Hi ladies,
I have come from one of the IVF threads and have also posted on the infertility chat - just trying to get some answers!
I had a fresh transfer of a 3 day embryo on 24 Jan. My hcg levels on 4th of Feb came back as 50. So borderline ok'ish.
But following that they were very slow to rise:
6 Feb - 55.5
8 Feb - 74.6
And then starting doubling:
11 Feb - 191.0
14 Feb - 500+ (can't remember exactly as was told over the phone)
I am going back for more bloods tomorrow. They did do a scan yesterday too and though they saw something in uterine. But too early to tell. I was scared of ectopic having had one last September but they couldn't see any sign of one. Although I guess it cannot be definitely ruled out yet.
I guess my question is could that initial slow rise be a blip/slow implantation? I know the levels are generally on the low side of normal. Has anybody been in the same boat and it all turned out ok??
