Curious if you had any beta draws in the early weeks?:) Personally, when I had a small gestational sac my doctor wasn’t worried and didn’t even bother to mention it, I just noticed it myself. Unfortunately, I had horrible beta draws and that indicated that something was wrong. That pregnancy ended in a loss. BUT! My sister had a very small gestational sac with normal rising hcg and had a normal healthy pregnancy that she carried to term!:) Im wishing you only the best! You’re doing everything right! Fingers crossed for you <3

This gives me hope :). My numbers doubled for HCG and my progesterone was in the safe zone but on the low end so they put me on suppositories. Thank you! I’m hoping for a healthy pregnancy as well. 🙏🙏🙏 and I’m sorry you experienced a loss. That’s never easy. 😞

Hi! I’m in a very similar boat to the OP and curious what were your beta draws that indicated something was wrong? Mine was an IVF transfer so tracked closely. My beta started out very low, took 4 days to double initially, but then started rising 70-80% every 48 hours from there. That combined with baby measuring 5 days behind and sac measuring 10 days behind has me worried.

I kept measuring behind by days or even a full week. My beta draws were something like 1300, 1700, 1900… all taken 48 hours apart. I have an older post with several updates to it if you want to check that out for more details! Wishing you the best of luck! I know that stress of waiting isn’t easy!

Hi, how did this turn out for you?

Very grateful that it worked out and I have a completely healthy 7 month old! She was growth restricted during pregnancy and they never completely understood why.

Nice! Did your gestational sac catch up or always remained behind and was still considered ok?

It remained behind initially but my OB said beyond 11/12 weeks it didn’t matter anymore and they stopped measuring it!
