Going through IVF. Just had my blood draw with an HCG level of 85, 11 days post transfer. Doc says it's on the low side so going back in a few days to see how it trends. Anyone have success stories with low betas?

Yes, my 2.5 year old was a low HCG (don’t recall the numbers now). It was low for the first few draws but kept doubling. He was born full term, and is healthy.

Recently had my first beta 10 days post FET and it came back at 92 (also considered on the low side) 2 days later it came back at 260. I hope yours does too! My clinic was not worried at all about the first beta

Yes my first beta with a successful birth was at 75. I had another beta at 22 and that was an ectopic. Clinic explained they’re seeing low betas with IVF.

Hey what happened? Another beta here on the lower side … been told to go beck in few days

So far so good! My 11 day was 85 (clinic said they usually want to see 10 day above 100). Went back today, 13 day was 209. Good luck!

Hi Fishies. Im 31 yrs old,spouse 33 yrs old. We are going with IVF due to male factor. Today we got PGT results from CCRM Boston. Among 7 embryos, 5 came normal. 1- 5AA(male), 1-5AA(female),1-4BB(tier2,female),1-4AA(tier1,female), 1-4AA(tier 1, male). What is the best embryo among them? This is my first IVF.

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs.

Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.
