15dpo and hcg only 13- any hope?

[lyra stardust]

Hi ladies, Just hoping for some advice. I have been TTC for 10/11 months and have done 5 cycles of FSH ovulation induction (for PCOS).

I thought we had success as I have been getting BFP for 2 days (on 3 different brands lol), but today hcg was only 13. The nurse seemed to imply that there was not much hope and that's things are "unlikely" to progress. I have to say that I am thinking she might be right as I peed on another stick and the line was much fainter than yesterday, which seems to imply that things are going backwards rather than just being late implantation.

Does anyone have any experience with this and any words of wisdom (or support). I'm heartbroken. These last few months have been tough and I believed we had done it. Is it game over do you think or can I hope?

I have to have repeat bloods on friday.

If no hope, what can I expect? Will I bleed soon and it be clear on way or the other?

Just hoping someone can help. Thanks x

Oh sweetie i am sorry you can't be jumping for joy. You won't know until the bloods come back, so I will keep things crossed for you x

I'm sorry your results are not as good as hoped for, but just wanted to wish you luck for Friday hun

You can always hope. Your next blood tests should give you an answer, whether your HCG is increasing or not. More

Just wanted to wish you well. I have been in a similar position and it sucks.

To answer your question about AF, it would be just like a normal period, maybe a little heavier.

I hope Friday brings good news x

Well the hcg had gone rock bottom so I have to stop the progesterone and let nature take it's course.

I really hate the term chemical pregnancy, it feels like it was never real in the first place, but it feels pretty real to me. I;m sorry to all those who have suffered losses later than this, which must be so much harder, but it still hurts.

Thank you for your support and kind words, it helps. Especially since the clinic nurses didn't offer any at all.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news You are completely valid in grieving as although it's called a "chemical pregnancy" you must have conceived in order for your body to create hcg. That means that your's and your partner's DNA combined to create the beginnings of a life and no matter how brief that spark existed, it still contained all your hopes and dreams for that life.

Take care of yourself and my thoughts are with you during this tough time. ♥

Oh hugs babe x

Im sorry to hear your sad news.

You are entitled to grieve your loss no matter how early you lost your baby. It WAS real and you WERE pg. This is never an easy thing to go through.

thank you xxx

does anyone know how soon after stopping the progesterone pessaries I can expect the bleed? Just want this to be over.

I really so much appreciate the kind words.

I'm so sorry lyra stardust. Just wanted to say that you have every right to feel the loss of your pregnancy as strongly as anyone else. We have hopes and dreams for our babies the second we know of their existence. I've had chem pregnancies and much later ones and I can honestly say that they are all heartbreaking.

Take care of yourself over the next few weeks and take the time to grieve any way you need to.
