Line progression and beta HCG increase

Wondering if anyone has any experience/ advice
So I had a CP last month and bled 6th-10th may, I had 3 negative tests after my bleeding had finished on 21st CD 16 I had a positive pregnancy test (I picked up the wrong test and meant to be testing ovulation!)
I ended up at EPU, they scanned and saw nothing in my womb but a bright light that they weren't happy to say was early pregnancy and my lining was thicker 16mm

They took beta hcg bloods and they were 29
I had a repeat 48 hours later and they were 42 so a 45% increase

Now I know this isn't the increase we were hoping for but I'm also having good line progression on tests (pictures below)

I'm back this afternoon for more bloods, the consensus at the moment is that I've ovulated early, I'm still on CD 22 of a 28-30 day cycle

I am trying to be cautiously optimistic but terrified I'm heading for another miscarriage :(

That does look like a great line progression and I’ll hold out it keeps getting darker for you and another scan around 6weeks shows what you need to see! Sometimes most CP or MC you are more fertile

What about the increase in beta hcg any idea? He gradual increase concerned me
Just had more bloods done so hopefully tomorrow I'll get those back and that'll be a good increase
The wait is so stressful

I’ve been where you are and no one can tell you either way. Our bloods didn’t always magically double. Sometimes lower and sometimes sped along. Hopefully you’ll get more information from the new bloods 🤞🏼It really does suck and people don’t understand it unless they’ve been there. But every day is a step further along

I’m so very sorry to hear that @Eatsleepbakerepeat What did the doctor say? How are you today?

Eatsleepbakerepeat · 29/05/2024 14:58

Planning on getting me back in Monday, bloods and scan, see where we're at, I'm not hopeful at all, bit on a head fuck my tests are getting darker, so I have no idea.

Praying its not an ectopic, but hopeful as had a scan last week that looked OK just with a bright spot in my womb, I know it's going to end in miscarriage but wish I knew when, no cramping or bleeding at the moment

No advice I'm afraid but thinking of you, such a tough time

SwingingPlantar · 29/05/2024 16:00

The fact that they could see something in your womb is a good sign it’s not ectopic.
The wait is so so hard I’m sorry. The darkening lines at the moment are still good. I would be the same still testing as like you I would want to in know if they stopped or lightened before anything happened. People who haven’t been through it won’t understand the repeated testing and need for information.

At this stage all they can do is test and see trends and I have everything crossed for you.

Still pregnant thank you for asking. Have had a couple of scans with a heart beat.

I'm so glad you had a good outcome!!! That's amazing, sending lots of love for the rest of your pregnancy!

Do you mind me asking what % your levels were increasing

It's so hard, I don't see how it's going to be viable, it's not doubling as they want, they did say on the scan it couldn't Fully rule out ectopic but hopefully with the bright spot in my uterus I'll be OK 🤞🤞🤞
We said we wouldn't test but as you said I want the heads up before bleeding starts, but this morning didn't provide that! 🙈🤦‍♀️

Thank you. first one was only 50 something when we should have been a few weeks so seemed too low but then and then we didn’t have 48hr but I think every 4 days and done privately. But there was a website I found that showed a graph and you out the days in. But it did pick up and speed up. The clear blue digital didn’t change to the weeks as it should have either.

But understand the caution with numbers that aren’t doubling as you’d expect and slowing down.
i know everyone wants to say “you’ll be fine” as a comforting thing, but sometimes you want someone to say, I understand that’s does sound scary and shit and that it might go wrong. So I won’t just say keep hoping but send you a hug for whatever happens and someone is listening 😘

Thank you! In my heart I know it won't be OK, I just hope I miscarry naturally!
Don't suppose you know the website you used do you?

One of them was this one https://www.wantbaby.info/calculators/beta-hcg-levels but you’d need to know a date of ovulation or cycle start date I think would work. But I know nothing anyone can say will take away the worry until the next test and you know. So sorry this is happening off the back of your last MC. Really does suck
