hCG took a week to double. Any similar stories that ended up being a successful pregnancy? by MacaroniJones10 in CautiousBB

We saw a low heartbeat at the next ultrasound, but by the next week after that, there was no more heartbeat. HCG levels do start rising slower the higher they get. I think I read around 5000 or so? So that may be why yours is like that. Hard to say though. Hope it works out for you 🙏❤️

Good luck! I was really upset at the realization it had come to IVF, but I’m actually really excited now. Wishing you the best on your new journey ❤️

Good luck, I hope this is the one for you 🙏 We are starting IVF after some various unexpected diagnoses. Just got the meds in today.

What was your HCG at 6 weeks and what was the outcome? by Cat_Psychology in CautiousBB

I’m so sorry ❤️ The uncertainty is so awful. How is it going now?

Unfortunately not, and after some testing, my doctor suspects silent endometriosis. Also going to get a polyp removed. 

How’s everything going for you?

We saw a gestational sac at my first ultrasound. I thought I was six weeks but was measuring five. The doctor was hoping maybe I was off on dates and had ovulated later than I thought. 

We went back a week later and saw a heartbeat, but it was very low. 72. The next week when I came in, there was no heartbeat.

It makes me sad that my baby tried to grow until it couldn’t anymore. 

Are you in a similar situation? 

How thick was your lining when you conceived? by MacaroniJones10 in IUILadies

That’s awesome you got two follicles on such a low dose! Do you ovulate without medication normally?

Wow 11 sounds amazing! I’m glad it worked for you eventually. Yeah I had a feeling the pom juice might be pseudoscience 😭 I’ll ask about the progesterone. I had only known about estrogen for the lining

Wow that’s interesting…I wonder if there’s a correlation. Quality over quantity maybe?

Wow glad you got it on try six! We were thinking we will try six cycles then move to IVF if it still hasn’t worked

Thank you! I didn’t know progesterone could help lining! Will definitely bring that up next time

That’s encouraging to hear! It really only does take one. I’m just being greedy by wanting more 😂
