Slow rising / HCG stalling?

Has anyone had their HCG sort of stall or had slow rising HCG and gone on to have a successful pregnancy? I had a chemical last month from 10-14DPO the tests stayed the same but this time they have been getting darker, just really slowly and today seems like it has just stopped.. I was going to phone EPU today but I think I might hold offšŸ˜”

The tests are progressing so I would try not to worry, epu probably wouldn’t do anything considering how early you are.

Yeah I’ve had it before in the past where they won’t do anything before 6 weeks, was more to do my self referral to start the process x

I have no clue? How dark should they be? I’m about 12 DPO according to an online calculator and both lines now same colour.

Mix a bit of pee with a bit of water. Sometimes your HCG might be higher than the test will pick up. Called the hook effect

Lines should be getting twice as dark every 2 days! I cried and cried when one day looked the same as the day before, and my little one just turned 2! I wouldn’t compare day to day - only look at how dark every other day is getting. Good luck! Baby dust!

I tried line progression and it just made me so anxious - I had a random one that looked so much lighter which panicked me - got the HCG tests off amazon which have four lines which helped alleviate panic. But don’t take tests for gospel as mine didn’t show line progression all the time and if anything got lighter quite a few times - 13.5 weeks today and everything great on 12 week scan. Good luck and I hope everything goes well for you but if you can, I’d book an early scan 7-8 weeks and just concentrate on getting to that, and try forget the line progression as it’s torture! Baby dust and love to you xxx

I’m definitely getting one booked, we did with our first and was the best thing. I should get one of the NHS too as I had an ectopic back in March so I’ll get an appointment through for that soon too, thank you xx

Hcg only goes up every 48 hour so it looks good

have you had any blood work done? it’s super easy to order yourself and go two days after the initial draw to get it redone to see if your levels are doubling

Avatar

that’s not really a thing that’s done in the UK!

Avatar

they absolutely will if you ask

Avatar

did you do another test? X

Avatar

it really isn’t a ā€œdoneā€ thing.
Some might get lucky and have it done for them but generally, it isn’t done routinely or on request.

unfortunately looks like a chemical.

I guess it depends on location. In Scotland I haven’t seen issues with hcg level requests

my thoughts too x
