Check it out girls.... BLUEBERRY DAY!!!!

20 week scan tomorrow. The bright side, I get to stare at my son while the ultrasound is going on. On the downside, I have the normal worries about everything being ok. I didn't opt for the genetic screening knowing there was a lot of false positives with the test and my decisions would stay the same.
I just want to hear everything is progressing normally. I think everything is. I had an ultrasound on Friday and the doc said the fluid was good, the heartbeat was strong and I have been getting kicked for a week now. It is a pretty cool feeling. I hope the next time I see my hubby in three weeks, he will be able to feel the baby kick as well.

Okay ladies, how far along were you when you got your first blood test and what was your hcg level???

 

[likeaustralia]

wantanerd - how did your ultrasound go? everything ok i hope?

antsy - i never had a blood test. my doc just did a urine test to confirm.

 

[josephine3]

Okay ladies, how far along were you when you got your first blood test and what was your hcg level???

I had a blood test at around 4 weeks but they never told me the HCG levels.

 

[wantanerd]

My first hcg test was 30 at 13DPO. At 15Dpo it was 70, 17DPO 156. Its supposed to double every few days.

ultrasound went great. He's definitely a boy and was moving around. He cooperated until the very end and wouldn't show his full spine (cross sections looked great) so that just means I get to go back in a month and stare at my son again. =)

Five more days until 5 weeks in FL!!! I can't wait!

 

[Antsynewlywed]

I was 13 or 14 dpo... not sure which and my levels were 47... im just worried some say thats good some say i should i be worried.

 

[wantanerd]

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

Heres the chart from the american pregnancy association. HCG should double every 72 hours but if it goes up by 65% thats fine as well.

 

[Antsynewlywed]

Well going to get my bloods drawn in the next fifteen minutes or so to see if they doubled. it was a 47 at 4w2d 14 dpo. hope hope hope. IC's still havent gotten darker and im out of frers. I had some pretty legitimated cramping from the time i stood up this morning until the time I peed.IDK whats up with that...lol Wish me luck .

 

[wantanerd]

cramping is normal at your stage of pregnancy. I am sure everything is fine and your levels will be good!

Cramping is normal I had it since week 3

 

[Antsynewlywed]

I just went for my bloods and they told me ill have the results by 930pm. i thought id have to wait til monday. Im terrified.

 

[wantanerd]

The first few weeks are definitely nerve wracking! But remember you got pregnant! Take time to celebrate it! Also remember, once you see/hear a heartbeat, you have a 93% chance of delivering. After 9 weeks, you have a 97% chance of delivering. The time will inch by until then, but then it will fly! I can't believe I am almost 21 weeks already!

 

[Antsynewlywed]

I go for my first ultrasound feb 2nd. youve given me a goal lol

 

[wantanerd]

I saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks, and heard it at 7 weeks.
