low hcg levels @ 4 weeks

[Bee_86]

Hello all,

I got my BFP yesterday at 4 weeks (9dp5dt) and when I called my nurse to let her know she offered a blood test for the same day.

I got the result this morning and my hcg is only 20.

She also measured my progesterone. The day before transfer it was 182, yesterday it was 44.5. I am already on it pessaries but will be starting lubion asap (waiting for the text to order it)

does any body have a similar experience?

I will have my next blood test on Friday. We want it to be 80 but then if it’s going to double every 48 hours. On Friday I will be 4+4.

trying to hold on to hope and positivity 🤍✨💫

hi, ive had low levels with my successful and unsuccessful pregnancies so you’re def not out yet! Was it a FET? They do tend to start a bit slower. For my successful FET my numbers were: 47 @ 10dp5dt / 76 @ 12dp5dt. She’s now 6mo on Friday. At the time I posted worried and there were others with low 30s that were successful. You’ll only really know with the next test - I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! X

Thank you. I took another pregnancy test today at 12dp5dt and it looks like it is getting lighter.

it was a fresh transfer.

[Lolalules in reply to Bee_86]

I haven’t seen your first but the line looks good for this early on. It also depends on what tests you’ve used (e.g. same both times) and which MU… the beta will tell you for sure though the wait is agonising i know. Will be thinking of you xx

[Bee_86 in reply to Lolalules]

here is a picture of all 4 tests. There just isn’t enough progression at all and todays test is definitely lighter than yesterdays.

It does look slightly lighter but you can see the progression if you look at it as 2 days. Have you had your beta results back?

[Bee_86 in reply to Lolalules]

I’m just waiting to do the blood test now. Will get results later today. But here is a pic of my tests this morning 💖

It does look darker than 11dp5dt to me?

Yes to positivity (although easier said than done)!

I'm on a similar boat in terms of the timeline, getting my second beta tomorrow (14dp5dt) & hoping for a good increase but anxious.

Sending lots of positive energy your way. Grow little one grow xxx

so yesterday I did my second beta and it came back as 56.

My consultant and nurse don’t seem worried. They suspect my baby implanted late.

Third beta is Tuesday which will be 17dp5dt and 5+1 weeks. Praying for a big increase. Scan won’t be until early January,

[Lolalules in reply to Bee_86]

That’s great news! Keeping my fingers crossed and keep up posted 😊

[BethanyDavey in reply to Bee_86]

Hi, just wondered how you were getting on, I’m in a similar position now? Xxx

[Bee_86 in reply to BethanyDavey]

Hello, so my 3rd beta was 269. The pregnancy tests continued to get darker and darker. We then had our first scan at 7w2d and unfortunately we were having a missed miscarriage. I miscarried naturally a week later. I heard so many success stories with low betas so please don’t give up hope. Sending love and hugs xx

[BethanyDavey in reply to Bee_86]

Aww thank you for the response. Really sorry you had to go through that. Take care of yourself and stay strong. Xxx
