I had BFP on home test, but levels were low on blood test. I have had what they call a chemical pregnancy before, but hcg was around 3 not positive. Now level is 13 and progesterone is low as well. RE is having me take progesterone, but he says it's probably just a chemical preg, and progesterone is low because my period is coming. I am now day 30 of cycle. Has anyone else ever had a low hcg in the beginning and had a good outcome? I am praying for a MIRACLE and want to prove everyone wrong!! Doc says if hcg is 100 by Mon, then it would be a keeper.
Hey Denise,
It's my understanding that fertilization does take place, implants long enough to register hcg on a home pregnancy test, then poof, it's gone. In other words, to my understanding it is just a very early miscarrage. Most women don't even know they were preg.
Thanks Sarah. I am still praying for a miracle, but aren't we all. Thank for getting me to see the positive side of this. I after this cycle starts, he is putting me on bcp, and then Lupron to give the endo on my bowel a break. I am just running out of steam.
Congrats to you! I can't even imagine how happy you are. Good luck, I am sure I will be seeing how your are progressing on the site!
UPDATE..... Just want to thank everyone for their prayers and replies. I went to RE Doc on Saturday, and my levels dropped to 9. He said I would start my AF soon. I started today....early pregnancy actually 5 weeks, is leaving my body as I type this.
My husband just got back from Asia Saturday night, he is suffering from jet lag, worried about money( I am out of a job) and has no clue what I am going through. He hasn't even said sorry. Maybe I am just not supposed to have a baby with him. I feel so alone. Nobody seems to understand that just because it is an early miscarrage I still have feelings!!! Even my mother-in-law, tonight all she wanted to do is talk about how her son is overwhelmed about money, since I lost my job. She is also concerned if we need to have a child, as I am as well, but now is not the freaking time to discuss this. I reminded her that I was dealing with a miscarriage and she said, "oh, I am sorry."She forgot just like her son. I got let go from my job because of my health issues....and we chose to wait and try to nurture this preg, then I would find a job. Now it ALL my fault...no job, no money, no baby!!!
Everyone seems to have the attitude that it is no big deal. I do have one friend who understands, but I hate to be down about things all of the time with her. It is ok. I will manage. Thanks for the thoughts though. The funny thing is, is that my sister went through fertility tx and it took her 5 years to get preg. She is so defensive and guarded, she doesn't want to see me hurting anymore, so she just ignores it too. Funny how life turns out huh?
Sarah,
That is what I needed to hear. People are insensitive and this was an embryo. How would people feel if they had done IVF and seen that embryo alive, and then it didn't implant? The only difference is, we couldn't see it. It is what it is, I just have lots of mixed emotions right now, but thanks for the support. I guess I should close down this discussion? What do you think? Looks like I need to move on over to the grieving and loss group.
