Those are really promising numbers, are you still going back tomorrow for the 2nd draw. it would be best to see them goiing up. Its important to remember with #'s at 38,037 it would be probably at least 96 hours before you would see them double but noticing a rise would be nice..
Not all doctors do the double test unless there are concerns.... In this case, I would still get it to be safe.. Final peace of mind but congrats on the awesome numbers..
Good signs --- fetal pole present & high #s
UPDATE!! So my HCG levels are at 38,037!! Right where they need to be for 6 weeks!! This makes me feel better b/c I figure if the baby had stopped developing at 6 weeks, and I should infact be at 9 weeks, wouldn't the HCG levels be going down, below the normal 6 week range?
Just a thought!
Thanks :)
As long as there is a fetal pole its promising:-)
There was a fetal pole and everything, they didn't check for a heartbeat quite yet because it was still kind of early, but everything else was there!
Last night the small brown clots stopped and so did my cramps and I am having very minimal brown blood now, only when i wipe! I'm hoping thats a good sign!!
They took my blood yesterday to test the HCG levels, so going back Wed. to get blood drawn again. I am praying that the levels are going up like they're supposed to!
Thanks for everyones posts!! I really appreciate it! :)
Did the ultrasound show a fetal pole and heartbeat.. If thats the case I wouldnt worry..
I had this happen in my first pregnancy but around 11 weeks - i had some brown blood in my underwear.. No cramping, no pain, no clots...
When I went for my scheduled ultrasound 5 days later, found out I had a blighted ovum.. It can be hard to judge these things...
if a HB/fetal pole werent found, then it could be concerning but at the same time a lot of people dont pick those up until later as welll
Im in my sixth week too but thought i was 8 until an ultrasound showed 5 weeks. I started bleeding old blood a few days ago and went in for 6 week ultrasound and everything is fine. That was yesterday and they actually found blood outside of the sac, i dont know anything about it at this stage though if anyone has had it before itd be a great help to know whats going on but im sure youll be fine as its old blood. Good luck
They're very very very small and stringy clots. I have had this happen before but I was not pregnant at the time. I don't know, I just have so many things running through my mind right now, its hard to stay positive.
the fact that your having clots kinda makes me wonder....you should go to the hospital....just to be sure,..good luck,,,
