HCG not doubling.... starting to lose hope ?

I have seen several women in this forum who’s HCG didn’t go the textbook route of doubling and went on to have healthy pregnancies. It’s only a guideline and not a rule.

The one thing you have control over in this process is you. My last clinic believed heavily in the power of positive thinking. By focusing on just that, of all 7x of my fertility treatments, the last was the least stressful and has been the most successful procedure yet. Sure, there are other factors that likely also contributed to my success, but I strongly believe that my positive attitude had a part to play in that success as well.

My suggestion is to do the same... You are pregnant in this moment, focus on that blessing. If, God forbid, you miscarry, deal with that when it becomes your reality, not one moment before. It’ll pop into your mind, but you can stop that kind of stinking thinking.

Praying everything keeps going well with your pregnancy. ?

Mine didn’t double and I’m 21 weeks pregnant now. Keep faith!

My didn t double. Had bleeding and spotting since first beta. Doctor even told me my pregnancy wasn't viable and recommended a d&c. Had an ultrasound every week since 5 weeks and for his surprise baby keep growing. Thank God I have a healthy 3 year. Don't lose hope. Best of luck. Will pray your baby to keep growing.

Thanks ladies for the kind words of encouragement. I’m going to try and enjoy the holiday and make sure my daughter has an amazing Christmas. And we’ll just pray that everything turns out fine on Tuesday ??

Please pray for me... I have my ultrasound and beta in the morning and hopefully we will be able to see out little nugget. I’ll be 5w4d and I really hope my beta has doubled this time. I’ve been having all kinds of pregnancy symptoms and I’m really just praying we don’t have another miscarriage. ?????

Sending you tons of prayers!

Thinking of you and hoping your appt goes well!

Praying!!

Goodluck hun keep us updated

Good luck sweetie ❤️ sending positive thoughts your way.

Update: my appt went ok. We saw a small gestational sac and a yolk sac. Baby is measuring about 3-4 days behind. Unfortunately my doctor wasn’t in the office this morning but the nurse said this is totally fine as long as my hcg numbers go up appropriately. So basically it’s not bad news but we’re not of the danger zone yet. We’ll just have to see how my hcg looks this afternoon. I go back Thursday for repeat labs and ultrasound.

Praying everything goes great on Thursday!

Update #2: hcg was up to 2811! Which is an awesome jump!! I’m so excited!! I feel like we might actually get our rainbow ??

Great news!!! Keep us posted :)

That is great! So happy to see this update.

Great!

Whoo hoo!!! Just keep up the positive thinking...

?

Thanks guys! I’m really starting to feel hopeful. I just keep telling myself there’s a baby in there, and not letting negativity win! Which is huge for me because I have severe anxiety!

That’s awesome!!! I’m telling you, from my experience, thinking that way will do wonders for your stress and anxiety levels. It sure has for me. After all my losses I was super negative, always preparing for the worst. This is the first pregnancy where I’ve done exactly as I said in my earlier comment and focused on the reality as well as the positives. By far, this has been the most laid back I’ve been and I’ve reached the furthest I’ve ever gone in any pregnancy thus far. I’m taking it day by day, and as I hit key milestones it gets easier and easier to dream about what is to come.

You got this momma! ?

This is super wonderful and I agree about keeping positive. Sounds like you have a little rainbow in there ???

Brilliant news looking forward to seeing some more good news soon xx
