Ultra Sound Scan

[missthang73]

I had a transvaginal u/a scan on 7/16. According to my LMP I should be around 7wks, but the u/s showed me being 5 wk.. In my calculation of when I ovulated and we had sex...I should be around 5wks which is what the u/s shows, but according to LMP and the doc, I should be 7wks instead of 5wks. I have a repeat scan nextweek on 7/23 to see how everything looks. I had my HCG and Progesterone levels checked on 6/30: HCG was 790, Progesterone was 14.30. On 7/7 my HCG was 3413 and Progesterone was 15.60. I then had them checked again on 7/16 with HCG levels being 8561 and Progesterone dropped to 11. I was already taking progesterone vaginally 200mg once at bedtime, but the doc wants me to increase to taking 400mg at bedtime. He said that since the HCG levels didn't come up as much as he wanted it to, we will have to wait until the u/s and see how that goes. Has anyone ever  experienced this before? Sorry for the long post!!

The appt went well. The doc says that I'm now measuring 6wks  1dy instead of 5wks 1day. He said that the fetal heart rate was b/w 88/90 bpm and that's he would like to do a repeat scan next week.

I didn't have this happen to me but have heard this from others. I would try not to worry. It sounds like your hcg levels are still increasing steadily but just wait to see what the doctor says at the next appointment.

Good luck and try to keep us posted! :)

Yes, I hsve  seen ladies have baby measuring behind when the doc "thinks" you should be.   Hcg's are usually measured 48hrs apart, and they should double in that time.  there are lots of websites that will tell you what your doubling time is.  I would just hang tight until your next u/s and see what happens.  
Good luck!!!!

Nope. Never had a US say one timeframe and blood tests say another.

Your post and ultimately, your question was a bit confusing
