Hello! I am new to this forum and very excited to have found it!! I am 8 wks 0 days today and due June 28th. I had an IUD for 6 years and had it removed Sept 20th, and then had a BFP on Oct 22nd. Since I never had a period on the IUD, I had no idea how far along I was. I finally had an ultrasound last Friday and it showed that I was 7wks 1 day (which puts me at 8wks today). I had my HcG levels checked on October 24 (based on what I now know would have been 4 weeks 4 days) my Hcg level was 1507. I had it checked again 2 days later and it was 2402. It didn't fully double but the doctor wasn't too concerned, especially since I had the ultrasound last week and it showed the baby and heartbeat! My question is: were my numbers NORMAL? I have heard that high Hcg levels are associated with molar pregnancies (which obviously isn't the case since we saw a heartbeat), multiples (again, we only saw ONE baby), and the last option is Downs Syndrome. Are my numbers indicative of a baby with Downs? I hope I am not being too paranoid, I just want other people's opinions...
Thanks in advance and congratulations to all of you pregnant mamas!!!
