After 2 back to back losses i’m pregnant again and my betas are looking wonderful!

10 dpo- 25

12 dpo- 116

14 dpo- 404 🥳

I’m so pleased with these numbers and although I know hcg isn’t a reliable indicator of twins/multiples im a little curious 😅

Hello, I’ve had back to back losses from May to now and I’m pregnant again at a mere 12dpo and my ob is watching me closely due to my history.

Anyways I had my first beta done 2 days ago at 10dpo and it came back at 25

Fast forward to today I had my second beta done at 12dpo and it came back at 116 🥳

I’m new to the whole TTC world and beta draws etc, but that’s a good rise I believe. Is that normal for 12dpo?

Trying to stay optimistic, stick baby stick ❤️❤️

I’m pregnant again (yay!) Very early on and i’m wondering if this is normal?

My beta came back at 25 today - going back in 48 hours

I’m estimated to be 9/10 dpo and not sure what “normal” is

My LH peak was at late at night on July 30th (used inito) and it’s August 10th

So a little update, I had more labs done

on June 2nd and my hcg was a 38 (if you look back it slowly climbed and peaked at this number)

on June 4th (today) it finally went down to a 26!

On top of all that my pregnancy symptoms have disappeared, my bleeding has fully stopped for a few days and my progesterone was only 0.3 on today’s blood draw indicating my body is not trying to support an ongoing pregnancy.

I need repeat blood work next week and follow ups until levels reach zero but i’m feeling very relived and just enjoying this time of bliss.

Here’s my timeline (spoiler: i didn’t even know i was pregnant)

I started having a normal “menstrual” period on May 25th all the way until May 31st it went like a normal period - started heavy gradually turned into lighter bleeding to spotting then stopped. In this week I went to urgent care because I’ve been incredibly nauseous and wanted to see if there was something actually wrong with me, that was on May 28th

The following day I received my blood results and was completely dumbfounded by seeing a 12 beta hcg

So here’s my official timeline after seeing an ob and getting serial beta hcgs

May 28th - 12

May 29th - 22 (done at er visit where they determined PUL not sure if viability but did an ultrasound and said my uterus was measuring only 4mm)

May 31st- 28

June 2nd - 38 (first draw done at an actual OBGYN lab, all prior results were from urgent cares/er they said lab differences could be a huge thing in my case)

Symptom wise the food aversions and nausea have seem to stop, i’m not bleeding anymore, and i’m overall feeling more human so If i didn’t have that random hcg done at the first urgent care I never would’ve known any of this was going on

Anyways I have my next serial hcg happening on June 4th, my OB said this seems like a non viable PUL and we are gonna keep monitoring hcg levels unless they sky rocket into dangerous territory

So back to my original reasoning for the post, i’m failing to find ANYTHING online of anyone going through something similar (especially with such low numbers) and I could really use some success stories of something like this resolving on its own without MTX i’m truly dreading that if
it comes to that.

Also may sound “crunchy” of me but is there anything I can do at home to safely lower my hcg levels

Thank you in advance!

If anyone has had a PUL or ectopic that resolves on its own I would love to hear success stories as i’m spiraling a bit. I’ve posted a few other times but to just summarize I had period like bleeding from May 25th-28th that’s gradually lightened to almost nothing today on May 31st. Anyway shortly after through unrelated doctors visit found out I was actually pregnant which was way off my radar because I thought I was on my period regardless my husband and I were TTC. Anyways my blood hcg trends as this:

May 28th - 12
May 29th - 22
May 30th- 23
May 31st- 28

I was diagnosed with non viable pregnancy of unknown location/ put on potential ectopic watch. If anyone has a similar story please comment it below.

So yesterday I posted about my ER visit and potential ectopic/ confusing pregnancy situation so just a small follow up; i had repeat hcg done today and my levels were essentially the same as yesterday. I was told it doesn’t sound ectopic/ whatever it is my body is likely resolving it accordingly and to get repeat bloodwork on Monday (48 hours)

My timeline
-faint positive + digital at home pregnancy test May 23
-period like bleeding (moderately heavy darkish to normal red with small clots) from May 25th-27th followed by brown spotting up until today May 30th
-hcg beta done on May 28 was 12
-hcg beta done on May 29th was 22
-hcg beta done on May 30th was 23
(edit in)
-hcg beta done on May 31 was 28

It also seems like overnight my “pregnancy” symptoms have drastically improved i’ve been nauseous for the past week along with major food aversion and been barely eating and all of a sudden today my appetite was back and food actually started sounding good again if related at all. Based on my LMP I would be ~4 weeks 5 days, I was told my pregnancy is non viable which i’ve accepted i’m more worried about potential ectopic if anyone has a similar story good or bad I would love to hear it. Especially if it you had something similar and you had it resolved on its own.

Hello I’ve had bleeding going on for a week i actually thought it was my period until a non related urgent care visit they ran a blood hcg that turned out to be 12, i went back for another blood hcg the next day and it was 22, and then another today and it was 23 so essentially staying the same. I haven’t heard from my doctor about next steps yet but so far it’s not increasing anymore just staying the same. Based on my last period I am 4 weeks 5 days pregnant. If you had an ectopic/pregnancy like this what was the outcome?

My husband and I are TTC, when I was 10dpo (may 22nd) I had a positive digital test and a positive line test (vvvf) but that same day I got a hcg test done and that came back 24 hours later as negative. I continued to take at home tests and they were all negatives I chalked it up to either extremely early chemical or faulty tests and started bleeding 2 days later fairly heavy like a normal period for 3 days straight day 4 and now 5 of what I thought was my period has lightened up but i’ve been so consistently nauseous and have had a hard time eating throughout this whole week so i ended up at urgent care yesterday to make sure there wasn’t something underlying and they decided to run a hcg beta just to make sure (definitely wasn’t expecting anything to come from it. Well this morning (5 days after bleeding started) I had some weird desire to just take an at home urine test and it was positive and i was completely disbelief so i took 5 more and used 5 different brands ALL POSITIVE. I called my doctor who i’ve been keeping in contact with and he suggested with the heavy bleeding plus continued positive tests I go to the ER to rule out anything bad. Well shortly after I got all my at home positive tests my blood work from the day prior came back and my hcg beta was 12??? Cue more confusion but whatever I went to the ER after a long 8 hours of waiting around and tests my blood hcg from today came back as 22 which is even more confusing. My doctor didn’t even know what to do with me and just told me it could be either early chemical still (despite not fitting the regular pattern) a potential ectopic that’s to early to see on ultrasound, or a somehow normal healthy pregnancy. I just needed to vent it’s been a long confusing day and I’m left with no answers. I was advised to go into an OB asap Monday and get more repeat blood work but for now i’m stuck sitting at home mass googling what could possibly be going on. If anyone has a similar experience I would love to hear the outcome good or bad i’m so emotionally exhausted.

New to this and would like some advice and input

I’m coming from a place of just confusion/excitement/disappointment/purely new to this just feeling all the emotions so bare with me

I got off the birth control pill (after 6 years) due to wanting to conceive on April 23rd, it is now May 11. I withdrawal bled shortly after stopping the pill for about 3 days it ended around April 28/29th. I do not have a clue how to do this if i’m being honest or what anything my body is doing even means so please be patient with me. I’ve been taking ovulation strips tests pretty daily because I’m not sure how my normal cycle even runs considering i’ve been on the pill so long. Anyways none of those tests have seemed actually positive, possibly a rise in hormones but not true ovulation. Tmi but discharge has been irregular sometimes it’s stretchy and clear and sometimes it’s more pasty white so not really a pattern with that either. But here’s the kicker, I had a positive (faint but definitely positive) PREGNANCY test on May 9th so 2 days ago but since then all tests have been negative and before you ask, I took the test correctly, read it in the timeframe and the line was tinted pink on a first response so it looked like a true positive but all tests after have been negative. I’ve also had cramping for days now, feels like pulling/pinching sensation, throbbed a little here and there, felt weird flutter that lasted all day in one spot almost like a bubble hitting my lower right side, and kind of just an aching feeling but it varies, tender to touch and painful intercourse, and doesn’t feel like period cramps in my uterus area. Ovulation tests are still darkish but not quite dark enough to consider positive. Oh and to add i’ve had no bleeding alongside these cramps even though the pain of them makes me feel I should be. I’m thinking everything is just out of whack since stopping birth control but the positive pregnancy test threw me off because A) it seems to early to even see a result like that and B) all tests afterwards have been negative. I’ve been extremely emotional as well, I never cry but everything is making me feel choked up.

So to sum it up I just want a little clarity that what i’m feeling is normal, the constant cramping that will be intensified on and off, the weird ovulation tests and pregnancy test etc. And also would like people’s experiences on how long it took for things to regulate after stopping birth control. For context if it matters i’m in my mid 20’s and I have a child already who’s 6 (unplanned, or else maybe i’d be better at all this TTC stuff 🙃)

Going to add in that yes I realize I just started all this and It takes time I know all this but having a positive pregnancy test made my alarms go off and now i’m spiraling.
