Beta Hell
Hey all I’m going through an extremely sad, scary, and stressful time. Monday of this week (05/11) I started spotting light pink which turned into a light brown and eventually stopped by late evening. I freaked and called my OB, I was in the next day (Tuesday, 05/12) and he wanted me to continue testing my HCG and told me he would try to get me in for my viability scan sooner than we had scheduled. Unfortunately he didn’t have any openings so we kept the original appointment and was put on the cancellation list.
Wednesday (05/13), I woke up and post shower noticed bright red spotting. I immediately left for the ER, they did a TVUS and they were able to see a gestational sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole yet. I was measured at 5w3d (0.7cm) , the only noticeable finding was baby implanted low in my uterus. The attending did a pelvic exam and did notice some bleeding but uterus was still closed. Left with a diagnosis of threatened miscarriage.
I was finally able to calm down as I haven’t experienced any further spotting 🤞🏻 until today. Since I went to the ER my OB wanted to continue testing my HCG. Here are all my test results as follows:
05/08/26 - 817
05/11/26 - 2087
05/13/26 - 4449
05/15/26 - 5168
I wasn’t expecting such a small increase in my HCG levels. Calculated to %16. My heart is breaking and I’m terrified. I’m trying to be cautiously optimistic but I’m struggling. I’m 6 weeks tomorrow and won’t hear back from my OB until Monday. Is there anyone else with a similar experience or someone who can give me some no bullshit feedback?
