Hello! After trying for a few years and lots of fertility treatments, I finally got a call for my nurse on March 31st that my blood work showed pregnancy.

17 DPIUI - HCG was 193. It doubled two days later. Then on April 8th it was over 1200. In terms of my HCG levels, it looked good. I had low progesterone, so I was put on suppositories. I went back in today and I’m considered 6 weeks, but the baby measured a few days behind. However, we did see and hear a heartbeat that was not there last week! The heartbeat was 103, which was on the lower end. But, I’m hoping that since the baby is a few days behind, it will hopefully catch up. However, my HCG since April 8th only increased to a little over 1700. Progesterone increased a bit. But, my doctor put “guarded prognosis” on my chart and it’s very concerning. The nurse did say that the numbers do match with what they are seeing on the ultrasounds, but it’s still really concerning. They said it is rising, but as much as it’s expected. Just looking for any advice or comfort. My anxiety is sky high right now.
