Hi everyone, I really hope you are all okay.
It's OTD for me today and I was getting quite hopeful as feeling nauseous and very pregnant these last few days, however, JCG came back at only 37 and I'm in bits. We have to go back in 48 hours to see if things have changed but stats are not in our favour.
After the missed miscarriage in March, I'm feeling pretty hopeless. Can anyone give me any hope or advice for getting through these next few days?
Thank you as always xx
So sorry to read this lovely, it's just so damn hard. No advice I'm afraid but sharing solidarity as I know just how difficult this is ❤️ always happy to chat if you need xxx
I’m so sorry, it’s so tough all this. I really hope that the number is better on the next test and all will be ok. It’s horrendous being in limbo
I’m sorry you’re feeling worried, hopefully the next results can give some reassurance. I was told that the first number didn’t tell you much, it’s the increase that they’re looking for. It’s on the lower end (mine was too) but still within normal range, the hcg ranges are huge. It doesn’t make you less pregnant or mean it’s not viable, levels just vary by person and even for the same person each pregnancy is different.
I had a mmc earlier this year too and it has made me very doubtful and anxious of everything so can totally sympathise. I’m sorry you went through that. I’ve found just taking things day by day and trying not to think too far ahead helps a bit. And that each embryo and pregnancy is its own thing with its own chance xx
I am so sorry that your positive result is tainted by this additional worry.
I just wanted to offer you a bit of hope, as I was in the same situation a few months ago. My first b-HCG results 9dp5dt was 12, or barely positive. Yet, the number kept doubling/tripling every 48h over the next few weeks... and miraculously this little pig-headed clump of cell decided to stick around. I am now 34w3d pregnant and still cannot quite believe it, even if he is kicking my ribs really hard as I write this.
It's true that low HCG numbers are worrying, but a good outcome IS possible. Deep breaths-- keep taking your medication (if you are taking any), and don't loose hope. Sending you lots of positive thoughts!!!
My first HCG on OTD was only 79. I’m now 25 weeks 💖 It’s the doubling that matters. You’ve gotten to step 1 ☺️ Got everything crossed for you x
Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond and share. After feeling very strong early pregnancy symptoms I felt so positive this could be the one until yesterday. I will hold on to hope although not expecting good things to come. Been so tearful and struggling to get out of bed today but know I'll get through eventually. Thank you again xxx❤️
hey, just wanted to message to wish you luck 💪🏼 as others say, it’s the doubling that counts. I’ve started with a higher hcg that has plummeted, and my cousin had a starting level somewhere in the 30’s (with a negative home test the day before) - she’s now well past the 12 week mark and all is going well. Try to stay positive, although I know it’s a hideous wait xx
Thank you for all your support - it makes everything a little easier.
I'll keep this post updated so others searching can see a range of experiences with low Beta starts.
I've had my second HCG blood test today and awaiting results but sadly started spotting yesterday so I think it's over. In many ways if it is going to fail I'd rather it was sooner than going through the heartache.
For anyone else having this experience, I hope you are coping with the waiting and find some peace whatever the outcome.
Sending love xx
Another update. Results are in and as expected, HCG has dropped to 14. Taking solace from the fact it had a good go at growing, but maybe not destined to be. Once HCG drops to zero I'll book in for the next transfer.
Take care all and remember my story is just one story xxx
I’m so sorry to hear this. Look after yourself and wishing you all the luck in the world for your next transfer
Thank you xx
I am so sorry to hear this. Look after yourself as you process things and I do hope the next transfer is the one xx
Ah sorry to read this update - I love that you are taking some comfort from it - it can happen maybe this one just wasn't the one.
Sending lots of love and solidarity xx
So sorry to hear that your hcg dropped. When I had a chemical pregnancy, I had an initial HCG of 50 after my transfer and then the number also dropped. Yes it's an early loss but it doesn't make the loss any less painful. Take care of yourself. Sending positive thoughts your way.
I'm so sorry to read this Minniemouse88 it's so painful 😞 I've unfortunately been there, if you ever want a message/rant/chat do send me a DM. For now be kind to yourself and remember that all of your emotions are valid, none of it makes you a bad or a weak person. It's just a sh*tty situation all over. But you will get through this xxx
Thank you so much for your message. I've followed your story and know you've had a really tough ride too. I hope your new approach brings you the joy you deserve and yes, may well DM you at some point and likewise, please do if you need a rant too! Xxx
