good luck for the results and ggrrr at the u/s lady they see so many people in all the time and ask the silly questions that annoy us genuine people as they get so doozies in there! I've never actually been told my hcg levels for some reason so i cant tell you anything about them. Fingers crossed for your appt
I'm sorry to hear that the U/S technician wasn't pleasant. they do tend to forget that we have alot invested in those moments emotionally...it's not something we see or do everyday. it does sound to me (going by the spotting etc) that you would probably be really early in the pg (say 3-4 weeks). so no doubt the HcG levels are still low and it would also explain why there isnt much to see yet on the U/S. hopefully the next BT results will show a lovely big rise in those numbers; and if that's the case, then ask to get sent for a dating scan...i would try to hold out until you are roughly 7 weeks pg, that way there will be a more conclusive scan etc. getting them so early can sometimes lead to more worry than necessary (as you know!).
i cannot believe how the U/S lady was questioning you like that!! umm, yeah, my AF was late, i got a BFP on a HPT...of course i am going to see the GP!! man, what do they think? it's the 1950s and we still need to wait 10 weeks?! LOL!
big babe, hope this is it for you guys...you both sound really sweet and ready to welcome a baby xx

That u/s lady is a cow. I was so excited when you had posted, but no news Oh well, we are all waiting and hoping here with you. Take care and GL for positive results. PS - If you want to spend the money, or have any left over, do the HPT again and see if the line is getting darker. The more HCG the darker the line gets (as far as I am aware) and I would think it would appear quicker too. Perhaps do it with FMU every second (or if it was me - impatient - every day) and see what's happening. (Write on the stick with nikko, or if they're dipping ones, put them in a clip lock and write on the outside the date and time) xx
I cannot thank everyone enough for being so supportive! You are all so sweet, I am so glad I found this place!
Unfortunately I have scared myself absolutely *****less. All day at work I have been going over what the doctor told me on Wednesday, that it could be an ectopic pregnancy. So (naturally ) I have googled and searched on here and got myself so worked up LOL. I KNOW its too early to tell, it would have come up on the U/S if not! But the Doctors words about low HCG levels mean an ectopic pg keep echoing in my head, then reading about people nearly dying ... oh man I'm freaked out! Lmao.
And I cant remember if the U/S lady said if my uterus looked like it was "prepared" for the embryo or not. Surely if there was any indication of an ectopic that could have been seen she would have said?!
I need to calm down lol. Vent over! Hahahaha.
I REALLY REALLY hope my hcg level have at least doubled, cause that would put my mind at ease a bit more. If they have only risen a little, I honestly think it may be an ectopic.
And Joey I was going to buy more HPT's! LOL. I forgot though >.< So I just have to wait now for my appointment lol.
Today I felt pretty crappy. After the U/S I swear my cervix has been a bit sore. Idk if thats normal or not, but for a little bit afterwards I just felt uncomfortable. Fine now though. And I'm starting to get headaches, they started a day or so ago and today it was less bearable. Haven't been so hungry today either, the last few days I have been starving within 20mins of eating lol. Although I have totally gorged on food today hahaha. Which I dont know if it has anything to do with being pregnant or not. If the U/S didnt show anything because its too early, would I really be experiencing symptoms like that?
It's sooooo frustrating not knowing what is and isn't normal in pregnancy seeing as this is my first lol.
ETA: I'm sorry to bore you all with my ramblings LOL. It's just nice to have a place to get them out :P
This waiting and not knowing is horrible and i have looked things up on google also and given myself big frights.
I think the best thing to do is not to overthink it all it will just drive you crazy you will create scenrios in your head and get yourself too worked up.
Your symptoms you're experiencing now could be normal. I lost my appetite at about 5 weeks at the same time as morning sickness, before i felt fine and was eating normal.
I have also had headaches right through this pregnancy as well as terrible migraines.
Wish you all the best and keep us updating as things happen
Hoping its just very early hun. I needed an u/s to find out how far I was this time, but my gp refused to let me have it done until the BT results showed I was at least 8 weeks. She didn't want me going through the same anxieties you are at the moment. Not much can be seen before then.
Don't stress just yet. Amazing things can happen
ETA - sorry my post says anxieties twice....I can't fix it! Its only there once in edit!!! I'm confused, lol!
Wewt I'm feeling a bit more positive after todays appointment!
My hcg levels are now 170, so a bit more than they were asking which is good. Dr said it's still a bit hard to tell if its a non-viable pregnancy or still very early on, but the fact that I've had no cramping all this week or any other kind of pains or bleeding is very good. She said it's entirely possible I'm only a couple of weeks along. Which still means anything could happen, buuuut I'm not trying to dwell on that lol.
She also went through the U/S results with me, and although they were inconclusive, there was no evidence of anything or any changes to my tubes which she was happy with. They recommended I go back in 3 weeks for another scan to see how things are progressing. I told her what the lady at the U/S told me, and the things she asked and how "rough" she was. She was horrified lol. She said the U/S lady shouldn't have gone into so much detail with me without the scans being checked first, and she was astounded by the treatment I received and said she would speak to them about it so another doesnt get roughed up like I did lol. Love her hahaha.
Soo had more bloods taken today, another hcg test and Dr said it was worth doing all the other blood & urine tests they do. I'm going to try and get in on Sunday to see her for the hcg results as they will be in by then, and everything else comes back mid next week. I figure I'll get the hcg results earlier for peace of mind lol. for another good rise!
