HELP low slow rising hcg low prgesterone

am hoping to find some hope here or similar stories...

A little history in 2010 I had sort of the same issue. It was our second year of fertility treatments since finding out I have PCOS. We finally concieved our first pregnancy through shots and IUI. my numbers did double then almost doubled then barely went up. they were below 300 though. I had an u/s and they saw (what I know now to be a fibroid) but told me they thought it was a molar pregnancy and had me scared enough to do a DnC even though before going into surgery I asked about my hcg and it had doubled again. 6 months after the loss I went back to RE to pursue IVF and they showed the same "mass" (fibroid) on an u/s. Needless to say i felt bullied into terminating a possible healthy pregnancy.

Then I got pregnant on progesterone supps through IVF lost a twin and had premature rupture and labor at 30 wk held out on hospital bed rest til 32 wk and had my beautiful son Jack 2 months preemie.

I have had two random periods in his 8 months of life. I cant tell you when my lmp was. on July 19 and 20 woke up dizzy ( I felt this way when implanting with my son) so I POAS and faintest of positives came up... got + sat and sun and Monday got HCG drawn 83, 48 hr later 103, 48 later 114 (prog 3.0 so I started prometrium 200mg), and now 72 later 119 and prog 8.5. The midwives are saying they see it going more towards a mc or eptopic and to watch for signs of either... I feel though like this is my miracle natural pregnancy baby and I don't think in general my body produces high doubling HCG... Trying to hold on to hope yet watching for signs and being realistic too...

Does anyone have a similar story?? Outcome?

Unfortunately my experience with slow rising/non-doubling betas did not have a positive outcome and wound of being the result of an ectopic pregnancy. I second what your Dr. said and if you start having any severe pain, dizziness, or anything you find out of the ordinary please call them. I truly hope that you have a different and much more positive outcome! Keeping everything crossed for you and sending tons of positive T's & P's your way.

Thank you for sharing and thank you for the t&p I need all i can get.

Can I ask what your betas were with your EP and how u knew it was eptopic?

I don't remember the exact numbers. My first ectopic was treated with surgery because it went undetected but my 2nd the betas were abnormal after the 3rd draw and were high enough where we should have seen atleast a sac but my uterus was empty. My RE did betas a few more times and one more u/s but the results were still the same so they gave me two shots of Methotrexate to treat. I would imagine that if your betas continue to rise but not double your Dr. will do an u/s to see whats going on. GL hun!
