Do I stand a chance?

Post by littlebear »

Hi all

yes, I have seen successful pregnancies from numbers that low. Mine was low too, I think 44 at 13dp3dt was my first. As long as those numbers rise, you are good for now! I will pray for you!

I have seen some make it to live birth after starting lower than that. Your chances would be better if your values were higher, but yes, you certainly have a chance.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the replies

The RE is not happy with the numbers. and yes, the last # was 15dp5dt (not 13). How did you know that?

Sorry to hear that. Those low hCG pregnancies are often lost, but not always.
