worried

[BabyPlessingerandAmanda]

I'm supposedly due May 11th and I went to the doctor Tuesday and they did a vaginal ultrasound which didn't show a fetal pole. However, my hcg level Tuesday was 1457 and I do have to return for more blood work either today or tomorrow (between 48-72 hours). Should I worry?

So sorry for the news teg86may...u will b in my prayers. How r u feeling?

[teg86may]

It is a broken heart that I share the news with you ladies but my pregnancy is not viable.  I have opted for the pill to get me pass instead of waiting for the miscarriage.  
I wish you all best of luck

[teg86may]

Wish me luck ladies I hope I get to see a baby or something in that ultrasound. I have been driving myself crazy thinking all kinds of crazy things from etopic to molar pregnancy.  I can't wait to see something and put my mind at ease.
I do feel pregnant from light sore breasts, crazy mood swings, bloated, and this week I have been having a hard time with my appetite.

That's wonderful news about ur hormone levels firstbump!!! I'm so happy for you. I learned an interesting fact from my OB today. He says the hcg hormone level in pregnancy should b going up at least 60% every 48-72 hours. With an ectopic they won't go up that much. I believe he said w an ectopic they only go up 10% in that amount of time. However, don't hold me to that BC my boyfriend asked that and I was kinda off in space, lol. I think BC ur levels r that high, that its a good sign. Just my opinion tho. I will keep u in my prayers. :D

Babyplessingerandamanda, thank you for the reinsurance. My levels grow in less than one week to 9985. I'm impressed.

Yes why are doctors so worried in the first 5 weeks, there's not much going on except cells dividing. I had my third us at 3.5 weeks and all they saw was tissue growing in my uterus,  but my doctor still thinks I may have ectopic pregnancy.  They can't say what the tissue is because it's too early. I have no pain or active bleeding.
Best of luck teg86may.

Teg86may, everyone tells me i may not be as far along as I thought. I pray they are right. I've also hears not to do anything surgery wise,DNC,until the 10 week mark. Its very unsettling not knowing what's going on. Good luck Friday and please let us know how it goes. Will be praying there is a change.

[teg86may]

I've had 3 ultrasounds so far And no sign of a baby yet, Friday will be my next ultrasound n my dr can't even tell me how far along I am. I think I'm 5 weeks. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Firstbump,my hcg on Thursday was 2789 and I'm more like 4 or 5 weeks. So urs seems great!!! I don't know why ur doctor would worry and tell you ur hcg level is low. I have had some spotting as well.  

[firstbumpMd]

Thank you for this post. I'm only 3 weeks,  estimated due date may 28th.
My doctor was very concerned with my hcg levels only 4805 this past Thursday and my progesterone levels are low also. It's nice to hear other women having low hcg.
Has anyone else experienced daily spotting since their conception date?

[BabyPlessingerandAmanda]

They saw me early BC I'm a high risk pregnancy. I don't have a thyroid so I will have to be closely monitored for that condition. I also thought I was closer to the 6 week mark by my LMP. My levels have almost doubled in 2 days. My thyroid nurse spilled the beans and told me that BC she knows how worried

[karaokemama1978]

It's still really early to be able to see much if anything. I had an us at 5 weeks 5 days and wasn't able to see much either. Dr. Is having me come back this Friday for another us. I'll be 7 weeks and 2 days. Dr. said we'll be able to see a heartbeat. She didn't seem worried though. I know it's really hard not to worry. I'm a major worrier myself, but try not to get ahead of yourself. As long as your hcg levels are doubling all is good. Good luck.

[diela]

I am due May10 and booked for appointment next week on the 17th. I will be 6 weeks 2 days by then and based on my previous pregnancies I should be able to see a heartbeat by then. Keeping my fingers crossed. I know it is hard not to worry. All the best to you and I will update my status after the appointment.

[madia23]

Im due. May 2015 its my first too my hcg 13 instead of 15 but that was 2wks ago next appointment is the 17 no major symptoms. Just cant sleep at nite, cramps sometime, boating,  boobs hurt sometime. Is it something to worry about? Cuz I had vaginal ultrasound which they said we was fine.

[lil_fufu]

I'm  do on May the 11 as well. Im worried this is my second pregnancy.. My first was ectopic and they told me i couldn't have kids but I'm 6weeks now... they took one of my tubes...

[Crystal0515]

Same for me tiffy I called Monday for an appointment and they scheduled me out to Oct 2nd so I'd say it's still just early yet :-) no worries just enjoy the process!!!

[tiffyrobyn]

Im due may 12 and my doc wouldn't even see me until 8 weeks... wonder why they saw you so early.

[Kaylee432]

I'm due may 11 also so lets keeo in touch. I'm very worried also. My first child too.

[Paulatim]

Don't worry. Just wait another week or toe before going to te doctors again. Your hcg doubles every day in early pregnancy.
I'm 4 weeks pregnant my due are is 19 May, and I've decided to wait until 6 weeks before going to the doctors.

[alisonk170]

Try not to worry until u have you'r hcg levels. If they keep doubling every two days apx. You may just be very early in your pregnancy
