Low Hcg Early Pregnancy

I am a bit stressed and looking for some personal experiences or points of view...

after just doing a FET with IVF i had a positive blood test on 22 sept. the following friday my levels had risen nicely to 733, but last friday my levels were 3000. apparently this is lower than they 'would like'. so i was told i could have either a normal pregnancy with low levels or the baby has stopped developing and i will m/c.

im going for another follow up bloods on friday but am petrified.

has anybody else had low levels at about 6 weeks and still gone on to have a normal pregnancy?

and after researching they say levels can double anywhere from 24-72 hours. so confusing!

I know it must be so hard, sonya, when your results come back a little ambigious, but I have seen many women post on BB about low HCG levels who eventually did go on to have healthy pgs. And it hard to know based on comparing just your last two levels, so I know you're thinking of calling Concept to ask for another BT and I think that's a great idea. Please let us know how you go with that. You should still be able to get in today if you ring them right now.

Hi Sonya
Hang in there hun...it's so hard...step by step...I'm praying that all will be ok. After 5 weeks hcg levels don't always stick to the doubling rule and ultrasound is preferred. Do you have a scan scheduled? I have my first scan at 5.5weeks to rule out ectopic so they can definately scan you at 6 weeks no worries...will be here waiting for good news...or to keep you company...whatever you need xxx

thanks girls. left a message with the clinic and just received a call back. im going in for bloods tomorrow as i just want to know one way or the either, so i know whether to start greiving or just focus on a healthy bub. so two very different extremes. eres hoping levels have risen dramatically or at least a booking for a scan. will keep you posted tomorrow arvo when i know more...

my 2nd levels weren't as high as I expected I went to my scan expecting the worse but all was good and from my ticker you will see jack was perfect:)

Thinking of you sweetie...I remember this wait so clearly...praying for your 'happy ever after' xxx

Hi Sonya
Just wishing you good luck for tomorrow, glad you got in earlier.
Take care

Wanted to pop in and wish you the best today for your BT. I hope your levels have increased to such a point that it blows all your worries right out of the water.

Goodluck with your BT today Sonya. Thinking of you.

Same from me, Sonya.

Wishing you the best of luck with BT.

hugs sonya, i am glad you don't have to wait until tomorrow for your BT.

well im a little relieved.

leves have come back at 6200. apparently my FS is happier with this result even though still a little low. going for scan at 8am monday. heres hoping for that heartbeat!

Im not smiling at my pregnant self yet, but i dont feel shaky and about to burst in huge sobs. so things are looking better. thanks for your support and wishes girls and Rols....

Excellent news sonya! They're still climbing and that's very good to hear. I was hoping you posted before my internet connection got cut off!

That's great!!!
Cannot wait to hear how fantastic your scan is.
Take care and don't go crazy during the wait

It's one hurdle you've overcome, Sonya. I will be praying for an excellent result at your scan on Monday.

:hug: Hang in there!
