Spotting, Cramping, & Low hCG that’s doubling!

Shelbi

Hi ladies!

I need to hear some success stories here, as this is my 4th pregnancy after 3 miscarriages.

My husband and I have been trying for over 2 years, and I got a faint positive on a First Response on Thursday (12/8). I immediately called my OB, as he wanted to try Lovenax (blood thinner) shots for the MTHFR mutation. According to my last cycle, I should be right around 5 weeks. I don’t know when I ovulated or when we conceived.

Fast forward to Sunday (12/11) evening, I start having very light pink spotting only while wiping. Monday rolls around, and the spotting gets a little darker (still pinkish, but had some reddish brown). I call my OB and he orders labs.

I had my first beta hCG check Monday afternoon, and it came back at a whopping 32.2.

I went back today (12/14), and it went up to 68.3! Very excited that it more than doubled, but it’s still so low. I am still spotting, and I actually passed one very small clot this morning. I am having some decent cramps too.

I just need to know that someone else went through a similar situation and ended up having a healthy pregnancy. 🥺
