Heaving bleeding/low hcg?

I am totally freaking out!! I am 12 days post FET. Today I started heavy bleeding with clots. I went for my first beta test. My number was 13. It is low. They increased my progesterone to twice a day. I had been doing Crinone 8%. I will change to injections tomorrow morning. Will it be too late? Has anyone had this issue and went onto having a successful pregnancy? What can I do?

Hi!
Never give up hope!  But I would say, in your case, to prepare for the worst.  The beta number is low, but you are early.  The bleeding is not a good sign, but may subside if you increase your progesterone.  There is nothing much more to do other than rest and take it easy.  If the beta numbers start to increase, that will stabilize the bleeding too.
If the number doesn't increase, then you have a chemical pregnancy.
Keep your fingers crossed!
