Low HCG levels

[joanne2024]

Hi all, just looking for some hope I guess. I had 5day FET. Was testing positive lightly from day 6. Has blood test 12 days after it was 72 then 4 days later was 205. Now I'm going to have my 3rd test today. Dr said it doesn't sound very promising 😔 my urine tests have progressively got darker but no dye stealer. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What was your outcome x

Hello Joanne2024,

Although I am no expert on that, I guess that while it keeps doubling it is a good sign. What are the doctors saying?

[joanne2024 in reply to MammaMia86]

He literally just said its not sounding promising and to take more bloods.

Ohhh...sorry to hear that....I know how heartbreaking it is to hear those things from doctors.....don't loose the hope😘

Hi there - your numbers are better than mine: mine was 42 on day 10, 45 day 12 and 69 day 15...then it fell.

I think you still have a chance, all the best for your blood test today!

[joanne2024 in reply to VeeVee_bb]

Sorry yours was not successful. its so very worrying nothing prepares you for all this

[VeeVee_bb]

No. It all becomes not so innocent anymore: when a positive urine test means nothing 😔

Have you got the result yet?

[joanne2024 in reply to VeeVee_bb]

Won't get them till Tuesday because of the bank holiday x

Oh dear, hope you keep yourself distracted in the meantime eat lots of healthy stuff!

That's not too far off doubling. If it had doubled and doubled again every two days you'd be at 288? But that presumes it perfectly doubles every 48hrs and if you had your second test a little earlier in the day etc... also it's normally a doubling over 48-72 hours so you're not out. I think all you can do is see what your repeat numbers are although I know it's a horrible wait.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I was in a similar situation that ended in a blighted ovum being diagnosed at 8 weeks. My levels kept doubling, barely. At my 6 week scan there was a sac but nothing else. They had me wait two weeks to check for growth and, nothing. There are success stories out there, so don’t give up all hope!

praying for you. We had a 5 day FET, PGT graded 3AB done in March. Our 1st beta was 317, 2 days later it was only 400something. We had to do a 3rd beta 2 days later… we needed it to be over 700 and it was over 1400. We had to have an early scan to make sure baby was in the right place. And thank God he was…. We are 13 weeks and 1 day today. Don’t give up! Hang in there! It is hard not to worry… I can’t give you advice I don’t take myself. I’m so sorry you have to wait so long to get your results! I hate when they do that. We are already stressed enough!

Praying you little one was just a little slow to grow at the beginning but will take off and continue to grow strong 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. Hang in there.

Update my 3rd beta is 474. Have to have a scan on Monday Dr doesn't think it's a viable pregnancy and hopes it's not ectopic 😭 I'm heartbroken. X

hey joanne2024 how you feeling now ? And what about your beta hcg values ?

[joanne2024 in reply to Vipperson]

We stopped testing levels after last results. Confirmed missed miscarriage yesterday.
