    Started Clexane, bleeding, now HCG hasn't doubled

    Any knowledge shared would be so appreciated.

    I just did my second FET which came back positive.
    My first HCG level was 38, the next being 120. I started Clexane for the first time the following day and the day after that I had bleeding. So now today I have just got my BT which has a HCG level of only 157. The nurse told me it was rising, but of course hasn't doubled. Now I still don't know if the bleeding was a result of clexane or if I was losing my pregnancy.
    I now have to wait another 2 days for next BT.
    Can there be any positive outcome for this? I am just feeling so useless at the moment.

    Thank you

    Your HCG does not have to double. If it is still rising it is a very good sign. The bleeding is probably due to the Clexane. Clexane was origionally (and still is) used as a blood thinner

    As Alan has said any rise in HCG is good. I bleed with clexane till i was 15 weeks with this pg, i was on 40mg, my bleeding did settle when changed to 20mg on my ultrasound at 9/10 weeks they discovered a heamotoma but could not pick it up at my scan at 5, 6, and 8 weeks(i had lots due to the bleeding.

    will be thinking of you in the next few days and wish you the best for your upsoming BT

    How many days did you have between all bt?
