So i had my 6 week scan on Sunday.....FS could see a tiny fetal pole and slight flutter of heartbeat (he's not too sure about the heartbeat as yet)

He has prescribed HCG 5000 shots twice a week and scan again after 7 days i.e. 7th week........I am a little upset about the HCG shots coz he has not tested my HCG levels for past 10 days and still is prescribing additional HCG....i really want this to go the most natural way as possible but he just keeps pumping me with medication

Does anyone feel the same as me on this topic or am i being unreasonable?? I just wish he would call me back in 2 weeks time instead of 1 week for the scan coz it really is too early to see a heartbeat right??

bumpyyride - I agree with you. I would try to stay as non-medicated as possible. But if your doc thinks it's for the best, then hopefully he's right. Do you think he hasn't taken your blood hcg because of the shots? I would guess it wouldn't be accurate. Was your original blood hcg really low and that's why you're getting the shots?

As far as maybe seeing the hb at 6w1d, that's perfectly normal. I think if you saw any flutter at all that's pretty early, so I wouldn't be worried about it at all! By next week you should definitely be able to see a hb though.

Btw , I spoke to my oh and said we# won't tell any body yet alright?
My oh mere hours later phoning his best buddy for watching the 6 nations rugby told him straight away- the same with his 2 work colleagues that were at the rugby watching.
and he phoned his parents on skype and told them already too.

Welcome newbies!!

I am full of cold and I mean full of it - it doesnt normally affect me but I guess being preggers and having 2 kids is taking its toll haha

hey Cridge...he did take blood for hcg twice before....it was 261.98 at 12 dpo and 1578 at 16 dpo (1st march).......he said that it was ok when he saw the results.....that's it...no more blood work post this....just scans at 5 week (showing gestational sac) and at 6 week. He could have tested for hcg before giving the shots.....i just hope i get to see the hb next sunday (7 week scan)

Oh and he even prescribed me baby asprin...any clue why? I have no idea why i need baby asprin now?
