Slow increase in HcG levels

I am 5 weeks 6 days pregnant after ICSI and transfer of 2 embryos. Had my first scan this morning. I have previously had an ectopic that ruptured so today was the check that all was in the 'right spot'. It was amazing to see our little bub and we were told everything is the right size, stage etc for our dates.

So you can imagine my surprise when I phoned the clinic this afternoon and my progesterone has gone up to 445 but my HcG has only gone up from 3200 on Tuesday to 3500 today (Friday)? The nurse just told me to come in again on Monday as they hadn't gone up as much as they hoped.

After crying for half an hour I phoned back and spoke to the senior nurse...who had not been shown my results....she was shocked....she was at our scan too! She said the levels are not good but it makes no sense when the scan was great and for us not to lose hope? Easier said than done...this is pregnancy 5 for us and still no bub!!!

So I'm wondering if anyone has heard of anything like this happening to someone and there being a happy result? My cousin has had a heterotopic and I'm wondering if my levels could indicate that???

Thanks for your help!

sorry i cannot help you , just wanted to send you a big hug and try not to stress

Im also going through this worrying time, according to my last period i should be approx 12-13 weeks pregnant. I didnt get any test to show up hcg untill aboute two weeks ago.
So i have been getting like a period that started a couple of days ago, so i went to the hospital, they did beta bt and my levels were 3324.4 . Today i had a second lot done and they were 3372. So they arent rising much at all really. Im a bit scared because unlike you i have not had a scan done yet, and docs keep putting of bringing forward my scan appoinment which is on the 17th of this month.
Im still bleeding acutally, but trying not to panic, as i said the hcg levels took there time coming up in the first place. I dont know whether slow rise is normal or not, this is my first ever pregnancy. I dont have any pain that would suggest that there is anything wrong (just a slight niggling af ache).
Im bleeding persists into tmrw, im gonna storm into the hospital and demand a scan. I live in uk and they just seem to think " oh well there is nothing that can be doen if she is misscarrying". What im concerned is maybe the baby is alright and all this worrying and stressing wont do it any good, if you see what i mean.
Well sorry, i kinda vented there a bit, was only meant to be a small message to say i had similar situation.
anyways good luck, let me know how you get on.

I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through, Ellie and Georgette. The journey to holding a baby in our arms is such a rocky one for so many of us. I hope with all my heart that everything is okay for both of you. Georgette, I hope you get the scan that you've been asking for. Ellie, try to take heart in the scan that you've had and seeing your little bub, right size and stage of development. Thinking of you both and sending you lots of :hug: :hug:

Thanks girls...my FS just phoned me...I asked him to be really honest and he was....he said it doesn't look good...but there's always a chance....only a small chance but still a chance...it's going to be a long wait till next results Monday afternoon!

sending lots of positive thoughts to both of you.

So sorry, Ellie, about the news you've had but I have everything crossed for you for your results on Monday afternoon :pray:

Thanks for your support :)

Ellie, I've just said a little prayer for you. Hope it helps. Hugs.

Ellie, I am so sorry to hear what you have to go through. There is still hope though! So, don't give up until the end! Life is full of miracles! Try not to stress out too much (i know it's easier said than done), but this will allow you to progress in a healthy pregnancy for you and your little bub!

HUGS
