    Thanks for coming to my rescue once again BG, my OB did those first HCG BT`s as I was spotting and he doesn`t like doing an u/s till 8 weeks, so when I rang again on Friday which is when I got my results but I rang due to the spotting again he was still hesitant about doing an u/s till 8 weeks, I did feel a whole lot better once talking to him and he wasn`t concerned because of the levels being so high but since I keep thinking, they didn`t double, it`s just me being paranoid!!!!

    Oh well only another 4 days till my u/s.

    I also realise why he wants to hold off as like Adrian himself, he never showed up till 8 weeks, yet his twin showed up at 6 weeks, so I guess it`s because of reasons like this as to why he likes to wait.

    makes perfect sense to hold off on the u/s - i think i only got one so early because of the fact that it was an IUI pregnancy and they were checking viability, number of sacs, and that it was in the right place. i had another scan at 8w3d and the FS requested an internal scan as it's clearer. don't be afraid if, when you get to scan, to ask for an internal scan if they say they can't see enough - i know it's not comfy, but it's comforting when you can see so much more

    I`m quite happy to have an internal scan if need be, I`ve had a few before, they aren`t the most pleasant thing but I`ve had worst!!
