I'm 7w2d today. So happy that I have made it this far.

At 5w1d I started spotting and the doctor ordered blood test and an US. My HCG levels were good but only the yolk was visible. Doctor ordered blood test every 48 hrs and an US at 7w.

My HCG levels were rising but not as much as I should be. My last blood test was Friday 4/21 and I was at 19k. The US showed a heartbeat. Super excited, I could finally breathe!!!

But, the doc called me and told me that my body wasn't producing the hormone; thus the low levels and gave me the option for the cream. She said she will keep me on it for the remainder of my first trimester.

I filled the prescription and today is my first day on it.

Anyone else on this treatment. During pregnancy ( first trimester ) due to low HCG levels? I feel so disconnected to my baby and want to tell the world but, I'm afraid my body will fail.

Any advice, success stories and prayers would be greatly appreciated.
