hcG levels and cramping

hi ladies,

It seems the 2WW anxiety was nothing considering what’s happening in my mind rind now😭

So had my second beta measured today:

10dp5dt 1901

12dp5dt 3756

They seem quite good numbers, but I can’t stop being worried as I have really painful cramps?! Could that mean anything bad?

Also, dr advised me to go and see him tomorrow isn’t too early for a scan?

Any stories/ advice are welcome!

Congratulations 🎊 👏 We had our positive on 13 Nov as well, my HCG was 289 so very impressed with yours.

Did you transfer 1 or two embryos?

Wishing you the best of success 🙌

As for the cramping last night I had the worst cramps, couldn't sleep from the anxiety and back ache. I ended up messaging the clinic for feedback as the pain seem more than usual cramps however has settled overnight. I did work a 12 hour shift yesterday so perhaps just extra exhausted

Congratulations hun🎉🎊yay I told you I felt Nov felt lucky🤭🤭 so so happy for you🩵

We actually transferred 2 embryos this time so let’s hope🤞

I actually felt cramping since day 1 of ET so tbh with you when I’m logically thinking it’s nothing to worry about, but they seem to get more intense the last couple of days!

I wouldn’t worry in case you most probably overworked yourself! Take of yourself and im wishing all the best for the next 9months🤞🩵

Good sign HCG levels increasing - congratulations Cramps are quite common - due to increased blood flow + effects of hormones Hope it settles soon

Take care

Hey, I had really severe cramps with my little one, to the point I’d have to lie down and want to cry. We managed to get an early scan at the EPU at 6 weeks and all was good. So definitely worth having a scan if you can xx
