My happiness does not last long...

[Blueberry211]

I gave in to test two days ago (9dp5et) after I experienced pink discharge and it was a clear positive and I was on the moon. Today was my OTD- it came much fainter and my HCG is 84. I was advised to repeat in 2 days.

Any success with this HCG level? Im worried about the trend on urine blood test, for me it means that this is an impending MC.

Heartbroken and gutted.

Hey lovely,

I am sorry you’re having such a stressful time. My hcg was 86 on OTD and it was a successful pregnancy so the hcg alone doesn’t necessarily mean anything bad but the fading positive is on your urine test could be a sign of a chemical. Did you test at the same time during the day? It could also be that your wee just wasn’t as strong.

I know it’s so hard but you’ll only really know which way it’s going to go in two days when you have your repeat bloods done to see if the hcg numbers are doubling. Sending you a big hug and lots of positive vibes xxx

I agree with Kibo - 86 is ok for 11dpt. My clinic want it to be over 100 on 14dpt. Were the tests FMU?

Crossing my fingers your test in 2 days is good news xx

I have no advice, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry your having this stress and I'm really hoping this works out for you. Xx

Hi there. I wouldn’t worry so much about the hcg level, mine was 59 @10 days past transfer and I’m now 7 + 2… the lighter test might be a concern but it’s such a variable thing. Try to stay positive until you test again. Wishing you all the best x

[Blueberry211]

thank you for the support but I am quite sure we re heading there ( always testing same time with same test).

Repeat this morning was barely visible.

I do not know why this is happening. Embryo was a euploid and all meds taken vigilantly ;(

Life can be so cruel. This is so hard. Why did I have to miscarry?

I’m so sorry. I’ve just been through this last month and it’s brutal. The hardest bit is not knowing why but focusing on the next steps and trying to get answers has been the only way forward for me. Look after yourself and maybe engage in some self-care this week xx

[Blueberry211 in reply to Nenad]

how did you manage to cope? I had a chemical first cycle ( hcg was 8.4) and a negative second. This time round hcg 84 ( highest I ever got). I do not know how to move forward with this. Already on aspirin and steroids. Progesterone is a good level as I always check with HCG.

[Nenad in reply to Blueberry211]

there are good days and bad days if I’m honest. Work has been keeping me busy and I’m spending weekends outdoors, otherwise I’ll be home thinking about it and googling like crazy for answers. I sought a second opinion afterwards and was advised to do a whole loads of tests (which you may have already done) like thrombophilia, thyroid etc. Husband was also asked to do sperm DNA fragmentation because apparently that can lead to miscarriages as well, so I’m in the process at the moment prior to my next transfer. Self-love is key, do all the things you enjoy while you try to find some answers or choose to keep going xxx

[Blueberry211 in reply to Nenad]

we have done all of those tests and still are at this stage. This is what is troubling me. That despite doing all ( privately) we re still here

[Nenad in reply to Blueberry211]

I’d personally get a second opinion if you haven’t done so already x

[Blueberry211 in reply to Nenad]

i will start from our doctor s opinion this week and see from there but definitely in my plan

[Nenad in reply to Blueberry211]

hope you get some answers. There are all sorts of tests that can be done such as ERA, EMMA and Alice, it’s a minefield really. I’m also looking into fertilysis who do tests that are more affordable, and you get a free initial consultation with them to see if there are specific tests you should do x

[Blueberry211 in reply to Nenad]

i did era alice and emma as well. Era showed a 12 hr pre receptivity and we corrected that in 2 nd and 3 rd transfer.

[Nenad in reply to Blueberry211]

really hope your doctor can help. Infertility can be very lonely especially when we’re trying to do research alongside our doctors’ advice. Try to stay positive xx

[IVFmumma in reply to Blueberry211]

so sorry to hear this 😔 it really is so unfair sometimes. Sending you strength. The hardest part is no answers. I would keep taking all meds though until the repeat bloods. Sorry you're going through this ♥️ x

hcg 84 at 9dp5dt is not low!

What's important is the doubling after 48 hours.

Best of luck!

[Blueberry211 in reply to Jana483]

84 is at day 11

[Jana483 in reply to Blueberry211]

still it's close to 100

Don't lose hope!

You are pregnant until proven otherwise!

So sorry you are going through this it really really tough. I tested today 7dp5dt and have faint positives but I always think the worst and I’m preparing myself for the lines to get fainter and crush my heart . I had a chemical in June last year and can’t help thinking this is another. My reading was 19 so I’m thinking 84 you are still in the game but I understand it is difficult to remain positive . Sending you all the luck and love ❤️
