Quick background - I'm 41. had a mmc October 1st at 7 weeks.
LMP was November 26, got my BFP December 20 and have had good pregnancy symptoms.
This past monday I had my first early scan and the woman doing the scan said the date of my LMP was November 20. I told her the correct date but don't know if she was able to change it in the computer.
During the scan she was saying "Looks good" and "9.9 (I'm guessing mm?)" She said "Oh did you see that?!" There was a flicker, tried to get a better look at the heartbeat (flicker) and we'd see it but then not. I wasn't too concerned because I know alot of people don't see the heartbeat early on. Plus she said "A couple more days and we'd be seeing a steady heartbeat."
She said "over all everything looks good" Tubes good, good blood flow, etc... And the cervix is closed. I didn't get a picture but everything looked like most 6ish week scans I've seen.
Wednesday, a nurse called and said that the Dr. was concerned and wanted my HCG levels checked. They came back at 12,000. I'm to go back Friday am to make sure they're doubling. (Or at least increasing at a good rate.)
I guess I'm really worried because I've had 3 nurses call and the first thing they ask is "Are you spotting, bleeding or cramping?" I'm not, in fact, I feel good. Still have good symptoms...
I know there isn't much I can do except wait for tomorrows HCG levels and have another scan on Monday but I was wondering if anyone had been through something like this and what the outcome was?
Sorry about the book, I just don't have anyone to talk to about all this.
