Sticking Together Until We Are In Diapers Ourselves!

Michelle, I don't know much about HCG without calculating it out, but say Mary's other post and your times sound good! Also, err on the side of the doctor. I've heard them tell many ladies the numbers are low or they're not as high as we want to see them. If they called and gave them to you with no hesitation... another plus!
 
Michelle, i did the hcg calculator for you to see what is really happening and to me it looks perfectly fine. Your 2 day change is 96.30% increase, based on the study (below) beta hCG level for a successful intrauterine pregnancy should be expected to increase by at least 35% in two days. I understand the worry though, once you got to see your sticky bean it will change. :D

"Beta hCG levels usually double about every 2 days for the first four weeks of pregnancy. As pregnancy progresses the doubling time becomes longer. By 6 to 7 weeks beta hCG levels may take as long as 3 1/2 days to double . hCG normally reaches a peak level at about 8 to 10 weeks and then declines for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Morse and coworkers (2012) at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine recommend that the beta hCG level for a successful intrauterine pregnancy should be expected to increase by at least 35% in two days. A slower rate of increase suggests a possible miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. For women who are having a miscarriage the beta hCG should be expected to fall 36 - 47% over two days. A fall that is slower than this is suggestive of an ectopic pregnancy.

About 21% of ectopic pregnancies (pregnancies implanted outside of the uterus) have a rise in hCG similar to an intrauterine pregnancy and 8% of ectopic pregnancies have a fall in hCG similar to a miscarriage.

Serial hCG values should not be used alone to determine whether or not a pregnancy is likely to be a successful intrauterine pregnancy, a miscarriage, or an ectopic pregnancy. Serial hCG values should be used in combination with clinical judgment, evaluation of symptoms and repeat ultrasound (as needed)."

Click to expand...

I just checked few minutes ago and they went down more, 120/79. I'm glad it's back to normal but that means i have to go to work :haha: better than being sick though... :D
 
Indeedy!
Mine in my last two appointments has been 136/78 (7 weeks) and 122/60 (yesterday). Hoping to continue to keep it normal for the rest of the pregnancy. I think the first one was a little high because I was so nervous about it!
 
Glad your BP is better, Daphne!!!!

Mine has been like 90-100 over 60 something. Feeling dizzy always lol
 
Yeah I would have liked to have seen what mine was like last week. I was very dizzy all week
 
I think when the DIA is lower than 70 it makes you feel dizzy i did when it went so low after taking meds to control my BP and when it's high i get headache.
 
I started losing mucus plug! Dr says i could easily have several weeks left but i am 1 cm dilated. I feel excited but know I could still easily go past my due date.

It is funny how BP can cause so many issues. High BP causes headaches and low BP causes dizziness.
 
Crazy isn't it... :wacko:

Oh, I think i haven't started losing any CM plug yet although my white-discharge has increased lately. Thought I'll start losing it after seeing a red spot in my undies at 30w4d.

Boobs starting to hurt and feel heavy again, guess body is really preparing now. :dance:
 
I thought my discharge was getting weird over the weekend and then i started getting globs of what looked like EWCM. :)
 
I hope it's just our body's way of giving us early labor signs...
 
eeeeeeeeek so exciting ladies! I can't wait for some babies in this thread :)
