I’m almost 6 weeks right now but my hcg levels are dropping slightly. At 5w 3d my hcg was 1994 (quite low but seems to be in the range) and then 48 hours later at 5w 5d it dropped slightly to 1971. Since it didn't double but rather began to drop, the doctor is bringing me in for an ultrasound tomorrow, but I’m just so nervous I cant stop thinking about it. Anyone else been in this position? Trying to prepare myself

I’m so sorry to hear. Please try to have someone with you at your appointment. When this happened to me at 11 weeks, I went alone and when my doc could no longer find a heartbeat I was devastated and then had to drive myself home. It was a terrible.

And I’m sure your doctor will tell you this, but if you are miscarrying, just know that you did nothing wrong. PM me if you want to chat. Sending you a big hug 💛

Im really sorry, its not easy. Just to be realistic, that's not sounding super promising. At that point in pregnancy levels dropping usually indicates a miscarriage.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
