hcg levels is this ok

I'm sure everything will be perfect! I just re-visited my thread from nearly a year ago, it's very similiar to yours. I also got consumed by the numbers and made myself sick with worry. You'll be fine.

Hi all, it's Nicola the one who was over consumed with the hcg and its doubling rates.

Well I went for my 7 weeks scan and hooray there was a heartbeat, first time ive ever seen that, i cried in relief! the bub measured 9mm and estimated I was 7 weeks and thats right to my dates. I was so nice see that little heart beat I can still see it now.

I am 7wks 4days now and praying that little one keeps growing and the little heart keeps beating! another 6weeks to get out of the 1st timester i think! My fingers are crossed everyday and praying for all to be ok.

I have been having the occasional brown spotting anyone know if this is anything to be alarmed about ive read a few bits and it seems it can be old blood or just the cervix changing a little confusing but im hoping its all ok.

Thanks all xx

as a general rule of thumb (and it's very general!) - brown blood is old blood and nothing to really worry about (esp seeing you've seen your bubba's hb!). given it's small amounts, i'd be ok with it

it's a worry if it's fresh blood or accompanied by strong cramping

so glad you got to see your baby on the scan - it's a fantastic feeling isn't it?

Great news Nicola!

Not sure about the brown blood, but I wouldn't worry too much. Request another scan if you're worried.

Yes tell me about it, it was the most satisfying and wonderful feeling ive ever experienced, it was so amazing thanks.

Thanks for info on the brown spotting, its not really spotting, sounds bit graphic sorry but dont see it in underwear just on tissue so guess its just mild spotting, its happend 3times once at about 5weeks, then one episode 3 days ago and just little bit this morn its stopped now, so im hoping its nothin to worry about theres no pain with it the only pain i have is from the consitpation and trapped wind but been told this is quite normal. i hope so anyway.

Thanks for message x
