Ok so a nurse called me back, I'm glad they didn't just brush me off. She said my levels are increasing, but still not doubling every 2 days the way they would like. My hcg was 1651 and prog was 45. I thought that was pretty darn good! But apparently not lol. She said either I'm earlier than we thought or something is wrong! The doc wants to do another u/s on Wednesday. I also asked her about the "sac with only blood in it" thing and she said that just meant the u/s lady only saw a sac and that's it. She said this early it is common for the sac to have blood in and around it so that is not bad. Idk why they are so concerned about that though because from what I've read it is not uncommon to only see the sac at 6 weeks...?
Idk now I'm just looking at my chart figuring out if I somehow ovulated late, or implanted late... I'll never know of course lol. I hope this all goes well! OH and I keep chanting, "stay in there baby!" to my tummy
hopefully the baby gods will hear us.
I'm glad they called you back. You very well could be a slow riser, and from what I've read, they usually can see a sac when your level is 1200, which is close too what you are....
Its entirely possible that you may be a tad earlier than you thought, and at the 6 week mark, a few days can make a huge difference! I read a slow riser story almost identical to yours, no lie. At 6 weeks all they saw was a sac, and the doc wanted to schedule a d&c. The husband insisted in a second opinion, they couldn't get in for 2 weeks, and sure enough, there was the baby, strong heart beat and measuring just under 8 weeks!
Plus different places have different machines, some are older and not as "strong", and sometimes the little bean seems to "hide". After all the ultrasound I had with my last MC, not ONE person out of 4 different techs picked up the twin! Yet my hcg was over 19000 at 5wk 3 days! I kept asking about twins and they kept saying definitely not, but when the second one passed, no one could deny it then! I KNEW it.
With newer machines a lot of women can see the fetal pole and hb by the end of the 5th week, and a lot if women can't too.
I'm thinking you have a fighter in there! And now that they see the sac you don't have to worry about ectopic.
I will continue to keep Fx and pray for you!
6 more days till my scan!
I'm getting excited and yet so nervous at the same time.
I'm hoping they will at least TRY an abdominal u/s first....from what I've seen sometimes it can be seen abdominally at that point, and sometimes not.
After last time I just kind if have a bad taste in my mouth over the Trans vaginal u/s....
That phrase sounds weird, but you know what I mean!
And nazz- I talk to my tummy too! I keep telling her/him to hang on tight! Plus I'm sorta using my cat as a psychic,
he continues to lay on my chest/abdomen, but carefully rests his back paws on my hips, instead of on my lower belly (been doing this for the last 2 weeks), and when he climbs on me, he goes out of his way to not step on my lower tummy. Plus he's still purring and kneading my hair and likes to sleep with his butt next to my head, head facing my bed room door, as if "on guard", lol. Jay wakes up earlier than me and is telling me that he's always pulling the cat off me, but I sleep right thru it, lol. He us not, however, careful about not stepping on my nips! He looks so funny standing on me, back legs straddled, front paws kneading my chest, and it hurts but makes me laugh at the same time, and when I laugh he licks my nostrils, the whole thing us bizarre.
to the point where I felt like an adolescent male - I was uh , "finishing" in the dreams! Then I would spot brown when I woke up!
DH was so surprised when I told him, I bought our daughter a Big Sister shirt and bought him a card that said how much I loved him and was so excited to be growing our family and congratulations on being a daddy to TWO and he was sooooo confused hahah he had the most confused look on his face, I go what dont you get about that?? Then our daughter goes daddy look at my new shirt, and he got the biggest smile on his face and finally figured out we were pregnant lol it was a great moment!
lol
! This is not something that should be put to the side until Monday, I either go to the ER and get a scan or keep calling until you get answers, then definitely switch doctors! Poor thing, I will be praying for you!
