Do I have any hope ?

Post by tuna72 »

I am now 14dp3dt with 2 very good embies. I have 3 hpt Positive sine 9dpt , but on 11dpt I start to bleeding. It was as heavy as a normal period, with a lot of cramp. My beta on Tue - 12dpt - was hcg 54.6, Progesteron was 2 !!!! i search around and I knew that I don't have any hope for this cycle.

The bleeding stop last night - total 3 days - along with crampt. I came for blood work today and the result is hcg 101, progesterone 14. it's a lot of improvement but the hcg is not double like we expect. I will come for another blood work on next Mon. Anyone have any idea that my embies can survive ? I'm scared that I have ectopic pregnancy !!! :(

Good luck everyone

tuna - i've never had a BFP so i dont know too much but from what i've read, as long as your numbers keep rising there is definitely hope!!! yes, they are meant to be doubling but yours are more or less doubling and your embie(s) may have implanted late, hence why your numbers aren't quite doubling. like i said, i'm no expert and i think thats what people generally say so please dont give up hope. obviously if anyone has more info then that's great. just thought i would reply from what i know as nobody else who knows more has replied.

dont give up hope honey and let us know what happens.

I'm searching around about the hcg level. They say that it's double every 48-72hrs so my number is still in the ranch. the problem is I was bleeding a lots in the last 3 day. My progesterone is now almost normal but it's still below and 2 days ago it's in dangerous ranch. Maybe that's why I was bleeding.

We - my husband and I - are better now, we prepared for the bad news but not for anything worse than that - ectopic pregnancy.

Thank you for your reply. I will keep post when I have a new result

I think It's too early to do US, I'm only 4 and 1/2 weeks now. Hope everything will be fine on next Mon

the bleeding was stopped, I dont' have any pain/cramp now

Tuna.. my doctor said that the number doesn't have to double.. instead every two days they like to see it increase by 1.6.. Which means anything above 87 is great!! :) I say congrats.. and I think the reason for the bleeding is the low progesterone.. I could be wrong.. but your number is rising.. are you on progesterone in oil or vaginal suppositories.. Your number is going up.. so that's a great sign.. i'm sure it will continue to go up and will help you sustain a viable pregnancy!!

I say congrats momma!! :)
