My first pregnancy was successful and resulted in my daughter’s birth in September 2022, my second was a mmc at 12 weeks this past September (confirmed monosomy x), my third was a mmc at 8 weeks this past January (cause unknown). For all of...

    My low betas didn’t double.. I think I’m out :(

    I created this thread earlier this week about my first low beta that only showed 65 at 15 DPO. My Dr didn’t seem to be concerned and my progesterone was around 32. Well I went back 48 hours later (17 DPO) and I just got the call that second beta has come back at 94 and progesterone at 26. The...

    Heavy bleeding approaching 3rd trimester

    Hi. I would like to have some opinions on my situation. Had three very heavy bleedings of bright red and blood clots bigger than a 2 euro coin: at 12 weeks, at 23+5 weeks and 25+5 weeks. First pregnancy at 31 y.o. All followed pretty much the same pattern: out of nothing gushing of bright red...

    4 weeks 5 days

    Super early into my pregnancy but the anxiety is KILLING ME. It took us 14 cycles to get here and I just want to make sure everything is ok. I got my first hcg draw last week at 3 weeks 6 days and i’m going in tomorrow for a repeat. My hcg was 24. I don’t know why i’m so nervous about the results.

    no rise in hCG-OB just told me I’m definitely miscarrying

    I had a missed miscarriage with my first pregnancy back in December at 8 weeks, had a D&C. We tried again right away and I’m now 6 weeks pregnant, have been feeling great and super positive. My OB sent me for 2 hCG levels 48 hours apart. My first one on Thursday was 2004. Two days later it was...

    Crying my eyes out over low HCG at 10 DPO. Is this a chemical?

    Yesterday (9 DPO) I dreamt of taking a positive pregnancy test. Woke up, tested and got a very faint line on 2 tests. Was super excited. Today the line was just as faint but I didn’t stress it. My ob asked me to come in for estrogen and progesterone tests the second I suspect I may be...

    I now know what a blighted ovum is…

    Went in yesterday at 7w2 and had my first ultrasound and I’m in shock. I’m so annoyed with myself. I should have been more prepared for this. We were so naive and never expected there to just be…nothing. I knew to not get my hopes up and MC are very common, but never thought I’d know BEFORE I...

    12dpiui and blood HcG at 5iu/l

    Got a call from the nurse with the results and booking me for a re-test on Thursday. Is this level too low to even consider myself pregnant? The nurse says it's not possible that this is still the hcg from the trigger showing in my blood but I have no idea what to think - 5 iu/l doesn't even...

    Can anyone here take a look at these 5w1d ultrasound images?

    Should we track HcG levels?

    Hi fellow worriers When I find this subreddit I felt like I find my comrades, so please don’t take my greeting using “worriers” as offensive. If anything, I feel so relatable to so many stories and questions posted here. I also find the responses so overwhelmingly heartwarming and comforting. I...

    Beta went up 77%. Anyone with previously successful pregnancy w/o doubling at the beginning?

    My 11dp5dt was 265 and my 13dp5dt was 468. That’s a doubling time of 58 hrs and an increase of 77%. I just had my third beta today so 🤞. But did anyone else have a successful pregnancy with first betas not doubling? Edit: whew! Third beta is 1000+

    How to prepare for what seems inevitable?

    TW: impending miscarriage, heartbeat after miso, small sac, bad HCG numbers… I don’t know where to post this… I don’t belong in the miscarriage sub yet. I guess I don’t belong anywhere. I just need to get it all out because I feel so alone. Long story short, I’m pregnant from an IUI. HCG...

    HCG Disappointment (6 weeks)

    Feeling pretty down right now. I just got my second HCG results back and they aren’t anywhere near where I thought they’d be. I hear doubling every 72 hours can be okay, but I have a bad feeling about this. I had a miscarriage back in September of last year (in which my HCG was actually very...

    Very Early Labs - Low Progesterone

    TW: MC / pregnancy loss (Background: MMC in July w/ D&C) I got a light positive FRER on the 18th at about 9 DPO.
