With each of my losses the level wasn't doubling. Obviously, things can still go wrong, and if her family history is of later first trimester loss that wouldn't be apparent at this point, but if the level doubles that's a really good sign! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-question-for-a-friend#post-2889070 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 07:19:36 +0000 cyoung 2889070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: @ttcgirl: okay so good news. Apparently the numbers did double!!! Idk if there was miscommunication between the nurses or what. But her progesterone is low so they went ahead and put her on supplements. She texted me this this morning. </p> <p>Also we have no clue when she ovulated. They were having a few relaxed cyles with ttcing at least for a few months. Her period is weird and sometimes she bleeds like two times a month and she did this past month so her due date is up in the air till she gets further along and has a scan. She only tested cause she was nauseous and cramping a ton. I think she is just now 4 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-question-for-a-friend#post-2889048 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 20:59:54 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2889048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: Do you know how many days past ovation she was when she got the result of 40? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-question-for-a-friend#post-2889046 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 20:25:03 +0000 ttcgirl 2889046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The HCG level is not as important as whether it doubles (approximately) in 48 hours. If the HCG levels are rising appropriately then progesterone can help for a sticky pregnancy but unfortunately if they are not there is not much that can be done. Wishing her the best </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-question-for-a-friend#post-2889041 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 19:43:07 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2889041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ask her to ask for the second beta level.. that's the number she needs to know. Progesterone can only help so much. It can't stop a miscarriage. It can help with the lining of the uterus, but needs to be taken during the luteal phase (right after ovulation) to really be helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-question-for-a-friend#post-2889016 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 17:05:20 +0000 cyoung 2889016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my best friend got pregnant for the first time. They just started trying. Her family has a history of miscarriage so her doctor told her to go ahead and come in to check her levels. Long story short her levels hadn't risen a lot. It was 40 when she went in. She doesn't remember the second draw number cause she was really disappointed. They said her progesterone was low. It was 17 and it needs to be 21. They are putting her on supplements. </p> <p>Will progesterone help the pregnancy stick and grow? I've never dealt with that side of pregnancy. We are just curious and wondering. She thinks it won't stick and is assuming she will miscarry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-successful-pregnancy-when-hcg-didnt-double-in-48-hours#post-2861220 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 08:08:56 +0000 foodiebee 2861220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such good news!! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-successful-pregnancy-when-hcg-didnt-double-in-48-hours#post-2861178 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 17:00:18 +0000 LAZB 2861178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks again!

I’m not even peeing on any more tests if you can believe it!<br /> @CatchAFallingStar: thanks! I sure hope so :)<br /> @bloved: awesome, thanks for sharing, this makes me feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-successful-pregnancy-when-hcg-didnt-double-in-48-hours#post-2860759 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 20:34:12 +0000 bloved 2860759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! With my first I only had a 70-something percent rise and I thought for sure it was over, but here he is! My second never fully doubled either, although he was closer (like 85% or so). I also always have pretty low hcg numbers. Fingers crossed you get good news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-successful-pregnancy-when-hcg-didnt-double-in-48-hours#post-2860758 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 20:32:00 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2860758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: it’s supposed to rise by 60% in 48 hours, which would be 142.4.... So, I think you’re baby is doing just fine!! :heart: </p>
