Thank you all. They didn't say which scan I was having as we're unsure if I'm 6 or 8 weeks because of LMP (I'm sure I'm 6 weeks) so will have a full bladder and empty it of needs be x

That's what I did for mine at 6w+1d sweetie!

They could see the sac via the pelvic ultrasound but then i had to go empty my bladder for the transvaginal which enabled us to see our bean and the yolk sac.

Good luck sweetie!

So my results of the second hcg came back. The first was 24 and the second is 75. So it did increase 60% twice.

But the nurse said they wanted it over 100.... And then she added that she doesn't feel good about the numbers. Which I could have cared less about her "feelings". She's suppose to be objective.

So I go for my third draw on Wednesday. I guess for it to double by 60% it has to be at 120. And she said if that happens they will do a fourth draw and then by then hopefully get to see if their is anything in the u/s that can shed more light.

I feel so deflated. I thought 75 was an awesome number to get to. :/

How many days was that increase?

Just checking in...Battery on my laptop is almost capoot, but wanted to let everyone know--Doing good minus a few scares over the weekend.. Dr called in Progesterone friday since my levels were a bit lower than he liked and as of today--NO SPOTTING!! .. Hopefully, I can get this sucker charged up and can check in futher from my phone at least--its needing to be charged too..UGH...!!

Sorry if I'm missing really good news--I just haven't the battery to check all the posts I've missed..

How many days was that increase?

doubling of every 58 hours roughly over 4 days.

How many days was that increase?

doubling of every 58 hours roughly over 4 days.

I just googled how long it should take for hcg to rise, most websites said every 2-3 days but some said every 72 hours so yours sounds exactly right. I don't know whether she means that at 4+ weeks they would expect a number of over 100 and she isn't responding to the fact it's more than doubled.
I think if you do a clearblue digi you need to have a hcg of 200+ to get it to say 2-3 weeks. However hcg does vary a lot in everyone - the fact it's increasing it's a great sign!

bugaboo buggy board with seat

The link above is the bugaboo buggy board with the seat on it, which i was on about the other night Good cheap price also.

Casey, when i had betas done in my last pregnancy, the HCG was doubling every 51 hours and there was a increase of 60% my gyne consultant was more than happy!, she said it doesnt have to double just aslong as it does at least 60% as every woman and every pregnancy is different. I had to wait till my levels got to 1500HCG for me to get a scan, i had a vaginal scan and saw Gestational sac and yolk sac in my uterus (i was query ectopic, as HCG rose then dropped, then rose again).

I think it's because I'm being seen at a fertility clinic. The numbers are lower than they would like so they are being pessimistic. Also, most of their statistics are IVF which is much more controlled than just Timed BD and clomid with trigger.

We will see Wednesday. As of now, i'm pregnant and nothing else. I don't know what they are going to do wednesday if it only increases 60% again.... but we will find out I guess.

i'm a little worried after hearing all you ladies talk about your m/s. i'm 6w1d, and no sickness at all. in face, besides the exhaustion, i feel fantastic.
now i'm worried!

This is the first ever pregnancy ive had where ive had any sort of sickness/nausea... Ive got 2 sons 5 and nearly 8 years old, i never once felt icky... This is also my 6th pregnancy (ive had 3 losses)

I have had a few waves of nausea, but nothing too bad. I do get some dizzy spells. Unfortunately I have started spotting again today. I hope everything is ok, I'm trying to stay positive!

Awww hunnie i hope the spotting eases up for you.

i just realised i worked out my EDD wrong it should be May 17th not May 18th whoops sorry lol.

Lol ill change it for you hunnie.

Those who have already had an early scan do you need to have a full bladder? Is it 1 pint or 2 pints of water a hour before? X

In my last pregnancy i had 4 scans from 5-9weeks... Each time i had to have a full bladder, drink 1.5 pints of water 1 hour before your scan, doing this your bladders pushes up your womb to get a much clearer picture. More than lightly you will be told to go and empty it and have a vaginal scan done, this gives a more clearer picture of baby

I've had some spotting this afternoon so went to a&e. Theyve taken blood and I'm going on Wednesday morning for a scan- I'll be 6weeks & 6days, will they see anything? Its going to be the longest 2 days ever I'm so scared.

Oh my god, this sounds terrible! Is it possible that you would let the family go alone if you think you're going to be that bad? May be good for you to rest quietly at home?

Poor you... x[/QUOTE]

I did really contemplate this but then I just can't bear the thought of not seeing my boys for two weeks, I've never been apart from them for more than a day or two. I think even if I end up in bed the whole time at least I will be there and get to see them. My husband won't let me stay at home either.

I shouldn't say this but today was better than yesterday sickness wise I managed to eat. Not much but i'm finding I just need to have tiny amounts and have my anti-sickness tablets spread at a lower dose but more regularly throughout the day. It gets worse in the evenings though, I wish I could get rid of the constant horrible taste in my mouth.

Ladies with no sickness please please don't worry I know so many people with healthy pregancies with no sickness. I know they say it's a sign of a healthy pregnancy but that feels like crap haha, I'm sure it's much better for baby if you can eat nice and normally and healthily. I know it's hard not to worry though, I've even been worried today as although I feel like crap it's not as bad as yesterday....

Well I didn't get dressed but I did manage a few light household chores so I am pleased with myself and managed to sit with the boys while they ate their lunch and tea without barfing lol.

CaseyBaby I'm sorry you are having all this stress with your tests I spent some time in an early pregnancy unit as a student and from my little understanding it wasn't the numbers that counted but what they did i.e doubled like yours. You sound pretty certain of when you concieved but perhaps you implanted abit later or something as I think thats when hcg starts to produce?

awww poppy hunnie sooo sorry about the spotting ...

I had a scan at 5 weeks with last pregnancy and saw a gestational sac with yolk sac... from 6 weeks a heartbeat can be detected

Oh Poppy so sorry to hear that so scary for you

They should be able to see something, probrably a heartbeat but the other ladies having early scans will be able to shed more light. I hope the spottiing has settled and you are getting some rest xxxx

 

[Lady H]

i wish i had blood tests done so i knew what my levels are, i have nothing until i get my first appointment through the post for either 8weeks or 12weeks i'm not sure which. The doctor just took my word for it and sent off my referral to the midwife. is that normal?

anyone?

Same here, waiting on midwife to contact with a booking in appointment date. My friends GP gave her the date there and then, but here I sit with jack but a folic acid prescription!

 

[Lady H]

Reading all of this is starting to get me a bit stressed. All my symptoms have pretty much disappeared over the last 48 hours (cramping, back ache, sore boobs) plus I have had absolutely no sickness at all and I'm 6.5 weeks today..... Getting worried that things have stopped developing or that there is something wrong. Crazy dreams last night, can't stay asleep but when I did I woke up with my subconscious thinking about miscarriages. Not exactly conducive to trying to stay calm and relaxed. Thank god my first scan is tomorrow morning. I can't take much more of this worrying.....

Sorry to be on a downer on the thread... x

Good luck Jules xxx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

oh lady h thats strange... i had to phone my GP's reception and get the phone number from them and i had to ring up the midwife myself, she then and there gave me an appointment for when im dot on 9 weeks

 

[TTCBean]

Gosh I've been having such funny feelings all day! Not quite nausea, but not quite normal. It's like an in-between feeling, my body doesn't know what to do!

 

[Sass827]

I got super nauseous this morning. Felt like being drunk / hung over pretty bad but I'm hoping it was because I had to get up at 6 and I usually don't have to get up til 8. Almost threw up in my car. Pretty bad stuff. Then heart burn about an hour ago, but I'm attributing that to the naughty lunch I had this afternoon. Guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.

 

[Babee_Bugs]

just been to the toilet and noticed lots of CM earlier it was abit yellowish but now its gone more of a peachy colouring?! whats this?
