Kim, OMG I go away for 5 days and come back to you being preggy.

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you. I am so happy, that really does take away my grumpiness from having to unpack. You have put a huge smile on my face.

Heres to an uneventful 9 months.

Thanks Ally

had another hcg done today and they were 4651 and the nurse tried to tell me that they are low for my dates, but i looked online and it said that at 3-4 weeks post conception it was normal. but am off to see MW tomorrow so will discuss with her and might ask for another bloods on friday maybe.

Hi Kim

Best of luck for your mw appt tomorrow.

In terms of HCG testing, there is such a huge variance in "what is normal" and I think that the nurse was a bit naughty to tell you that there is a problem with yours. I had regualr HCG monitoring with my last pg (that I lost) and it was very confusing and stressful. Some people find it helpful as it gives you a slight indication of whether all is well but I have personally chosen not to have it done this time. Obviously it is up to you, and I am only speaking from my sole experience.

Keep safe.

Claire

Thanks claire

Yes, I am opting to only have them once a week instead of twice weekly like last time.

Hi Kim,

I'm no expert but your HCG's have risen really well, which is a good indicator and remember it's not so much the value but if they are rising and doubling every few days (even the doubling time can vary anywhere from 48 - 96 hours on average)

Sending lots of sticky vibes your way
Take care
Jacqui

Thanks Jacqui

Yeah i went and saw my MW this morning and she was happy with my hcg levels she said they are good for my dates.

I have more bloods next week and a scan next week too.

Well I had some bleeding this morning so am on a wait and see at the moment. If no more bleeding I go for a scan at the end of the week if there is bleeding I go on tuesday.

Oh Kim - I'm sorry to hear that you are having some bleeding. I will keep all my crossables crossed that it settles down and you have only good news at your scan next week.

Thinking of you and sending you (((((HUGE BIG HUGS))))) at such a worrying time.

Claire

Thanks babe, thats all I can do at the moment is wait and see.

Hang in there sweetie! Keeping you in our prayers, and sending bubs lots of sticky vibes...

Kim so sorry to hear you have had some bleeding and I really hope everything is fine.

Thinking of you.

Best wishes and big hugs,
Melanie

Hi Kim - How are you going today? I have been thinking about you and your little bean.

Claire

Hi Deanie,

I am ok today, so far no sign of bleeding, I did have diarhea this morning so am hoping its not a bad sign. But I only got a few spots yesterday of brown blood so I am hoping its settled.

That is good to hear Kim. I had an upset stomach at 6.5 weeks too and after much analysis and testing, they decided it was simply caused by serious hormones. I really hope this is the case for you. Apparently pg hormones can irritate some people's bowels - nice huh!!!!

Keep me updated.

Claire

Thanks Deanie,

Yes I think that is the case here with me, I also think it might be the orange juice. lol

Hi Kim,
Thinking of you and hoping everything is all good.

Take it easy
Jacqui

Thanks everyone, I havent had any bleeding since Sunday so am hoping all is ok. I go for a scan tomorrow. I went to see my endocrinologist today and she has upped my thyroxine and also put me on 5mg folic acid.

I had hcgs done on tuesday and they were 20400.

That is great news Kim - Best of luck for your scan tomorrow.

Kim I am so glad to hear that things seem to have settled down - you have been in my prayers. Good luck for the scan tomorrow and I look forward to hearing how it went.
