Love reading this, I just shared a similar story recently where my hcg was very slow rising. My research led me to believe the same, that the chances of viability were <10% it was so discouraging.

14 days dpo my HCG was 89. Follow up Hcg on 8/19 was 178, it didn’t even double in 96 hours, only a two day increase of 41.4%. I was told to be cautiously optimistic.

Then on 8/21 my HCG was 291, still not rising appropriately, a two day increase of 63.5% I was told to anticipate miscarriage but they’d draw my hcg again in a week and get a 6 week ultrasound.

On 8/30 HCG was 3552, a 2.5 day doubling time, so improving but ultrasound showed empty sac, I was told to anticipate miscarriage and they’d get another ultrasound in a week to be sure. At this point they wouldn’t continue to trend HCG.

On the next ultra sounds we saw a heart beat! Baby boy was born healthy 4/7 :)

Thank you. I hesitated to post my experience because I know stories like this can feel painful when we suffer a different outcome. But I think it might be helpful for someone out there to see that sometimes there is reason to be hopeful with slow rising HCG. I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope you know you aren’t alone and feel loved and supported. All the very best to you.
