Q: Low Hcg At 12dpo
asked by: negar on May 15th, 2007
Experienced User
Hi ladies,

any of you experienced this? So sunday night at 11 dpiui did an ept pregnancy test and it came up very very faint. The next morning did a blood test (12dpiui), and they called me this morning to say it was inconclusive because my hcg was at 19. When I came home later in the afternoon and did a clearblue test and got "pregnant". Tomorrow I have to do another blood test to see if it has moved up and if so how much. I am freaking out. Please share if you guys have experienced this in the begining and then it moved up. Please oh please ...I really want my baby... By the way my cramping is much much less today and I still have sore bbs and hunger pain, in addition to being tired...

I think that could be normal considering how soon you had the test done. If all the hpt were coming back pregnant and you haven't had any bleeding. I don't think you should worry. All you can really do is wait for the results of your second test and see how much they went up.

Try not to worry to much. (i know, much easier said than done) But we're all here for you.

~Big hug~

Re: Hcg Levels
Hey there Negar! Try not to worry too much about what your levels are at. When I was about 6 or 7 wks I started spotting so my doctor sent me for blood work. I had to go 2 days in a row. The second day my levels actually dropped. This made my doctor think that I was going to have a mc so she sent me for blood work one more time and to everyone's surprise my levels went up quite a lot actually. I also went for an ultrasound at this time and the baby had a nice strong heartbeat and everything seemed ok. I am 10 wks now I still have spotting but I am staying really positive and trying to remember that everything happens for a reason.

So try not to freak out too much and keep in mind that it is still early so give your body a chance to really start producing hcg.

Also this is my third pregnancy (I have 2 children) and I didn't really have morning sickness for any of them. I was just really sensitive to smells.

So Good luck to you and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

So I got my results.

12dpo 19
14dpo 55
19dpo 360

Thanks girls for all your support. My first ultrasound is June 5th, so in two weeks...I am keeping my fingers crossed this one sticks.
Shanyan, thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. Doctors dont tell you much unfortunately. Since I have had 2 m/c I get nervous and worried everytime I have a twinge or pain. Did you experience light muscle cramping in your lower abdomianl around this time?

Re:cramping
Hey there Negar. I have had cramps on and off since before I found out that I was pregnant. I did with all of my pregnancies. I do not have them constantly but when I get them it feels like af is going to start, but just not as intense. I am almost 11wks and i still get them.

I hope that helps. Your levels really jumped which is a really good sign. Be sure to let us know how your ultrasound goes on the 5th.

Wishing you lots of sticky dust and a happy, healthy nine months. Very Happy
