Help! Low HcG and progesterone

clover30clover30 member
in Success after IF
I haven't been on here in so long (took a mental health break from it all). Just had my 5th IUI (1st time w/injectables). Went for bloodwork on Wednesday and it's positive! However, my HcG level was 28, which is low. Went back on Friday and HcG went up to 84! BUT my progesterone dropped to 14 (was 16). Now it's a waiting game until Monday. Any success stories for people who've had these low numbers? I'm terrified it won't work out...

    It is possible.  The fact that your hCG tripled makes it more possible.  I have a list of folks from another board whose hCG was 14-25 on 14dpo (equivalent) and bore healthy living children.  That said, my one low hCG that increased turned out badly for me.  For all BFPs I am excited and "cautiously optimistic".  Congrats on your BFP.  FX it sticks (in the right place)!

    How soon after the iui was the hcg test done? That may be why it's seems so low? As for the progesterone, did the doctor prescribe a supplement? I believe my doctor told me you only need to be at an eight to sustain pregnancy. I hope everything works out for you!! I also did five iui's and I know it can be incredibly frustrating! Hang in there :)

    Well I received good news at my 3rd bloodwork appointment... My levels almost quintupled! I go in for my first ultrasound tomorrow... I'm so excited but still feeling cautious!
