HCG 41.8 at 13dp5dt FET - any success stories?

[LucyAvalon]

As the title suggests, a low hcg of 41.8 at 13dp5dt. I didn’t test positive until 10dp so had hoped it was a late implanter due to being a frozen cycle but feels like this is very slow progression!
would love to hear from anyone who’s had similar hcg at this stage.
Thanks

Hi OP, I am so sorry you're in this position. Unfortunately with hcg that low, your chance of a live birth is near enough zero. There are a lot of studies out there - I just found one that showed no one with hcg under a 100 (which you would expect to be the case for you) on 14dp5dt had a live birth.

Additionally, there is no such thing as just being a late implanters - as in late implanters are real, but it is heavily correlated with loss - as with low hcg, a positive that isn't high enough to show on a test until 10dp5dt has a very, very small chance of success.

I am so sorry you're in this position. Are you getting another beta? Have your clinic spoken to you about the warning signs for ectopic pregnancies.

Thanks @MinPinSins , yes I’d seen the study too so am expecting the outcome will not be great but thought worth asking!
my clinic have actually been pretty rubbish. I went and got the beta independently as they didn’t feel the need to do one. When I told them the results they suggested doing another and letting them know! I have another test booked for tomorrow.
I had also wondered about the risk of ectopic so will keep an eye out.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it!

Can confirm that second beta was 11.9 - chemical pregnancy

Sadly was in a similar position which ended in a miscarriage at 6w.

Hcg was 4 at 6dpt, 10 at 7dpt and 15 at 8dpt
