4 weeks - HCG anxiety

[TryingforPositive]

Hi there

Am hoping to get some other views and calm my nerves a bit. Have been TTC for 2 years - 2 failed transfers, 1 successful transfer but the pregnancy unfortunately ended in fatal fetal complications, and recently had my 4th transfer... which was successful (so far!).

However, we had a beta test today (4+3) and the results came back at 90.

Trying to stay positive but anxiety is creeping in as it feels very low. Scan is not for another 3 weeks so no idea how I'm going to stay sane...

Has anyone else been in a similar position?

Hi there @TryingforPositive, I’m right there with you.

had a miscarriage in December and got BFP first of March, so I’m 6 weeks today.

got a serum hcg at 13 DPO and it was 16 so not even fully positive for pregnancy.

ive done test progression from then until about last Wednesday. They’re dark now, but the progression was SLOW. I have a scan booked in when I’ll be 7 weeks and I have no idea how it’s going to go. The anxiety is real.

still have symptoms and have had no pain or bleeding (touch wood) and I’ve stopped testing as I was torturing myself.

ultimately I can’t change the outcome.

I’ve read A LOT about it the past 2 weeks and it goes one way or the other, low and slow can be fine, or it isn’t for some.

in sorry you’ve had such a tough time in your TTC journey so far.

im keeping everything crossed for you, and i pray everything turns out fine.

selfishly, i pray that for me too.

Hi @AiRoo. Line progression with systems and no bleeding is all very positive!! I spent all yesterday Googling and found lots of good news stories about people who just had a slow start but then saw progression ramp up and all ended well - so fingers crossed we'll be in that bucket too :)

I ran out of pregnancy tests yesterday and decided it was good for my mental health not to test - but then panicked as I was going to bed and ordered a load more! I know roughly when I should see 2-3 and 3+ on the Clear Blue tests... so I think I'd rather use that as a gauge than wait in the dark for 3 weeks... It really is torture isn't it!

Thank you for replying - have everything crossed for both of us xxx

Morning @TryingforPositive howre you’re doing?

ahh I get the panic of having no tests!! I nearly grabbed a digital in tesco yesterday but stopped myself due to the fear of not seeing 3+.

im genuinely so so so scared, of the potential grief.

please please let me know how you get on. Really manifesting hard that all is well, and I’m sure it will be! Let me know how your testing goes too!

much love xx
