HELP!!! Very scared

[ickledoormouse]

BabyJo, I just wanted to say that my heart is really going out to you with this. You must feel so confused and frightened at the moment.

It's not that strange that the u/s showed very little, despite your HCG count continuing to increase. HCG levels do vary from woman to woman and generally have to be around the 1200 mark before anything can be detected on an ultrasound. Even vaginal ultrasounds aren't guaranteed to pick anything up around the 6 week mark.

I know it's impossible to relax, esp when waiting on your Ob is out for the day and you need to wait until Monday to speak to him, but it's important that you try to do something to take your mind of this.

Think of the positives: increasing HCG levels, no more spotting, no cramping or pain. Sure you don't feel pregnant, but not everyone does at that stage.

I did read a post on here a wee while back about HCG levels and viability, where a woman was told in several separate pregnancies that they weren't viable because her levels were 'too low'. She was even told be her Ob to end the pregnancy to prevent heartbreak later. Needless to say she ignored him and every one of those pregnancies is now a healthy, strapping child.

Sometimes we just need to take a deep breath, cross our fingers and wait.

I wish you all the best and hope your Ob gets his backside into that office first thing on Monday!!
