Low HCG 13dp5dt looking for success stories

I have recently had a FET and have come to the end of my TWW. It was a tense second week as I tested positive from 6dp5dt with a vvvfl, likes progressed but very slowly. I was convinced it was a third chemical.

However lines continued to get darker. Albeit slowly. My clinic OTD was yesterday at 13dp5dt. Tests were positive (attached).

I had a private blood test yesterday and results have come back as 157iu/l.

Everything I've read signifies this is vey low and implies that I should keep protecting my heart... a couple of clinical studies I have read and one particular shared by the remembryo guy shared my odds of live birth are 4 - 28%.

Is there anyone who's had bloods who'd be happy to share their results with me please? I guess I'm looking for some hope. My clinic has scheduled me for bloods with them tomorrow too so should be able to get the rise and assess better when these come back.

After 3 ECs and 5 transfers I was so hopeful it might bey time but it's looking less and less likely.

Hi, sorry you are feeling anxious. I had been in this situation last April, I know how hard it is. The only way to know for sure would be to get another beta done 48-72 hours apart. If it doubles then it's great. If not, then it will be more agonizing wait unfortunately. What's your clinic's advice? Wishing you all the best 🍀

@Serendipity24 thank you so much for your comment. I have a beta with the clinic tomorrow and will get the results on Friday. I paid for a private beta yesterday which gave me the result, so will wait to see what happens I guess. The limbo is so hard. I know odds aren't in my favour.

Keeping this updated:

just had my phone call from the clinic.

1st beta 13dp5dt - 157
2nd beta 15dp5dt - 567

This roller coaster ride continues. I just burst into tears in the phone to the poor nurse. Going in for third beta (second with them) on Monday morning.

Update on bloods

13dp5dt = 157
15dp5dt = 567
19dp5dt = 2699

Clinic is happy it's doubling so now I have to wait until 23rd Jan for my scan. It's seems forever away I think I'll be about 8 weeks by the time they take it. Will update again at next milestone for anyone who might stumble in this post. I was grateful for other posts who had done the same and gave me hope.
