I do not know it yet I am hoping to get a scan next week to fin out has anyone had their hcg levels checked before because I had mine taken today and it was 1400 and the doctor said she thinks I'm 3.5 weeks along but that seems high.

That does sound really high for only 3.5 WKS, I wouldn't be surprised to hear you are farther along than that! Congrats!

How did the doctor work out that you were 3.5 weeks?
With those numbers you probably are further along

 

[grich2011]

She just said based on those numbers that's what she thought I think it was just a guess.

jcliff - thats great news!
welcome grich2011 and angiepie.!!

I have my 3rd and last beta today. will update you with results this evening. x

Hi can I join you?
I think I will be due 28th of Sept but do not have my scan till the 12th feb
This is my first pregnancy, have been trying since 2010 and this is our first cycle on ivf. Two embryos were put back. So far I have been having a lot of cramping, I spoke to the nurse at the clinic yesterday who said as this was my first pregnancy it was normal as long as no blood. But it is still scary
I am also on progesterone gels that make me always feel wet ( sorry tmi) so I am always worried its AF.

Yay congrats!

Welcome to the group

Wow this post is getting so long now, I'm struggling to keep up!

Welcome any other new mothers to be!

Hope everyone's ok?

Hey,
Will be interesting to see how many blue/pink bumps we get for October as and when people choose to find out!

Wonder if it will be more boys or girls? Or even mainly team yellow?

Welcome to the new ladies!

I'm struggling to keep up at the moment as I'm really sick, so I might disappear for a couple of days! I'll try to catch back up when I feel a bit better.

I found out I was pregnant at 3w4d. Had betas drawn that day, and they were at 22. Had betas drawn again at 3w6d, and they'd jumped to 79. These numbers were awesome for gestational age (in fact, my doctor suspects I might be carrying twins). There is no way you're only 3.5 weeks along with a number like 1400. I would say you're probably almost 5 weeks along!

Here's a helpful site for betas: BetaBase.info

Welcome new ladies! :wave:

Feel better, Whigfield!

 

[zebadi]

Kel21 - i would say your further along with those numbers.
mine were 1113 on Monday and I'm 5+2 today.

Just had my last beta... doc said my BP was high but these first 3 months are so stressful!

Awww Whigfield, hope your feeling better real soon hun. x

Hi zebadi
Are you getting your beta test done privately or under the nhs? I have not been offered any beta testing

 

[zebadi]

Hi Bundles. I am having mine done under the NHS.
My first beta was taken only to determine how far along I am as I havent had a period since October last year but my GP decided to do another 2 beta's 48hrs apart.

I dont think we are offered this as I was not offered it with my last pregnancy which sadly ended in MC. you could always request it though.

How is everyone feeling today?

I feel exhausted and its only 13:33!!! I'm experiancing some sort of stabbing/ pinching pain in near my right ovary... anyone else having or had this before?

 

[mommyof2peas]

Im sick as a dog, pretty sure its the flu. I have a apt today to go and get something to help. Ive had a fever that I cant seem to get down, been sitting at 100+ for 16 hours. I'm a bit scared because Dr.Google said a fever is super scary in the first few weeks.

 

[zebadi]

mommy - im sorry your not feeling too well. Google is the worst thing to go by and will make you feel even worse! too many people telling you different things.
let us know what the docs say. hope you get well soon hun. x

 

[mommyof2peas]

Thanks! Me too, This sucks a lot. I would trade this for MS any day LOL

 

[grich2011]

That's great to know makes me very excited!

I had that and on the same side a few days ago. When I checked with dr. Google the majority said that that pain is most likely the side you o'd on and that it is the corpus leuteum.

Not sure what is up with me today. I have felt so sure this was going to stick since the beginning, even though I've also been nervous. And today I woke up feeling like it's not. I don't like ths feeling

Oh snap, I've been having that pain in both ovaries!

Not sure what is up with me today. I have felt so sure this was going to stick since the beginning, even though I've also been nervous. And today I woke up feeling like it's not. I don't like ths feeling

I think that feeling is normal. Take a deep breath and repeat the mantra: "Today, I am pregnant." Our appointments and scans will come and go, and what will be will be. We make ourselves so sick worrying about whether or not it's going to stick this time that we forget to stop and just enjoy the fact that we are pregnant right now. So whenever I start to feel nervous that I'm going to have another MMC, I just tell myself, "Today, I am pregnant."


For those of you who like POAS science, I dismantled my CB Digis with conception indicators to have a peek at the strips that measure the hCG. I think pretty soon I should be able to get a 3+!

[mommyof2peas]
