Hi ladies,
I posted on here a few days ago about spotting... I was having a little bit and then I had some cramping one evening so I went into the clinic yesterday (I can't see my doctor until Monday). The doctor said he saw a small amount of blood when he examined me so we went ahead and did some betas. He also recommended an ultrasound, which hopefully I can do with my regular doctor on Monday. I just got the first result, for 6 weeks, at 25,859. Is that insanely high? I have no idea how to interpret this... I'll be going back tomorrow to do the second one -- does anyone know if it's ok if I go less than 48 hours between the two tests? Like, is 40-42 hours ok?
And another thing... last night I started having intense hip pain on my right side. I commonly have pain in my right hip during my period and at other times, so it is not an unfamiliar sensation, but part of me was wondering if I should go to the ER to get an u/s right away to rule out ectopic... But the pain is better today and since getting that beta result I'm thinking I can wait until Monday for the u/s... And I haven't noticed any spotting since the day before yesterday. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks all, this is my first pregnancy and I'm a nervous wreck about everything!!!
