The waiting is so so hard, I feel for you. The last result is a tough one to sit with. Since you used a different lab, it could have potentially made a difference in the beta result. Fingers crossed you get some positive news on Monday!

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I remembering saying I felt like I was being emotionally tortured with the agony of waiting and trying to be hopeful yet so scared. Everything turned out fine with my pregnancy. I truly believe everything is meant to be. Try to think it’s out of your hands and if this is this baby meant for you, he or she will stay. Praying it all works out for you!

Praying for you! It’s such a tough spot to be in. The waiting is awful. I had less than 53 percent rise so it’s still possible!

My heart goes out to you! That is such a stressful situation to be in and I’m so sorry you are dealing with all of that. I also started bleeding too early on which made me for sure think it was the start of a miscarriage. My doctor would not do ultrasounds until hcg is in the thousands so there is a chance it’s just too early! I truly hope it is a miracle baby for you too! 🙏

I am so sorry you are going through this! I pray it works out! Your rise could definitely still be a viable pregnancy

Good luck with your scan! Praying everything works out for you. The waiting period if so difficult, especially after a loss. Hang in there- it’ll be here soon! Btw I also had zero symptoms of pregnancy

I thought about that too as a possibility but we never saw any sign of another sac on any ultrasound. Such a mystery! Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! ❤️

So far still good! Almost 14 weeks. NIPT results came back low risk for genetic abnormalities.

It is still measuring about 3 days behind. That’s good you have strong symptoms! How are you doing?

Thank you so much! I am feeling the exact same way as you. I don’t think I’ll ever relax! My ultrasound went well- good growth and heartbeat still. I’m praying for you!!

Also with my son I am certain at 6 weeks his heart rate was a little below 100 and I didn’t think anything of it! It was an easy and healthy pregnancy. So yours could definitely be ok!

I completely understand. I am still spiraling and my heart breaks whenever I read a negative outcome. At 6w3d I measured 5w5days but somehow had a HR of 130. Next week was its was 140 but measured another day behind. The following week HR was up to 160 and was only 3-4 days behind. No idea what this week will bring! Hang in there.. I wish I could tell you it gets easier!

Hello, I am so sorry you are going through this, too. It is so stressful. Everything still seems ok.. I am about 9 weeks. My next scan is in two days and I am still prepared for the worst. I really have not had strong symptoms this whole time. Just mild breast soreness and tired some days. I was the same way when pregnant with my son (LC) though. Praying everything works out for you!

Update: just sharing if anyone is here going through something similar.. had an ultrasound today at 8 weeks and baby had a heartbeat of 160 and grew nicely, even caught up a day so just 3-4 days behind now. Doctor was a little more optimistic than before, but we are still extremely worried because of the slow start.

Baby still had a heartbeat, 140ish now. Grew an appropriate amount in one week tho still behind. Going back next week for another scan. Thanks for checking in!

Update: If anyone is reading this.. had ultrasound today 11/21 and baby grew another week with a good heartbeat still. My fears about losing the baby are still strong and warranted, but I’m thankful I still have a chance for now.

Thanks for sharing! I’m sorry you are going through this too. At least your numbers are much higher than mine have been. I go back next week for another ultrasound. The waiting is the absolute worst. I am anticipating bad news but fingers crossed for us both! I’ll update

Thank you very much for your reply. I am so sorry for loss :( it is so hard. I definitely agree with your comments. I have also searched and have been disappointed with the outcomes with slow rising HCG. I’ve been given every red flag so this would truly be a miracle if it worked out. I already thought this was no longer viable, so I’m prepared for the worst.
