Has anyone had low hcg levels and have then gone on to achieve a healthy pregnancy?

[ShouldKnowByFriday]

Have had two tests, one last Wednesday and the other yesterday (Tuesday) and while levels have doubled since first test, it dawned on me that all is not well accoding to figures which are 38.4 in first test and 182 in second. Am having another test on Saturday and read on internet that hcg levels are not an exact indication but a scan is so am still hoping but really not wanting to get my hopes up.

TIA.

Thank you!

oh that's fab news - well done. Phew. Keeping everything crossed for you

Thank you Debbsy!

Any news on your scan yet?

It's tomorrow. Will post in the evening!

okay, good luck. xx

thinking of you, hope all is well.

Had another blood test, the dr who had no bedside manner whatsoever started to worry about an ectopic preg, etc, he double checked my hcg level for the saturday test and instead of 1851 it was actually 185.1 so not good as previously it was 152 I think and it should have doubled twice. So he was ready to send me for scan, blood test at UCH and laparoscopy (?) but then calmed down when he got my real results. Will get result tonight and call from the snr cons so I can ask questions about the next step. As there is fluid near my ovary he still hasn't ruled out ectopic and said that i must go to nearest a & e if i start to feel ill, dizzy, pain, etc. I was nervous about this scan and I heard exactly what I was dreading.

oh, I'm sory you havent had good news. do they think it is ectopic then? how many weeks are you? they sounds like they have messed you around a bit, poor you, how are you bearing up?

Poor you - it's such a horrible stressful limbo period. How immensely frustrating that they messed up the Sat. blood test results. I have been in a very similar position to you (down to being told to come straight in if I had pain etc), and everything turned out well in the end. I do hope that it turns out well for you too.

My levels are now dropping and are now 152 so dr said my body is returning to its normal state and will miscarry soon. Thye want to do a blood test on Sunday but I can't so will go on Monday to check that levels are falling. Will take a break of one cycle from the clomid, get scanned and then start again. I'm okay really. The shock was that the dr wanted to send me straight to UCH and i had visions of having surgery and felt ill! Off to bed now, only slept three hours last night.

skbf - i am so so sorry that you are having to go through this. It's so bloody unfair isn't it?

Take lots of care and i truly wish you lots of strengh and good thoughts.

Good luck

sorry to hear that the levels are dropping . Hope that you don't need any surgery.
