Any feedback appreciated
Hi everyone, I’m 29 and this is my first time trying to conceive so everything is very new and overwhelming.
My cycles are usually around 31–32 days. My last period was Feb 22, then I didn’t get another until April 3, so I was quite late. It was definitely not my ”normal”.
A few days after that I started brown spotting, then had one episode of bright red bleeding with some lower abdominal pain, so I went to the ER/OB.
My blood hCG was 17. They repeated it 48 hours later and it was 18, then again and it was 21. My doctor said I’m in “limbo” and they can’t confirm if this is a very early pregnancy, a miscarriage, or something else yet. I’m retesting again in 5 days.
My bleeding has now mostly stopped and is just light brown discharge.
I feel really emotionally overwhelmed not knowing what is happening and I’ve never been pregnant before.
Has anyone had very low hCG like this (teens or very slow rise) that later turned into:
• a viable pregnancy
• a miscarriage / chemical pregnancy
• or something else?
What was your timeline like and how did it resolve?
Thank you so much for any experiences shared.
