just an update as I know I’ve been posting quite a bit so a few people are following for the outcome. I just had a scan at the EPU & they seen a sac & yolk but no fetal pole. I know this can be normal but I thought with a hcg level at 18dp5dt was 9083 & I thought the baby would have been visable. I have another scan in a weeks time I’m hoping that I have a baby there with a heartbeat. I’ve been spotting brown & did pass a big brown clot today so I don’t know if to relax & be positive or expect the worse

I would say this is positive, it’s still very early to see the baby. I was scanned at 5+4 and no baby visible. This of course worried me as I thought they’d at least see something starting. Two days later there was a heartbeat. These things grow fast and I didn’t realise how fast so please don’t worry ♥️Xx

🥰🥰 it’s so stressful I know but also take positivity from the fact it’s in the right place! When I was 5+3 I think my levels were around 5000 something, then 5+6 around 12000. The doctor told me they would see something and that just added to my stress when they didn’t, but the sonographer wasn’t worried at all. You’ve got this ♥️♥️xx
