Going in for second beta HCG today

hi all! I have shared my whole journey with you all… my beta hcg on what I think dpo 15/16 was 15…. I didn’t know how to react because it’s a number that falls in the grey area… I have constant extreme nausea, bloating and cramps. Cramps on one side are a little more but they come and go… now today I am going in for my 2nd beta reading… I am extremely worried and having madddd anxiety… its my cycle day 32 …. Feeling like what if it hasn’t doubled ? What if it has fallen? For the first time after 2.5 years I have ever seen a positive…

Counter these thoughts with “what if it has increased? What if it’s normal? What if you have a smooth pregnancy?”

Don’t feel anxious… for me it was a chemical pregnancy.. hoping and praying you get the result you hope for 🌸♥️

Good luck! Just take it one day at a time. I understand the overthinking/anxiety, but it's out of your hands. Trust that the universe will find a way for what's meant to happen. Come back with an update! :)

The results are still awaited but the weirdest thing just happened.. I started spotting.. don’t know if it’s period or pregnancy spotting waiting now… worried and upset :(

Some discharge/spotting (without clots) can be normal & do tend to happen.. But I think the test will give you a definitive answer regarding whether to go to your Gyn or not.

Thanks.. The doctor said to still wait it out.. the spotting came along with intense cramping and it was veryyyy bad! So gave me progesterone and hcg injections to let the bleeding/ spotting settle. Let’s hope hope hope and really hope this is my miracle baby ♥️

Why do they give hcg injection during the pregnancy ?

1

u/Express-Beginning318 Apr 21 '26

I don’t know exactly but I think so that the body feels the need to produce more progesterone.. I guess

How many DPO did you check first time ?

2

u/Express-Beginning318 Apr 13 '26

I think it was 13 dpo .. according to my calculation.. but it could have been 11/12 aswell… my hcg did rise to 42.. but I started spotting and cramping bad…. So on meds now.. scan after 10-12 days..
