Slow rise and low numbers on beta hcg - hand hold

3 replies

UserL95 · 04/02/2025 16:05

I got my first positive after almost 4 years of TTC on a natural cycle of all timings.
At 14DPO my beta was 25 and this only rose to 34 at 17dpo. This is a 39% rise which is of course less than optimal. Planning to do another hcg at 19dpo and see what happens.

Any similar stories or hand holds much appreciated.

@UserL95 i am sorry you are going through this. Me and DH are unexplained infertility, and had 2 embryo transfer in december and january. First time beta was 8dp5dt 30 and went down to 8 on 10dp5dt (13,15dpo). In january it only went from 29 to 30 in 48 hours. Both ended in chemical. The thing is, even if it is low if it doubles in 48h it usually means healthy pregnancy. Hope this isnt a chemical for you, but you should be prepared for every outcome

@UserL95 I don't have similar experience but just wanted to send you a big, virtual hug. I've never had a positive before either and can only imagine how stressed you must feel. Wishing you lots and lots of luck! Xx

Thanks for sharing @dormicumema even the less positive outcomes because that could be my reality too. Sorry about both of your losses :(

thanks for the kind words @Eagerlywaiting1990
