Good luck with the results antsy!! Is it common practise in america to test hcg levels? I get jealous over all the tests u guys get but to be honest at least i dont have the added worry!

 

[rosabelle]

my levels were really high and the dr thought there may have been 2... if not she just said it was a healthy pregnancy..
had my 12 week scan and there is just one so it must just be a healthy bubba..

at 4w6d: 3,676
at 5w5d: 16,858!!

I think it just depends on the doctor. Mine were checked once and I won't have an ultrasound till week 10. I have been POAS periodically for sanity!

Thanks to being with an RE, I had my levels checked 5 times before my first ultrasound. I also had three ultrasounds at 5,6,and7 weeks before I went to a regular OB.

I cant find my damned ID so they wont give me the results. Ill have to wait until the dr calls me tmw.

I guess they do it with everybody... just to make sure everything is going right

 

[Bug222]

ugh how frustrating... fx'd for tomorrow for you!!

 

[rosabelle]

well i had a call from my dr today.. my downs results were high and i have to go back for more tests.. feeling really stressed and hoping everything is going to be ok...

 

[Antsynewlywed]

I called at the buttcrack of dawn and the results werent in yet. Im calling back in an hour and a half.lol

 

[Antsynewlywed]

My doctor JUST called me. All she had was the initial results which put my hcg at a 47. I KNEW that.
Doctor- "the new labs havent come in yet but based on the 47 that I took at 17 dpo its looking pretty grim, you may have a chemical pregnancy"
Me-"It was actually 14dpo when you took my first set of bloods."
Doctor- "based on your cycle history you would have ovulated on the 2nd or 3rd."
Me-"I take opks... and it didnt even show up positive until the 5th"
Doctor-"well okay, but just dont be surprised if you start your period."

I dont know what to think. or do. or anything. </3

Maybe your new results are better. Since they didn't have them how would they know your results? There is still hope sweetie!!

GL Hunny and I will be praying.

 

[Antsynewlywed]

she was basing it off of the first set of bloods.

 

[Antsynewlywed]

I drove all the way down to the lab that would take my student I.D. as identification and I got my results. in 48 hours they went from 47-86... good? bad?

 

[Bug222]

that means they doubled... good sign.. when will you have them drawn again???
Rosabelle... big .. they screening results are just a "chance" of downs not an absolute. What tests are they going to do now?

 

[Antsynewlywed]

idk when my next is... i have to wait for the hard copy of my results get to the doctors office before the doctor will do anything... and they didnt *quite* double.

 

[wantanerd]

as long as they rise by 65% (yours did) you are fine.

 

[josephine3]

Antsy what an awful thing to say to you!! and over the phone too!! i hope she was wrong, I bet you can prove her wrong!!surely you are past your af due date now?

Rosabelle sorry to hear that.. let us know if you choose to have the other tests, chances are you'll be fine!

 

[ferens06]

Ive seen your posts on Facebook Antsnewlywed, I really hope everything works out ok. Your doctor sounds like an absolute douche though! I would change if it was me, how insensitive. It's beyond me sometimes the things I read that doctors say...

Sending lots of sticky dust your way! Sometimes God just likes to challenge us... xx
