Hope please?! Low beta

pascorrapascorra member

Hi ladies -

The nurse just called and I am confused and upset. She said my hcg is 4.7 which she said is very low and that technically I am pregnant but that I should be higher at this point. I am going back in two days for more blood work as it is their standard. However, she wanted to be "realistic" with me and that this might not develop into a healthy pregnancy.

Do you know of anyone that has gone through this and have it be a success? Could it have implanted late?

I had an FET 9 days ago.

I am confused and shocked.

    Thank you both! I am better today and just moving forward, no matter what the outcome is. My baby will come, I just know it. This will not make me lose hope.

    My last pregnancy I had an HCG of 9 and then it ended in a chemical pregnancy.  My biggest tip to you is to take away from this that you GOT PREGNANT!  (Excited voice) a LOT of woman don't even get that far.  I'm now going into my 5th week of pregnancy the month after the chemical pregnancy.  I am nervous everyday but so excited to be pregnant this time. Take a deep breath and know that it will happen.
