It’s more than doubled so that’s positive. It might have implanted a little later and given it was frozen they can take their time. Everything crossed 🤞 ✨ Great that you will repeat the HCG again, it’ll help know how it’s going x

it’s still really early on, and it’s doubling so it’s doing everything it should be, that’s a very positive sign. My successful frozen was low to start with (around 36 the day after my positive test) and stayed low til i was 5 weeks. This will feel like the longest few days ever but if it continues to double, even if low, that’s good 👍 I’ve heard frozen transfers can implant a bit later, too

Congrats on your BFP.

I had a slow rising HCG which turned into a fast rising one but it was just an empty gestational sac. It was in the right place so not an etopic pregnancy.

Repeating the test is a good as it will give you and the doctors a better idea of next steps: fingers crossed it is a late implant like suggested.

Take care of yourself this IVF journey is a rollercoaster

My hcg was low too and I had bloods taken a few times. Once nhs , twice private. Occasionally they didn't double every 48 hrs. I can't remember the numbers sorry as its been a year but I think first set were around 100 by 2 weeks. I was told not to focus on number , the positive is that it's increasing.

I’ve had low numbers at day 10 that ended in a chemical but they went down at day 12. Yours doubled which is a really good sign. I completely get how anxious you must be though. Fingers crossed the third test comes back ok x

Just updating this feed, as I always like to know the outcome when searching for certain things, I went for my 7 week scan yesterday, baby was visible with a strong heartbeat. Hoping this can help if anyone else has low HCG to start ❤️

Thank you for this update. I am 7DP5DT today and my HCG is 13.3iu. I have been beating myself up thinking it’s too low. I really hope it doubles in 48 hours.

Just to add another update! Had my 12 week scan last week! Everything progressing as it should with a very active and wiggly baby ❤️

I'm hoping this gives others hope who are experiencing similar HCG results.

I think as long as there doubling the numbers do not matter.

Not what you're looking for?
