Did you get any answers yesterday on why they wanted you in for bloodwork stat. I hope it was soemthing simple as they forgot to do them when you where there or there was a mix up of some sorts. Please let us know.
I went to this website and typed in my numbers and it gave me a doubling time of 2.14 days . Then I was worried about not seeing the hb with hcg over 6000 well I looked at my last ultrasound with my last pregnancy and it was 9025 and no hb or yolk sac was seen. so I'm not going to worry but relish in the fact next friday I will see my little bean with a hb hopefully...
Try to stay positive. I was told I was miscarrying. Two transvaginal ultrasounds showed an empty gestational sac and nothing else. My hcg numbers didn't double--they went from 71,000 to 98,000. I did not miscarry. I later found out that even though they didn't double, they were still high enough to be in the normal range (which can vary quite a bit from what I've read) so the fact that they didn't double didn't really matter.
I will be thinking about you and sending positive vibes your way!
Man I am so glad I found all of you here! Last night I was panicking because I was having a similar situation to 5preg2b's! I had some pain yesterday morning (which is now gone) and went to the doc. I had an u/s which showed both the gestational and yolk sacs, but she said it was too early too see a heartbeat with the transvaginal u/s. I was 6 weeks yesterday and was so upset. Then the doc's office wanted me to get bloodwork done to compare levels between Weds (my 1st appt) and yesterday. Well after 3 hours of waiting, I came home not knowing anything. Then nurse called and said that the level went up but not as much as they'd have liked. So I go back on Monday for another check! Talk about the longest weekend ever!
Good question! I was so flustered and I knew my nurse was in a hurry (she was calling on her way out the door) so I didn't even think to ask! Dumb...I know!
heres my other question: since I am on the progesterone if the pregnancy was in trouble would I spot or anything?? I'm thinking not... I'm not holding much hope.. The baby measured right on to what I figured out.. I don't know...
sorry it took me so long to get back to you my son had a basketball game and I was really tired after it..
