i think i may just be in for a cold or maybe a little bug x

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

So scan date is now 2nd of sept , got more bloods done today......my numbers from last friday were HCG at 133, does that sounds ok? Last friday i think i was roughly 3w+6d what do you think?

 

[Amos2009]

Mummy- those are probably just fine! It's more of if they double and progress than anything. Just as an example- mine started off at 97 when I was right at 4 weeks. Now they are close to 1000

Amos-Thanks for the novel! I like hearing people's stories and journeys. My boobs haven't been very sore throughout this pregnancy-a little tender here and there-and when the cats run across them I think I might strangle them but other than that, not so much. I have read conflicting things-some say that low progesterone can make for extra sore boobs, and then, of course, I have read that progesterone makes boobs sore! So who the hell knows.

Jenny-I hope its just MS and not a bug coming on!

Mummy2Angel-your number sounds very good for 3 wks 6 days! My first beta was 59 at 12 dpo and then quadrupled three days later. Sounds like a nice strong start!

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

Thanks ladies i feel a bit better now got more done today so should get results on monday hopefully see a big rise, thanks again x

 

[Amos2009]

EPD- that's weird that you say that about the boobs. It would actually make sense for me. My progesterone levels have never been checked before and I always had sore boobs. Now that I am on progesterone and the levels are good- they are not sore! Crazy!

i think im gonna get hubby to give me a massage when he gets in hmmmm sounds great
you know guys i was looking through my old notes from my last pregnancy and from 5 weeks thats when i started having problems and lost the pregnancy @ 6+2 i know this is gonna be really hard but i need to stay positive and not think back cause every pregnancy is different x

My symptoms come and all the time and each week they seem to change too. I had sore boobs like constantly but now I just get them occasionally. My morning sickness seems to be ok in the morning but by about 2pm it's started creeping in and by 5 - 7pm I'm at my worst.

The tiredness comes and goes too, one day I don't feel too bad thhen the next I feel shattered. I find if I try and do too much I then get tired really easily.

I'm just taking each day as it comes really as it's all I can do at the moment

Hey ladies!
I had another scan today and all is good phew!!!! Doc managed to get a nuchal measurement and he thinks its looking good. I have the NT scan on Tuesday so hopefully the good scan will continue.

Just like to give some reasurance for low betas. At 5 weeks mine were only 200 and at the time doctors and midwives were throwing around words like chemical and miscarriage. Only my doc said to relax and that its the doubling that matters. Sure enough they started to double and here i am 10w6d everything looking good.

 

[MissMaternal]

I can't believe how many people have scans on the 2nd September!
That's my birthday!!

As for symptoms, mine don't really tend to come and go, although the cramping has eased off alot, and today i had that tugging feeling behind my belly button. Been getting that lovely metallic taste in my mouth, and today at work i was SO exhausted. My job means i am continually walking around all day, so is tiring enough when NOT pregnant! Kept feeling a bit dizzy too. No morning sickness yet though...felt nauseous a few times but not been sick. Although in my last pregnancy it didn't hit me until 9+6.....

Hope everyone is well xxx

Honey whats wrong xx

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

I just cant get it out of my head that 133 wasnt high enough, if im 5 weeks should i not get 3+ on digi, but on tuesday i only got 2-3 i keep getting these weird cramping feelings and i just cant shake the feeling it'll all be over soon

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman’s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

its ok hun its in the range , are you getting more bloods done ? xx

 

[Mummy2Angel.]
