15 day post retrieval low HCG...need some uplifting testimonials

[June171957]

Hi guys, new here and just looking for a place to help uplift my spirits and maybe hear some success stories to keep the hope alive...we had our egg retrieval 15 days ago and a 3 day transfer, it’s our 3 cycle of IVF and our last one resulted in a non viable pregnancy, today we did our blood test and tested positive but with an HCG level of 15 and our doctor expected 25, we are set to retest I’m 2 days and hopefully the hormone doubled...we’ve been testing for the past 4-5 days and our faint line is slowly getting darker but gotta admit the call knocked the wind out of us and just looking for a place to air this out...

So you are 12 days post 3 day transfer? Which is technically 15 DPO? Yes unfortunately that is really low - my clinic looks for hcg of around 100 at this point and I had a medical research journal which started low likelihood of success with hcg below 100 at this point sorry x

Thank you for your response, we retest tomorrow but we are not holding our breath, it is what it is, on to Cycle #4 we go..

Just San update, our last HCG test came back at 114 on Friday, still low, but has been tripling and doubling, tomorrow is the next set of bloods and hoping we are in the 200’s then, any similar experiences to ours out there?
