I don't know where op lives but in uk they really don't do much,as sad as that it. I hope it turns out to be ok x
Is there a reason why this is? Like do you need to reach a certain week for testing?
Op I hope it turns out fine! I had a scary, red bleed from a hematoma at 6 weeks and also some cramps.[/QUOTE
I think they wait for us to hit 12 weeks because anything before that you don't know if the pregnancy is viable and if not then there wouldn't be anything they would do. I've had discussions with doctors about this because I've had mc's before and always thought it was my progesterone but it seems I hit a brick wall and they wouldn't even test for it. They don't help much here on the nhs until you get to 12 weeks and then you're offered your first scan after that.
Oh yeh but if they think it's an ectopic then they do do a referral for a scan.
Wow...when I had my chemical I had one scan at the ER, as well as hcg drawn the same day and a day later another scan and more hcg levels at my doctors office.
When I bled with this baby at 6 weeks I was immediately seen by my OB, had a scan and was put on progesterone because getting pregnant right after a chemical I had no uterine lining. I really feel the progesterone benefit and maybe this pregnancy would not have continued without it. It is horrible to think that you can't get any testing early on because I feel in case of low progesterone, a hematoma or crampy uterus some help can be provided still.
Op go for bloodwork it will tell you a lot.
I think if I were in the UK I would die of anxiety lol
Me too! Germany is already tougher than than other places...like you need to pay lots for many basic blood tests nowadays, so I could not afford many tests like the 1st trimester screening
I was thinking maybe the OP can rush to be seen by pretending she feels lots of pain and feels faint? I think if it would help to get seen I would put on the best show ever. Not sure they would definitely do a scan or test levels but just a thought.
