I’m not sure what to think right now. After 2 failed FETs this year (miscarriage and then chemical pregnancy), I was waiting for my period to do our last FET. My period was 2 days late so I did a HPT and got a positive. We were in disbelief that after 10 years we had our first natural pregnancy. Then, I started to panic that maybe my HCG that was <5 last month, but had been up and down prior, had started to climb again. My fertility clinic said I could have lab work and today my HCG came back at 303 (4wks 3 days). They will do a redraw on Thursday. I’m so nervous but hopeful.

Update 8/26: HCG is 451. It’s possible this pregnancy will be ok, but really worries since it only went up about 50%. I have an ultrasound 9/3 and feel like I just want to vomit.
Update 9/3: Ultrasound showed a yolk sac and gestational sac, he thought possible a flicker of heartbeat but a bit early. I’ll have another ultrasound 9/16. Still anxious but for now I’m still pregnant.

Update 9/16: We have a heartbeat!

Not the HCG I was hoping for, but the doctor said they want at least 35%. It’s going to be a tough time waiting.

Thank you, the anecdotes do help keep the faith.
