VERY low hcg

Post by kat2 »

Hi all,

Has anyone ever started out with a really low hcg# and had a viable pregnancy? My BETA was REALLY low at 11dpt (8.5) At 13dpt it went to 13.5 and at 15dpt it doubled to 32.9. I know that these #'s are way too low, yet my Dr. tells me to cross my fingers and hope. Any advice? I go for my next BETA tomorrow.

I have a friend who gets pregnant naturally. She will be pregnant for 8+ weeks and not show up on a urine test and even not show on a blood test. This will be her second child. She doesn't get any morning sickeness because her hcg is so low. Let's hope that's the case for you! :)

My hcg was low 24 and then only progressed to 26. then two weeks later it was 836. That is a bad sign if it doesn't double correctly, it is a sign of a tubal pregnancy, which is what mine was.

Make sure you feel good about what the doctor tells you and get second opinions if you don't feel right. I would treat your body like you will have a viable pregnancy, there are plenty of miracle babies out there! Good luck.
