Positive test but low Hcg

Post by tintintti »

Hello,

I tested yesterday positively of my second IVF. However, I got today my Hcg test results and turns out that my Hcg was 84 and at this stage you should have at least 120. So there is a risk of chemical pregnancy where embryo hasn't attached properly. Has anyone had still successful pregnancy even though initial low Hcg?

My clinic says that I should consider myself pregnant, but obviously miscarriage is a potential risk. My Hcg levels will be now monitored and hopefully it improves.

I have had 2 miscarriages before and one confirmed chemical pregnancy, possible more. I've got blood clotting issues which are likely to be cause for miscarriages.

Hello,

Congratulations. There's a thread on the general board, it's on the second page and it's called "let's compare betas". There are some really low numbers on there, lower than yours and as you can see from their tickers their pregnancies are going strong. Take a look.

Best of luck

Jo
