By my calculations I am 7 weeks 2 days as of today, but I had an ultrasound this morning that was dated at 8 weeks 3 days, but the report did say plus or minus 5 days so mine could still be right technically.
My issue is that ever since I found out I was pregnant which was March 18th I have not "felt" right about it. I had hcg levels drawn on March 23rd which were 20,500, then on April 6th I had them drawn again because I had some bleeding and cramping and they were at 134,000, went to the ER yesterday and they had only gone up to 145,000 in 3 days. I know that once they reach a certain point they don't double as often but it still worries me.
They were concerned about ectopic as my pain is mainly on the left side and my bleeding has been brownish in color and other things, but that was ruled out today with the ultrasound which showed a single intrauterine pregnancy with a heartbeat of 168 bpm. It also showed some ovarian cysts on my left ovary which I am thinking is the pain I have been experiencing but then I'm not totally sure.
I have an OB appointment Monday afternoon which I hope will alleviate some of my worries, but even though everything SEEMS normal, I just can't shake this feeling that something is just not right! Nothing about this pregnancy feels the same as my first (I have a 4 year old daughter already). I have zero pregnancy symptoms other than my positive tests too.
Anyone else experience this? I know I can't really quantify a feeling to a healthcare professional and basically everything on paper seems normal it just doesn't feel right..
