HCG Results

**Smudge** · May 7th, 2007, 02:58 PM

I wasn't really sure where to post this but looking for some advice in this dept please

1st FET Apr 23 - 3day emby transferred blood test today.

HCG levels came in at 84. We need to retest on Thursday to see if they are increasing.

The nurse was neither positive or negative and really sat on the fence claiming it was ok but we like them to be higher.

Would love to hear any experiences or advice in relation to HCG levels etc

Thanks

Hi Smudge,
I wish i could help you but i don't know myself.

I really hope this is going to work for you and in two days time yours levels will be going higher and higher.

Thanks so much for that Jo. That was interesting. Why do nurses do this?! So frustrating

Hope you 2ww flies!

It's more important Smudge that your results are doubling. I know how hideous it is to wait for those results... I am looking forward to nice doubling figures for your next test. Do you know what your progesterone is?
Sending you lots of love...

Thanks Deb.

I thought the 2ww was bad, this will be a nightmare! So close yet so far! Progesterone is 25.9 - DH asked Dr about that and he asked if I was experiencing any spotting / AF (thankfully no) and he said he had no problem with that level..

What do you think

I'm seriously going to out of my mind!!

Sweetie I am sending you a big hug... I am sorry that there is nothing I can do to make you feel better. The waiting is horrible.

Good Luck Smudge, that was the exact first beta number of a friend of mine at around about the same time and she has a little boy now. Hang in there, its the doubling that counts! (And Congrats on the BFP by the way!)

good luck smudge
they won't give you a positive yes until yourHCG's hit 250. But you are in the game for the fact that you have at least some HCG.
Good luck

So very sweet. Thank you so much for your kind words. Not long now! Either way we'll be out of this awful holding pattern.

I'll be back Thur afternoon to let you know how we get on
