HCG not doubling

Hi all. After 3 miscarriages (one 9 week, one 11 week, one chemical) I am now in panic mode.
HCG 15 DPO June 20-337
HCG 17 DPO June22nd- 876 (doubled nicely)
HCG 19 DPO June 24- 1575 NOT doubled.

I’m so upset. Last time my HCG was double this at this pregnancy. I have a pit in my stomach I can’t believe I may be having another miscarriage. So unfair. I know it sounds crazy but I have such a bad feeling. Has anyone had this happen and been okay??

Pretending it’s not real

Well after a 9 week MMC and a 11 week loss after a SCH and a chemical last month… we got a positive again. Except I feel numb. Refusing to let myself get too excited. I actually found myself feeling like… annoyed? Which is crazy because I want this so bad but I was like “I can’t believe I’m going to have to go through another miscarriage again soon.” It was like immediate anticipatory grief already starting. We found out on what would be our first babies due date so I thought I’d feel some hope and happiness in that but it just made me more sad. I don’t think I’ll feel excited till we hit viability week… if that happens which obvi don’t think it will. It’s such a sad and unfortunate thing to not be able to be excited during all of this.

chemical? Or just wonky testing

I’m what should be 12 or 13 DPO. I’ve been getting faint lines for 3 days now. Last night I got a positive digital on a clear blue and then again this morning I got a positive digital. Just went to take a first response digital and regular test and those are both negative. I feel like by now my lines should be getting darker or everything should be positive. My last two pregnancies (both ended in miscarriages at 9&11 weeks) my lines got darker throughout the day and every day after that once I tested positive.
I’m feeling like this is a chemical but everyone I’ve known who had a chemical had a few days of positives prior to getting negatives again.

Feel like I’m in limbo. Bought all the things to surprise my husband when he’s home from his work trip tomorrow morning and now I’m thinking it’s a fluke or a chemical. Fucking sucks this whole process is the worst.

Telling husband after 2 losses

Hi all! I have had 2 difficult losses, a 8 week and 11 week miscarriage back to back.
I believe I’m pregnant again but waiting for a darker line to confirm. I want to tell my husband in a cute way because I’m trying to find joy in all of this amongst the panic and uncertainty. Did anyone announce to their partner in a special way even after having loss? I can’t help but feel a little silly after I did such a beautiful set up for him the first time around but… trying to find light and joy in all of this /:
Would love some ideas 🩷
