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.

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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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 ❤️
