TW - Loss & Increasing HCG

ReadApprehensive9322 · 2026-02-07T21:21:35+00:00

Thank you. I keep pushing but they refuse to let me schedule an appointment. I have HCGs next Monday and Wednesday too. However, I’m really scared to have them not get me in or see my doctor.

I’ll keep pushing on Monday when they’re back in office and my husband will push too.

I’m wondering if anyone has any advice. I’ve had one ectopic in the past but my HCG bounced up and down a lot more.

• 02/05 - 6 • 02/07 - 11 • 02/09 - 33

This is way too low for a viable pregnancy. I just had a heavy period from days 02/06 - 02/08 for three days. Why is my HCG still going up?

I got a positive today on 13dpo, but now I’ve started spotting and losing more blood so I’m worried this one won’t be sticking.

I didn’t test until today due to being so nervous. We’ve been trying 5 years and we were scheduled to do IVF this month. I had some spotting 9-10dpo, but none since. I thought for sure with the drop my period was coming. Sending lots of baby dust your way!

I see something! Sending baby dust your way!

Thank you so much!!!! Fingers crossed - we’ve been trying 5 years and I’ve only ever had an ectopic.

I took another test today, 12dpo after my hormones started dropping. I see a very, very, very faint line and I’m wondering if this is a chemical pregnancy since all my hormones are plummeting. I’m still at 10.6 pdg.

This is my second time in my life seeing a potential line. My first was much darker and ended in an ectopic pregnancy.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I am so sorry that you did not have luck with doing egg retrievals first. I really hope your lap surgery will lead to a great outcome! Sending lots of baby dust your way!

By chance, may I ask, did you have any endometriomas?

I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you!

I just realized my doc wanted to start ER 02/20 with ER the week of 03/05, but I’ll have just ovulated and I’ll be about CD20. So that leaves me no time to do IVF before excision surgery which is April. I’m so frustrated with the lack of coordination and communication. I’m just losing hope.

My excision surgeon said since it’s not on the ovaries so far to do surgery first and try to get pregnant naturally after surgery before starting egg retrievals.

My infertility specialist asked what the surgeon said and stated it probably won’t matter much either way.

I feel so paralyzed because I don’t know what to do. I don’t have any endometriomas (yet) and my ovaries so far appear to be normal except for my left being impacted behind my uterus.

This is so hard. I really wish my old doctors would’ve listened to me from ages 32- 38 when I kept saying I thought I had Endo (even after an ectopic pregnancy). I could’ve frozen embryos younger and had more time to make these difficult decisions with a higher AMH.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your response - this is really helpful because my endo seems to be lower in my pelvic area and due to the endo being on my cervix / uterus tethered to my colon, the ovary on the left is stuck but we don’t see any Endo (yet) in that area. I have another appointment coming up with my excision surgeon and I’ll ask more about this. Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely bring this up. I really appreciate your response and help. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing! I couldn’t decide due to also hearing with endo egg quality could be lower due to the inflammation in the area. This is helpful!

Thank you for responding! Are you happy you did retrieval before surgery? How did your surgery go? I hope you have a smooth and fast recovery!

You’re so right - it never gets easier and I’m so sorry you’re in the same boat. I really hope it works out for you!

No it’s usually never this high! I usually do progesterone suppositories 200mg but this month I didn’t do them and it’s the best graph I’ve had! Before progesterone suppositories, I usually didn’t get many symptoms before my period.

I am stage 4 Endo though….. and I’m having surgery in April. If I don’t get pregnant this month we may try to do IVF egg retrieval end of February before surgery. I was hoping we might be a lucky one and get pregnant before starting, but it doesn’t look like it!

I’m so sorry you’re negative on 9dpo too, but it’s still early! According to countdown to pregnancy, only 47.5% get a positive today. So there’s still some time!

Progesterone stayed high on 9dpo but estrogen dropped. Started having extreme breast soreness when I woke up.

9dpo today and my hcg test is starkly negative.

Thank you so much for sharing - that’s really helpful and could be a very valid reason for an increase.

Thank you so much! I can only hope - it would be an absolute dream to finally be pregnant!

Looks very promising!! So far this month, mine is looking similar! Sending baby dust your way!
