HCG trend anxiety
Hi everyone.
I’m currently 5w2d. This is my 4th pregnancy, I’ve had 2 ectopics and 1 miscarriage. 2 of these losses have been in the last 9 months. So I am, hopefully understandably, very anxious and afraid.
I had my 4th hCG lab done today and the result came back higher than it “needed” to be, but I still have so much anxiety about it. I’m sort of hoping someone can share their story or at least help me figure out how to fight this fear.
My hCG has trended like this
August 12 (1st draw): 59.4
August 14: 143.6
August 17: 581
August 19: 1,231
My nervous brain is telling me “they rose so quickly the first few times, it didn’t rise as quickly this time”. So I think i’m just sort of anticipating bad news. I have another blood draw on Friday and i’ve ready so many different things I’m not even sure what that number needs to be.
I’m not bleeding or cramping, having normal pregnancy nausea, breakouts, and exhaustion. I’m also on progesterone suppositories because of my previous loss.
Any advice is appreciated.
Sincerely,
A very scared expectant mom praying for her rainbow
