Hi ladies i thought i would update you,on the latest,well as you know i finally got my BFP the other day,i had a scan today to check that the baby was in the correct place..well i actually thought i was further along,but seems not,the sonographer couldnt see anything,she said my lining was thickening,which is a good sign i suppose,because my cycle has been all over since my mc.they took my blood and my level is at 300,so there is a pregnancy,god wish could have seen it.i have to go back fri to check they are doubling.any one know what that level makes me,please pray for me on friday,that my levels do indeed double,im really frightned at this point.the nurse said to be positive,but its hard,we have waited so long for this.even worse knowing im earlyiar than expected,means even longer worrying.i shall update you all friday....

Your in my thoughts and prays!! Good Luck!! I think 300 puts you at about 3.5 - 4weeks or so.

I'm glad everything looked good at your appointment, but I'm sorry you have to wait longer now!  I know, with my previous miscarriage looming in the back of my mind, that this pregnancy seems to have lasted forever ...and I till have so much more left!  It's hard, but don't let the worry consume you.  Try to focus on one day at a time and not worry about what could happen.  As my husband keeps telling me ..."If it happens, it happens ...we can't stop it.  But there's no use worrying about what might never be."

Good luck at your next appointment!  Lots of sticky dust to you!!

You are def in my thoughts and prayers.  I am going to PM you a site I found.  I have it under my favorites, but when I tried to put a web address on here the other day, it just put a bunch of **'s.

If your levels are 300 then i would say that you are around 3-4 weeks. See below a chart i got off the internet.

Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7,650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal: <9.5 mIU/ml

I would also say 3-4 weeks. You should be able to see something on a U/S after week 5, definitely week 6. My fingers are crossed that your numbers go UP, UP, UP and away...

OMG, CONGRATS!!  You are in my thoughts and prayers as well.  I know we all say to just relax and try to focus on the positive, but I know it's easier said than done too!!  Me and DH have been TTC for 6 months, no luck.  I wish you all the best and a happy and healthy pregnancy!  Keep us posted!!
