I’m really struggling mentally right now and could use some advice or perspective.
I’m 24, healthy, and have a thriving 4 year old. We started trying again after I got my IUD out in October. I got pregnant quickly and found out on November 1st at 10 DPO. Things seemed fine at first, but my hCG started rising more slowly. I had an ultrasound at 5+6 that showed a baby with a low heartbeat (71). About a week later I started bleeding, and a follow up ultrasound showed no heartbeat and that growth had stopped shortly after.
Now I’m pregnant again, and I feel like I’m heading down the same path. I’m currently right around 5 weeks, and while I haven’t had any bleeding, my last hCG rise was slower and it’s really scaring me given my history.
I also had a chemical pregnancy last month, so this is my third pregnancy in a short time. I’ve been on progesterone and baby aspirin this time as well.
I’m getting another hCG draw on Monday, but I’m honestly not feeling hopeful at all. I don’t even know exactly what I’m looking for, maybe reassurance, maybe honesty, maybe just hearing from people who’ve been through something similar. I’m just really heartbroken and struggling.
For context, here are my hCG numbers:
Previous pregnancy (ended in miscarriage):
Nov 5: 79
Nov 11: 837
Nov 13: 1,261
Nov 15: 1,740
Nov 17: 2,171
Nov 19: 2,695
Nov 30: 3,309
Dec 3: 1,812
Dec 5: 862
Dec 10: 117
Current pregnancy:
Apr 20: 17
Apr 22: 56
Apr 24: 137
Apr 28: 627
Apr 30: 1,076
Has anyone had two pregnancies seem to decline around the same time like this (5 weeks) and still gone on to have a successful one? Or is this likely the same situation happening again?

Are these looking okay? I’m kinda nervous that the first response is lighter today.
