So monday (13 dpo) my hcg was 10.2. Then wednesday (15dpo) I was 17. A 70% increase. The RE told me it was a chemical pregnancy and i should stop taking my meds, but they left it up to me and said I could retest friday. So after much debate with DH I decided to retest for my own peace of mind. Well, the level is still low at 41 but thats a 141% increase and the RE says stay on the meds, maybe something is happening. So I'm not out of the woods and wont have a definitive answer until the ultrasound but I'm still in the game. Next beta on tuesday.

This is an emotional rollercoaster. Any thoughts?

" Ok, my hcg level was 210 today so it is still doubling at around 40hrs. No more beta's. Just another 2ww for my ultrasound. I am scheduled for 11/24. I will be 7 weeks that day so we should see a heartbeat. Keeping my fingers crossed. "

" A bit worried today. I'm 5w 5d today and I started spotting this morning. It's brown and it is not enough to stain my underwear. I had some very very mild cramping this morning. I'm gonna call the RE tomorrow to see what they think but right now I'm a nervous wreck!! "

" Don't give up hope. I had two days of bleeding and thought I had a m/c. I went in on Thurs and got to see the sac with a pole measuring 5w 2d. My prayers are with you. "

" Well, I'm not spotting anymore. The RE said to just take it easy and call if it happens again. I often wonder if they are being to lax about the whole thing. I know my RE doesn't think that this pregnancy is going to be successful but we have decided to see it through to the US. I believe that I am just one of those women that have low HCG. GRRR!! I'm almost more frustrated than I was yesterday. "
