Ruth, I would say there is hope...but I don't know how much ...from what I have read and been told (during my own past experiences with slow rising HCG) when HCG levels rise more slowly than they should it is cause for concern and can be a sign things are not progressing as they should. However, there are cases of slow rising HCG pregnancies resulting in a healthy baby. I hope your little one pulls through. Thinking of you and good luck for the scan. I know you must be a nervous wreck with all this waiting
Thanks for your thoughts Flowerchild and Possums. Thanks Mel for your kind words - brought a smile to my face.
Scan is booked for 8:45am. DH and I are so anxious now. As Oscaroscar has pointed out to me the rate of increase is increasing for my HCG, so I'm taking that to be a glimmer of hope. And I haven't started bleeding again, surely that's good... *wanders off to delusional land where all is good*

I don't blame you for being confused and stressed, you poor thing i think I would be insane by now! Every time I see your thread come up I hold my breath hoping its good news. Crossing everything for you on Friday.
Oh Ruth, only two more sleeps, I hope you keep sane. From what you said, I said there is hope especially there is no further bleeding and you still have m/s. Lots of love and prayers sending your way.
Ruth I think it sounds really hopeful. Doesnt sound like too much blood to me. I bled more than that with DS at 5-6 weeks and it was a twin as we saw an bit of an empty sac at 6 weeks. DS is now 4.5 years old and full of beans. I have no idea what his hCG levels were as we weren't testing. I am being tested for this pregnancy and its doing my head in!!
I will be continuing to pray for you, bubs and DH for a joyful scan on Friday.
