Question about HCG for Dr

September 21, 2008

Dr. I got a faint positive HPT at 9-10dpo. I went in for my beta #'s that day and they came back at 4 :( (that was Wednesday). I went back in on Saturday to get my #'s and they were 29. Is my pregnancy doomed? I just had a m/c in July. I will be talking to my Dr. tomorrow, but have you ever seen a pregnancy survive and be healthy with those low numbers??

Looking good, and so long as they increase appropriately, it's a good pregnancy and yes these can still become great pregnancies..

Remember, at 10dpo is the earliest a blood test can detect hCG, hence the low number

HI Holly,

Mine were 95 at 15dpo. So if you divide that in half...at 13dpo I would have been around 45-50 and at 11dpo I would have been around 2025. So, like Dr. Q said as long as your #'s are doubling thinks look good. I now have a healthy 3 month old! Good luck and congrats! Sticky glue!

Try not to stress. They can help you with low progesterone and so long as your HCG is going up appropriately you will be fine. Take care of you and the baby hun. Let us know what the doctor says. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
