Update from scan

39 Replies

Following on from my last post I've just spoken to the Junior Doctor and HCG levels have only risen by 45% in 48hrs and they wanted to see a min of 63% so results have referred to a consultant as they are inconclusive, I asked if he would call me this evening and he said maybe/maybe not, I've had no sleep since Weds and feel in a state of limbo.

Really don't know what to think :-(

Clairenix I didn't want to read and run but I just wanted to wish you all the best. Remember, hardly anyone is tested so often so early so they just don't know. That is quite a healthy number and hopefully all will be well with your next. Sending you massive hugs xxx

Thankyou, I also read that it was a good number I was just really cautious because it hadn't increased by the min 63% that they wanted to see. They want to scan me in 7 days so have got to try and think positive until then xxx

Hoping this is enough for you and that you just have a slow riser. I know it must be so hard to relax but I hope you get some sleep soon xx

in reply toTugsgirl

Thank you, since the doc rang me back I do feel a bit calmer, he said its 50/50 and said it could be just very small which I know you had said so I'm hoping that is the case. I'm hoping I'll get more sleep tonight.

I hope you are ok xx

My first pregnancy my levels were slow in rising and didn’t double (see my old posts from 2 years ago) then all of a sudden they just started doubling.

It is 50/50 but you have to keep hope 🤞

I have everything crossed for you lovely. Try and get some rest xxxx

in reply tolianm8

I have just read through your posts,sounds like you really went through it too!! It is good to read success stories and I need to try and not get hung up on the numbers.

At this stage I'm still I'm still in the game so have to try not to stress now xxx

I am just over 6 weeks and my HCG has stopped doubling. My clinic weren’t worried as it is supposed to slow down at this stage.

I too have a scan on Friday so looks like we both just need to get through the next week.

Omg good luck guys xxx

Thankyou xxx

in reply toMantaray75

Hey Mantaray, do you mind me asking what % your HCG has been increasing by? That's good to know that it does start slowing down at this point,just hoping that my increase is enough to reflect that it is still developing.

Good luck for your scan Friday, how are you feeling?

HCG Friday was 3600, then following Wednesday 20,000 then Friday 30,600.

Unfortunately started bleeding heavy tonight so I think I’m done. Have never yet made it to a 7 week scan.

Everything crossed for you.

in reply toMantaray75

I'm so sorry to hear you have started bleeding, have you spoken with your clinic? I have everything crossed for you that this one will make it x

My clinic is in Spain and I’m in New Zealand! Not much they can do anyway.

Feel like I’ve been here before. I’ve spoken to my midwife (you arrange them early on in NZ) who will sort a scan tomorrow but I know it’s just a matter of waiting.

I really hope that its not bad news for you, sending you lots of hugs and I have everything crossed for you xx

Hi Dunla,

How are you?

Thank you that's much appreciated

I think I was that exhausted yesterday I did manage to get some sleep,although I did have trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night, which I am hoping is a good sign xx

Hope everything goes your way. Sending prayers xx

Thank you so much, all I can do now is pray xx

I really wanted to message you after Friday, but didn't like to in case you didn't want to be bothered. Sending you huge hugs, I hope they can tell you one way or another soon xxx

When u get overwhelmed, step back and calm urself. Re positive imagery. Imagine the little embryo/s snuggling into s nest in ur uterine lining where they are nourished, loved, and grow. Doctors unfortunately aren’t there to treat mind and spirit. Depending on where u live across the US there’s a good 25 yr difference in doctors understanding and willingness to color outside the lines of their limited training in Med school.

I’ll pray for u.

in reply toThirtysixyrslooking

Thankyou for your message, I did think to myself yesterday that I need to do some meditation to help me to remain calm, I am feeling more optimistic and I know stress won't help my little one...positive thoughts x

Wishing you and little emby all the best. Do everything you can to stay as stress free as you can. Fingers and toes crossed for you xx

in reply toLKT1

Thankyou, my o/h,parents and you guys on here are being very supportive which is helping me to look on the bright side.I did go back to the gym a couple of times last week but not going to go bk until after my scan,just incase!! Xx

Good luck! 50/50 is still in the game. I had 3 consecutive chemical pregnancies and the hcg didn’t double so I knew it was game over but there is certainly hope as it’s only just under half with yours. Praying all is ok xxx

Thank you,I read so many different things I had to stop researching in the end! I have my scan this morning so hopefully we will.find out what's been going on xxx
