slow rising,low level hcg count

[mamatoady]

hi ladies,
well, i had an hcg count last monday and wednesday and they were 62 and 84 respectively. About a 2.82% rise. Possibly within normal range depending on when I ovulated and when I implanted, but the rise isn't very good. I have another test on Monday and will get the results on Tuesday. My heart tells me everything is absolutely fine, but everything I am reading on the internet warns me that I'll probably miscarry. I am not spotting and I am not cramping. I do have some abdominal discomfort and either I'm in denial or it's just growing,stretching etc.

Now I'm starting to wish we hadn't told our friends and some of our family. I guess I'm not totally stressing because I believe everything is fine, but those numbers are SOOOOO not good. Any advice? I know my levels were slow rising with my dd too, at 7w3d, I was 55,061 and 62,946 respectively. That is about a 7% rise.

I don't know,I guess if anyone out there feels like praying for a stranger :crying

Hugs, mama! I know everyone here can appreciate the stress you are under. I am in constant fear that I will have to "untell" everyone. But have hope that the numbers are still in the range of normal.

Positive thoughts coming you way!

Sarah, :Hug How frustrating. I can kind of relate as I had some bleeding earlier this week. Not knowing is so hard, and then stressing just makes it worse. You are in my thoughts and prayers. And sending you lots of :sticky :dust

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

How are you coping with the waiting-and-not-knowing?

I've said some prayers and have convinced myself that everything will be ok. Depending on what the test results come out to be, I may or may not have more testing. Unless there's a chance of tubal/ectopic I will stop testing and just let my body be. I'm game for one more blood test on monday though.
