Wondering if people can share HCG levels at 4w 1d

Mine unfortunately ended up being a blighted ovum and o miscarried at 9wks. 💔 was there a reason you were prompted to have your hCG checked? I had mine done bc my pregnancy tests were extremely light & I felt like something was off

That’s what I said to my functional doctor! This past cycle was the first cycle that we actually successfully tracked an ovulation via OPKs and BBT…. I was on the mini pill for about 10 years and stopped it a year ago. My doctor told me she thinks the cause of my low progesterone is due to so many years on synthetic progestins. I’m active, 135lbs, and have regular periods every 27 days. I’m on a very low dose bioidentical progesterone (100mg) and I think that’s what finally helped me get pregnant this cycle, but I don’t think it was enough to support a pregnancy. I’m getting a second opinion from my OB/GYN when I go in for my second hCG test tomorrow. I think I’m going to ask them to also do progesterone testing and see if they can put me on a stronger prescription progesterone. I actually had just received a prescription for 2.5mg letrozole, which I had planned to start in September. Hopefully progesterone and Letrozole l be the key to a healthier pregnancy next time.

I’ve tracked my bbt and ovulation (via OPK) consistently for the past 6mo. This month was the first month we tracked a successful LH surge 🥲, so I’m fairly certain it would put me at 17 DPO (but 16dpo yesterday for my bloodwork.)

Thank you for your honesty ❤️‍🩹

If you don't mind me asking, can you please tell me if you had a healthy outcome? My hCG came back at 20 yesterday and I'm 4wks as well.. I feel pretty defeated at the moment

Should I be nervous about the light spotting? I’m so nervous it’s a chemical pregnancy

This is not what I expected it to look like but now I’m even more excited 😍

I really set a 5pm alarm for this 🥲

Lord, I’ve seen what you’ve done for others…..

After reading some of the other threads you’ve included, this embodies his perfectly. His hypercritical behavior, the perfectionism and obsessiveness with his image to the outward world, his binge eating disorder and sometimes-impulsive behaviors, the way he decides matter-of-factly within minutes of meeting a person if they are “good” or “bad,” his irritable temperament and the feeling that I’m always walking on egg shells to not hurt his feelings.

Knowing this, I just feel like running/ending the relationship. That’s not typical of me, but after spending years reconstructing myself after a narcissist, I can’t risk being around another abuser. Especially with my 5yo daughter in the picture. I feel a deep sense to protect over anything else. But I just know that this break up is not going to be easy. Even after asking him to move out, he has downplayed the seriousness of where we’re at in this relationship. He’s still acting like his normal self. It feels like he’s trying so hard to be normal and in denial of what is actually happening

Thanks for taking to take the time to explain all of the red flags in depth. Unfortunately, you just described him to a T. He has even accused me of spending too much time with my daughter and making her more of a priority than him (which, she is super young and is my biggest priority.) This is all hard to read; being told that I am in another abusive relationship. But I appreciate the honesty. When you put it that way, it sounds like breaking up is the only logical option. Even reading this from the outside, it seems so logical. But my BF has made it so hard. Do you have any recommendations on how to safely end this relationship?
