Pregnant after a Loss

Low rising hgc.. is there still hope?

So I'm pregnant again after having three miscarriages, but my hgc levels are not doubling like they should. They are increasing, just not as much as doctors feel they should. I still have breast tenderness, no cramps, or spotting. Only concern is low levels. Did any of you experience low rising levels and everything still worked out? Thanks for any input

Re: Low rising hgc.. is there still hope?

  • I had betas done at 5w5d and again at 6w0d.  The first draw was 11,000 and the second was 13,000 (give or take a few hundred).  They told me over the phone that I was getting ready to miscarry and to come in for an ultrasound to check for a blighted ovum.  I went for the u/s on 6w4d and they were able to find a baby and a hb.  So far so good (knock on wood).  I'm not sure how far along you are but I have heard that the farther along you are and the higher your numbers are, the slower they tend to double.  Good luck, I hope everything turns out ok :)

  • I've seen them go both ways.  If you are rising, there is definitely still a chance for you.  T&Ps your one of the lucky ones!

  • I'm not exactly sure how far along I am because I miscarried in Aug, and didn't have another cycle before I found out I  was pregnant. DH and I were not even trying, so it's baffling I'm even pregnant, but still great news. My levels are super low thought, 124 to 190 to 204. Increasing, but still low. Trying to hang on to hope.

  • I wish you the very best of luck!! If I'm not mistaken, 15 of normal pregnancy's don't have the classic doubling of beta's.
