success stories on slow rising hcg!? please read..

[annaaabanana]

HEY YALL! well I been posting my story on here and I have been very confident about this untill last night I just got emotional and scared that it is a mmc. Even tho my tummy is still cramping, feeling the growing pains, gas pains, and still have all my symptoms, and still have constant migraines.. oh and constant milky discharge.. all the time. and constipation but yesterday and today i have been going good.. lol
Okay two weeks ago this coming up monday was 412. thursday- 799. this past monday- 1253 and wedsday - 1400 something..
I had an emergency ultrasound thursday to make sure I do not have an ectopic pregnancy.. well thank god, it was not an ectopic pregnancy. We saw the gest sac and the yolk sac.. I was (according to my first day of last period) 5 w and 5 days when they did the ultrasound. My doctor told me that the sac measured over 5 weeks... So that is good. but the only problem is my levels are still slowly rising, just not rising as fast as other women do... my doctor said it COULD be a mmc, but also that it could just be that my hcg is slower than others, he said that most women do not have they're blood monitored.. and it just worrys us a little more. but that this could be a mmc but he said he really doesnt know yet untill wedsdat. I have an ultrasound for wedsday, to see if my sac is still growing, and also he said we should be able to hear a heartbeat and see a fetal pole. I've been so exited just because I guess I have been very positive and confident.. but last night I just broke down. I don't think I could handle it if my baby has stopped growing..

I think it is very good that we got to see the gest sac AND the yolk sac.. right???? i'm just worrying.. even tho deep down i just know that everything is okay. but still have that thought like what if it is a mmc.. i'm just scared. PLEASE EVERYONE PRAY FOR US!! everyone

So sorry you're feeling stressed. I don't know that much about slow rising hCG, but I have read that it happens to some women. Hope all is well at your scan on Wednesday. That's great that you've been feeling positive about everything! Maybe some women will post about their hCG experiences.

Hi Anna: just wanted to tell you my story so far cause I'm kind of in that limbo stage too! My first hcg was only 50, then 2 days later 124, then about a week it was only at 787 (should have been closer to 980 if it was doubling) then a week later only 3400. At my first ultrasound they didn't see a yolk sac... I was a little over 6 weeks. Told only 10% chance the pregnancy would continue. Went this last week and saw a heartbeat!! Still nervous cause the HB was slower but honestly there is hope!! Some women's hcg takes the 72 hours to double. Hang in there, I'm trying to too!!

Glad I found this thread - well I had a blood test at 5 weeks and it was only 95 so I was asked to do another one today at 6 weeks and I'm awaiting the results which should be ready tomorrow or Tuesday. The doctor said he isn't worried but I'm really worried a hcg of 95 at 5 weeks sounds really wrong - the only other reason for the low hcg is that the sperm reached the egg late. Any suggestions ladies?

I'd type the story for you, but it's late and I'm tired! LOL but my best friend had slow rising HCG in the beginning of her current pregnancy. We were sure she would miscarry. (She's 21 weeks now with a very healthy active baby boy)
Here's her story

I don't have experience with this personally, but the fact that your hcg is still rising, and not dropping, does bode well at this time, at least. And thank GOD it's not ectopic, eh? To me, that's one of the scariest scenarios of early pregnancy.

I can't really say which way I think this is going to go for you, Anna. I certainly hope that this baby is just a slow starter, but I just really would hate to give you false hope if something is not right. How far along are you supposed to be, honey? In any case, I wish you luck, and I'm sure you'll find out what is happening soon enough. You're not bleeding, which is also a really good sign.

Best of luck!

thank you I know i know! I am kinda just worrying over nothing I think.. yes i am so so so happy that it isnt an ectopic!! and I am 6 w 1 day today! thursday at the ultrasound, we saw the gest sac and yolk sac!!! which the day before my hcg was only 1400 something so thought it was awesome we got to see the yolk sac when some women dont see it with super high hormone that early.. the day of my ultrasound i was 5 w 5 days. and the doc said "youre sac is measuring over 5 weeks" so i'm just thinking positive!! im getting more symptoms.. and also still have all the same feelings i have and stuff lol

 

[wookie130]

Best of luck. Yeah, at 6+1, you're still super early...it's not surprising at all that a fetal pole hasn't been spotted yet on a scan. Hopefully your next scan will show a flickering heartbeat, and a baby measuring on time!
