Am I heading towards a miscarriage?

Hey everyone,
I'm new to this community and I'm hoping to find some support and encouragement on my IVF journey. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for three years, and we recently underwent our third embryo transfer. Unfortunately, our first transfer was a failure and we experienced a late miscarriage after the second.
Right now, I'm feeling incredibly anxious about the outcome of this third transfer. My HCG beta count was 306, which was positive, but I did another test one week later and it was 726. I'm scheduled for a scan on March 16, but the anxiety is really taking over me. I don't feel any symptoms like morning sickness or pain, and it's been six weeks since the transfer. I did another HCG today and it was 1624. Now I am more anxious as to why the HCG number is going up slowly. Is this concerning?
I know that everyone's IVF journey is different, but I could really use some support and positive thoughts right now. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you manage your anxiety while waiting for the scan? Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi lovely.

Didnt want to read and run, so a hopeful bump for you 🤍

Whilst I haven’t been through loss and I’m so sorry that has been your journey - I do remember the anxiety of waiting for a scan. If it’s any consolation I never had any HCG betas, so I’m not even sure mine were folllowing a pattern or anything!! Hopefully someone can provide some support there.

I tried really hard to keep myself busy, I WFH like most of the country now, but found myself going into work more to keep my mind off of it. And sometimes just browsing mumsnet, for some reason just reading stuff helped (I know that’s not for everyone). The time is takes for scans is so so awful, I get it. Is there anyway you can ask for it to be brought forward? Xx
