newly pregnant.... question about hcg hormone

[Kgrzyb02]

After 8 yrs of trying and a diagnosis of PCOS and diminished ovarian reserve I finally got pregnant. Two positive urine tests and two positive blood tests confirmed. Hcg was 20 on Saturday  and only 32 on Monday. Saturday started bleeding but hcg levels are increasing. I have one more blood test tomorrow to see if the numbers are increasing like they should. Has anyone had low numbers and had a normal pregnancy??? The first positive urine test was literally an hour before the blood test was done also.

Any info will help. Hoping for a miracle finally.

I have same condition after trying fertility treatments gave up and five years later got pregnant my miracle baby. I did develop the diabetes and went into early labor she is 3 healthy to my surprise I got pregnant again last year had miscarriage then again in Feb my doctor checked progesterone which was low he gave me meds to help prevent another miscarriage and I will have to get injections as will ever week starting week sixteen to help prevent another early labor. I am eleven weeks now developed high blood pressure and have thyroid problems on meds for that too and probably have diabetes again long story but my point is have faith it will work out god is good and my doctor still don't understand how I ever got pregnant but they don't realize why they are doctors there not god and sometimes he has a greater plan for us

I have PCOS and my Dr put me on Metformin. Avoiding sugar and a lot of exercise and I got pregnant right away. Just to mention, my Dr recommends staying on Metformin until the 12th week to reduce chances of miscarriage and gestational diabetes. I'm going into week 9 so far so good.

I have a friend who, like you,  suffers from picos. She bled for the first 4 weeks. But the baby is thriving.  She goes to the doctor about one a week.

Im still trying to wrap my head around it. All my dr's said IVF was the only way it could happen. I didnt have that kind of money so we tried iui with Clomid with one dr, then when that didn't work and that Dr refused to try less expensive approaches we moved to a new Dr. He was willing to try Femara and ovidrel since I don't ovulate on my own. First cycle resulted in two cysts which I had surgery to remove at the end of January. While in surgery, the dr found stage one endometriosis which he removed. Aftrr healing,  we jumped into round two of Femara 150 mg, ovidrel and timed intercourse plus preseed to help out and it worked!!
