Thinking of you today for your scan.
Thank you! It's still Sunday night here in the U.S. 9:40 p.m., my scan isn't till 3:45 p.m. tomorrow. Feels like ten years away!
Will be thinking of you tomorrow!
I had slow rising hcg with both my pregnancies. Cannot remember numbers but I know what with my first, even after 72 hours they hadn't doubled. I also had a lot of bleeding. My eldest son is now 3
With pregnancy no.2 I again had bleeding (this time from the day of my +ve test) and was told to do HCG testing (not standard practice here) to see if pregnancy was viable. I completed one round of testing (3 separate draws), my numbers were again very slow to rise. After more substantial bleeding I was told to do more bloodwork. I declined the testing and decided to wait for a scan. The numbers doing or not doing what they should was too stressful for me. My youngest son is now 1.
I really hope your bean is a sticky one with slow numbers like my babies

Midday on the 30th here on the other side of the world. I bet it feels like ages away. My next set of bloods are tomorrow and it is taking forever too. Hope you get a good nights sleep to make time go a little faster for you.
Oh no! I hope it was just too early. So incredibly stressful. Sending you thoughts and prayers.
I am so incredibly sorry you're going through beta/ultrasound hell right now. It's the worst part of TTC, IMO. Please, don't give up hope. When I had the low/slow hCG, I went in for u/s at 5w6d and all we saw was the gestational sac. They said since my hCG had been slow to rise in the beginning and not doubling correctly, that meant the baby was probably just a little behind. We went in a week later and the heartbeat was there and baby was measuring well (albeit a couple days behind where they thought he'd be). He grew right on track from there, beautiful heart beat at the 8 week u/s as well. (We did end up losing that baby later, but as I said in my post a ways back, he likely would have been totally fine if the other doctor hadn't switched my meds around so quickly.)
Just read through this thread. I'm sorry you're going through such a stressful time. Must be torture to wait! I must say, I've heard a ton of stories where it was too early to see anything in the sac so I have a lot of hope for you. It's great that your beta numbers were so good too. I'm sure we'll be hearing good news from you next week!
Also, bunyhuny, your stories was beautiful and the things you said were amazing. I'm so sorry that you have to go through the long TTC struggle but it sounds like you will be an amazing mother when you get your miracle baby
Ah the torture!!! Sounds a lot like my first so hope it ends up happily for you too. At my first scan I thought I was 5wks and a bit but they only found sac so said either it wasn't going to end well or I was earlier than I thought. Follow-up scan two weeks later showed HB I was 7wks and a bit (matched what I expected). Apparently very early on it's really easy for things to be missed because they are just so teeny tiny which is why they do two dating scans here - they can't really rely on 1 early scan.
I would have thought the fact your HCG was increasing is a good sign?!
Be thinking of you and sending you and your bean good vibes!
Hey BMW, how did you get on? Have you had another scan?
