I know it is exhausting waiting for everything, to know it’s going to be ok - and I can say that having gotten my dream, pregnant with donor egg twins in December but now being sat in the NICU after they made an exceptionally early entrance at only 23 weeks and 6 days (they were due on the 9th of sept) !! And they are still here and I am still waiting!! ❤️❤️❤️ I guess what I’m saying is try to enjoy it as much as you can, while you can. Those 8 months will be over so quickly! Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳 xxx

Thank you so much much for the message. This will be my fifth loss in 13 months. You would this I would be used to it. I hate limbo land. Oh my word I really hope they and you are doing well. You must have been so shocked. My friend delivered her baby at 23 weeks on holiday in new Zealand about a month ago. It’s so tough. I will be glad to get the beta and a definitive answer. I appreciate you message.

Oh I’m so sorry you’ve had such a difficult journey! I’m so sorry for your losses. It’s totally normal that you are being cautious and not wanting to get your hopes up. I totally get it… They are doing well thanks. It’s a long road but today was a good day, so that’s a win! My girls are so strong, it’s crazy!

I really hope this time is the one for you sweetie! I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Xx

Hi, how are you?

Ugh more ambiguity, beta is now 172 which is more than double however my digital test has gone from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 this morning. So back to limbo land, waiting on the clinic to call and no doubt more bloods.

in reply toHopeful1981

Good news on the doubling beta. I would step away from the digital tests - they are notoriously flaky and it’s not helping your stress levels. So easy for me to say but you can’t do anything except try and keep calm and think positive. In my experience I would keep testing thinking ‘at least I know’ but I rarely had conclusive evidence and it didn’t make the miscarriages any easier when they came - I was just miserable for twice as long (run up and real thing). I know you have had a lot of bad luck and sadness in the run up but every pregnancy is different and it could be that this one is the sticky one - other people get their rainbows why shouldn’t you? Heaps of hugs and luck xx

Thank you Daisy. Clinic have said no more betas, just to keep testing to ensure that line is getting darker as I am still at risk of an ectopic with the slow rising beta. I am also to contour the meds. Funnily enough the digital went to back to 2-3 week when I tested at lunch time versus 1-2 with FMU yesterday.

I think my frers are slowly progressing. POAS addict.

I will be having a scan next Wednesday. I hope by then I will have a definite answer on the ectopic suspicions.

Hey lovely,

Just wanted to say don’t focus on the weeks tests too much. I had one show 2-3 weeks and then a couple of days later it said 1-2 weeks. I was convinced it was over but he’s now two months old. Those tests are not reliable! Focus on your betas and if the clinic won’t retest you and you want reassurance, you can pay for a private blood test xxx

Thank you. My clinic don’t do betas at all. They only do scans at 6 weeks. My own GP arranged them but the clinic have said no need for the them. Really wishing this is ectopic.

Well ladies I got my 4th beta back this morning. It was 637 from 172, doubling time was 140% over 2 days and 290% over 3 days. Tests are getting marginally darker. I am not sure 637 is good for 17dp5dt. I have contacted the clinic as the Dr told me to stop some of the meds last Friday, just wondering if I should start them again. Appreciate all your reply’s. It really helps when you have people who under stand the process. ❤️❤️❤️
