I just wanted to thank everyone who posted here as it is a great relief to read these stories and see that they can have a positive outcome. On the other hand, I am so sorry to hear of all the ladies who suffered a loss.

I just found out I was pg a week ago. I am currently only about 4w 1d, very early. I had some implantation spotting, it never really stopped and then turned red on the weekend. I freaked and started crying. DH called the ER and they said if I had any cramps or pain to come straight in. I had an appt with my GP scheduled for Tuesday morning, and although there was more red, I did not have any pain so we never went to teh ER, I just rested in bed.

So I went to the GP where we were expecting to have the blood drawn etc, and as soon as I said I had blood the doc seemed worried. SHe made me take a urine test in her office which came back neg, despite the six pee sticks I had at home with a positive on them (I actually now think this was because I only went to the bathroom about ten mins before). So she gave me a pathology referral for HCG, beta HCG and u/s. I went to the u/s but it was too early to tell, although they said they could see my lining was thick and they saw the corpus luteum cyst.

So, for three days we have been waiting anxiously, and after all my ttc research I knew it was the beta that would give me some indication,and if that was good, then I would have to have another beta and u/s later on. Well, I finally got hold of my doc and she said the HCG came back +++ (she sounded surprised) but there was no beta. Why not? I told her the pathology tech told me it would take 48 horus. Well, it turned out, the pathology tech called her about the suh request, and my doc cancelled the quantitative beta!! Can you believe that!

Today my bleeding has lessened off but this is our first pg and I have been so worried. I haven't had any pain. DH thinks I am just going to be a bleeder but I am not sure. I really needed those test results for reassurance. The GP told me to get rest, and that she would call me on Monday, to see if I should come in for more b.w. Well, I would think I would need to :mad:

I was really upset after this phone call and DH did not really understand why (although he has been great this whole time). It's been very reassuring to read all these posts. Thanks ladies and sorry for my long post, I just needed to vent a bit, I am really worried but trying to stay positive.
