low HCG levels

[elizabeth250]

I had my transfer on the 8th and on the 15th my hcg was 17, today it is only 39.  I'm kinda of worried cuz my last m/c went this same way with low hcg levels in the beginning.  Someone please give me some good news or success stories with low hcg and now they have a beautiful baby.. Thanks

I had weird hcg levels too!  7dpt it was 2.8. 10dpt it was 2.9.  I had given up.  But 12 dpt it was 5.1.  I still thought it was a non-viable pregnancy.  20dpt it was 273.  That was on Feb. 14th.  Now I wait and go in for an ultrasound on the 25th. My RE said the embryo took a three day break or one of them vanished during that time.  I've not had any bleeding, just pg symptoms.  I'm praying for two healthy babies on the 25th.  I'm almost 6wks pg.

Hey, your way sounds better, thanks.  What is SSBD mean?

[miky72]

I had a day 3 transfer but even with a 5 days they should have tested on day 12 and not 10..

Did you have a 5 day or 3 day transfer.  If they do test early, than thanks for the info.  My sister had hers done in Tx, and I'm in Vegas and they tested after 10 days.  I had a 5 day transfer.

[miky72]

Elizabeth,
it looks like they testes you HCG very early!
My RE will test only 14 days after transfer and then they want numbers in the 50's.
I think you are in a good place and your numbers look good.
Keep us posted!

I need your address to mail you the book, you just sent me your e-mail address.

[ashort]

Thank you.  I sent you my email in your, "my Medhelp" folder thingie..haha.  I'm not sure if it would show up on here!  Good luck Wednesday!

[elizabeth250]

email me your address and I'll send you the book: ***@****.  

[ashort]

Sure I will definately keep in touch with you.   I live in NY so I should get my results around 3pm EST.  I will be on here at night though.  I need a book like that LOL...feeling very discouraged.  DH is so positive though which is good.  

I have a wedding I have to go to in Vegas in May.  I'm so nervous about flying usually I take a valium but I guess that's out with a BFP!  I'll be clenching my chair for 5 hours...LOL...

[elizabeth250]

Thanks for the info, I needed to hear some good stories like that!

[elizabeth250]

Let's keep intouch, and talk again on Wed.  I'll get my results around 3pm pacific time.  I'm in Vegas.  What time is your appt? or what time do you get your results?  The Secret is all about positive thinking.  It's a good book, but very repetitive.  To sum it up If you believe and say positive affirmations than your thought will come true.  Like Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for 10 million dollars before he started acting, and he said he was going to be paid that some day for his work.  And , it came to pass.....  That is what the book is all about.

Have a friend who had an 8 hcg level on day 10 after transfer and she has a 2 yr old little girl. If they are going up and doubling that is what you need. It is so hard to not concentrate on the number...and it gets us in such a state of mind! Keep positive!
And much, much good luck!

[ashort]

Yes, you sound very positive!  I haven't read the book Secret.  Is it good?  I know what you mean though...it is hard...I also have an appointment on Wednesday...sending you more positive thoughts and prayers!

[elizabeth250]

They transfered 2.  I am going to stay positive.  For about 15mins I spoke with God and told him I can't go threw this again, but I snapped out of it and started telling my emby to stay strong, to grow, and i can't wait to meet them.  Have you read the book the Secret?  I'm telling myself my HCG levels on Wed are going to be 78.  Positive thinking.  Bring the future to the present like it really happened.  Thanks for the prayers.  I told my husband God would not have put this dream in my heart to shoot it down.  It will happen.  Do I sound convincing?

[ashort]

I know how you feel.  I had a m/c in June and just found out I'm preg.  It's so hard not to be negative.  It always seems like you're waiting for bad news.   However, I'm not a doctor but I would think 10days past transfer is the same as 10DPO.  If that is the case 39 sounds fine.  LIke I said my RE isn't concerned and I was 16DPO with 76.  How many did they transfer?  I'll keep you in my prayers!  

[elizabeth250]

My doctor said he would have liked to see them at 50.  My next test is wed. and he want them to be in the high 60's.  My transfer was 10 days ago, I don't know what that would be compared to dpo.  I feel like I'm going through the samething as I did last m/c. Well, I can't give up yet... Only time will tell. Grow eggs, grow!  Trying to cheer it on.  Implant eggs, sticky thoughts..

[ashort]

I don't know much about transfers but would you be considered 7 Days past transfer and 9 days past transfer.  Would that be the same as saying 7DPO and 9DPO if so it sounds good to me...that would be really early.  My HCG was 76 16DPO.  All they need ot do is double every 48-72 hours...CONGRATS!!

[Heather5]

The important thing is that the levels double every 2-3 days...and yours did :-)

Congratulations!
