So the appointment went really well, she did another test and the lines were amazingly dark, she took my blood samples too. I don't see her again now till 16 weeks!

My dating scan will be when I'm between 11 and 14 weeks. Ahhhh I can't wait

Hey ladies, so I had my second beta today and hcg was great @623. My progesterone was only 11.5 and they want it to be around 15-20 so I have to supplement 2 pills a day. I also get my first scan on Thursday to make sure baby is where it's supposed to be and tucked in nicely . I cannot wait to even see a little sac.
How are you ladies doing?

What is this beta thing I keep hearing about? I never got told what my hcg levels were

When they test your blood the beta is the pregnancy hormone Hcg and progesterone count. The Hcg tells them your baby is going normally by how fast your numbers double every two or four days, and whether or not it may be a viable pregnancy. The progesterone if it's too low can cause mc so they retest to make sure it increases, if not they try to supplement.

Do you find out when samples have been sent off? I was never told with my little boy.

The nurse calls me later the same day and tells me the results.

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Oh okay thanks for letting me know, I don't think I will find out what mine are then.

Unique beauty - I went to my doc at the beginning of my pregnancy and requested hcg levels to be tracked but they refused, I think it's done more in other countries x

I don't think these hcg levels and progesterone etc are monitored as standard in uk.

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I probably wouldn't understand it all anyway

How's everyone doing today?

I can't believe I've almost known I'm pregnant 2 weeks already, seriously it has just flown by! x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm thinking that too, I can't believe I'm 7 weeks today! How did that happen?! X

I don't think time can go quickly in the first trimester! I think we should bottle this slow time and make millions out of it! Time has never ever gone so slowly..... I have another private scan a week tomorrow.... Sooooo faaaaaar awaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!

 

[Mummy to be x]

How many weeks are you ziggie?

 

[Ziggie]

9 weeks! We are telling our parents after the private scan as I go away for 2 weeks 4 days after my nhs scan. I had a reassurance scan at 7 weeks (forever ago!) because I was stressing lol. Hoping to see lots of progress and an active little squid in there.... Fingers crossed.
