Mosaic embryo and slow rising HCG
Hi there, I recently transferred a low level mosaic embryo and these are my HCG readings so far. At first it was thought that I was having a chemical when my levels briefly dipped but my doctor now feels cautiously optimistic this can still result in a live birth. He seems to think mosaic embryos in particular can have a bit of a wobbly start due to them having to self correct in order to work. Just curious if anyone else has seen numbers similar to these, with any type of embryo, although particularly interested in other mosaics, and what the end result was.
I had a scan at 23dpt and they could see the sac in the uterus so have ruled out ectopic, the doctor also said it was measuring appropriately for the HCG readings which I think reduces the risk of blighted ovum, but I'm not due back for another scan now until 33dpt and I can't stop worrying that statistically this is more likely to end in a miscarriage than a live birth.
| Interval | HCG Reading (Start) | HCG Reading (End) | Actual Increase | Normalized 48-Hour Increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12dpt to 14dpt | 138 | 217 | +57.2% | +57.2% |
| 14dpt to 16dpt | 217 | 195 | -10.1% | -10.1% |
| 16dpt to 19dpt | 195 | 377 | +93.3% | +55.2% |
| 19dpt to 23dpt | 377 | 901 | +138.9% |
