    On my most recent scans I would have been 3w4d! when I first went to the docs for a BT - but my little man is slowly "catching" my original dates - so i'm unsure if implantation took a little longer than usual or if he was just a slow starter. I have kept my docs oringinal edd (6 days later than mine by LMP) cos its better for my maternity leave. By my last scan my edd is 20/7 rather than the docs 23/7 or my 17/7

    Good luck till Tuesday!!!

    My first blood test at 4weeks 2 days came back at 65 (I think). The doctor completely freaked me out and said 'they're very low, you're only JUST pregnant' to which I angrly responded 'Yes, I told you that. I am only 'just' pregnant'. What an idiot he was! Anyway, I got another blood test two days later and my HCG levels had almost trippled! A much friendlier doctor phoned me with my results as we had just landed interstate and gave me the good news. He said all was fine and just to 'relax, enjoy your holiday and your pregnancy'. Such a huge relief.

    I hope your results tell the same story hon. Try not to stress as low results early on a more common than you think. It often means bubs implanted a little later, which seemed to be the case for me as I knew all my dates were spot on. My bubs has caught up and all has been well since.
