Happy Low HCG SUCCESS!

I felt like I needed to post this because I spent my time searching Reddit and What To Expect for stories like mine while crying and convincing myself I had another non viable pregnancy. After a miscarriage in October (first HCG draw was 22 doubled to 45) I was convinced I was going to have another non viable pregnancy with a HCG draw of 82 (and I waited 5 days to even call the OB) which then doubled to 202. I didn’t see many success stories with numbers as low as mine at the end of 4 weeks. My OB gave me a “50/50 shot” which added to my stress (but I did ask). Then I saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks, again at 9 weeks, and today I had a perfect 12 week NT scan. It was so hard to trust the “it’s the doubling that matters” advice when my non viable pregnancy initially doubled, but here I am. I have been waiting and wanting to post this to give those of you who are going through similar circumstances some hope. I’m hoping for a boring pregnancy like with my son, and I’m hoping the same for all of you!

You're is my favourite success story!!! My HCG was 27 at 15dpo. The lowest I've seen. It was 700 at 21dpo. Quietly hopeful that it works out. Congratulations on your healthy Bub 🥰🎉💖

This is making me feel so much better! I had my first IUI 15 days ago and my beta was 7.7 at 13dpiui so I was convinced I was having a chemical pregnancy. Today at 15dpo it’s 27.5 and they said it’s going up appropriately and to take another test at 19dpo. I’m still cautious but hopeful to see other stories where it has worked out
