@yommie I’m so so sorry for your loss. The limbo is awful, and then the pain afterwards is just heartbreaking. I wish there was something I could say to make it better. I hope you are taking gentle care of yourself and giving yourself the space to grieve. ❤️

@gnosis1234 It’s so tough to say - I think with hcg not rising I’d personally assume it’s a miscarriage and it’s probably ok. The day my 2nd miscarriage was confirmed with bleeding, a drop in hCG, and no fetal pole on an ultrasound (at 8 weeks) I had a glass of wine that same night. That said, I...

@gnosis1234 I’m glad it helped ❤️ wish you the very best, I hope that it’s not ectopic and that you’re able to get through this very tough chapter with the least amount of difficulty

@gnosis1234 By 6w3d when I went in they were able to hear the heartbeat - my RE said that at 6w exactly we may not, but did expect a heartbeat at 6w3d. If you’re around that point it should be enough time. I will say in your case I think the scan is mostly for peace of mind and to make sure...

@gnosis1234 I’m so so sorry you’re going through this. ❤️ If it would give you peace of mind I think it’s worth asking for another hCG test. If you have concerns around a potential ectopic pregnancy it may also be worth asking for an ultrasound prior to making a final decision on termination to...

@jessi1194 My beta at exactly 10 DPO was 44 and my RE thought that was a great number! I’m currently 18w2d with my last check-up at 17w3d. I don’t think that’s a low number at all for 10DPO!

@lamikin I can’t call it a successful pregnancy yet because I’m only 10.5 weeks in so things could still go wrong, but these were my first three betas: 10 DPO: 44 12 DPO: 149.8 (27.16 hrs doubling time) 14 DPO: 266 (57.94 hrs doubling time) When I got the drop from 27hrs to 58hrs doubling...

Mind you, I say all this and I can’t go 3 weeks without going to get a scan to make sure things are still going ok, so we all have our vices! 😅🤣

@tgrills I’m so glad you stopped testing! Keep it up, you got this!!! My next piece of unsolicited advice is to also put the FRER tests away too 😅❤️ trust me, the fewer tests the less anxiety!

@tgrills I used inito as well and I can TOTALLY understand how tempting it can be to test in early pregnancy and use the LH details as a proxy for hcg. My only reminder would be that although the LH strip can mistakenly pick up hcg it obviously isn’t perfect! Also, how diluted your urine is can...

@txstrocker Just wanted to second this - I have a Fragile X premutation and my dad’s family (comes from his side) has a history of primary ovarian insufficiency and early menopause. So as merp said above, it isn’t necessarily genetic but there are genetic conditions that can result in a family...

@domenka I would guard your heart at this point. ❤️ By 6w (assuming you have your dates right) you should see a gestational sac and yolk sac. The hcg slowing down this much is also concerning. I’m so sorry I don’t have a more optimistic point of view to share. I wish you the very best no matter...
