saph is there any chance you could have a scan sooner?
i am pretty sure after 6 wks your levels start going all over the place and not doing what there suppose to like doubling and stuff, thats why they usually do scans rather then bts after 6wks
if your 6 wks 3 days you should be able to see a sac and a heart beat hopefully. so if i were you just to give you piece of mind i would ask to bring the scan forward and have it sooner
will be thinking of you, let me know how you get on ok xxx
Hi Saph,
I agree with M2C. My numbers were in your kind of ball park and I got to the same point in thinking that I had nothing going on. I was desperate to get an early scan and I think it was 5 or 6 weeks when I got my first scan and saw the little heart. It was an amazing experience and one I wouldn't want to put off and wait for. The doubling is only reliable to a certain point and even then, it's not a daily double, it's more like every day and a half when it's happening.
I think it is routine for girls to have the scans done earlier. We are the ones freaking out. Waiting for a calendar date is fine in theory, but murder in practice.
I don't know anything about ectopic but I hope you get some answers and an early scan to put your mind at ease. Chin up, we'll be thinking of you.
Thanks guys as you can imagine I had a crappy nights sleep and feel almost hungover this morning. I understand all the things that happen but it doesnt stop me worrying. My clinic does all its scans at 7 weeks. I am sure I can keep myself busy until next wednesday. Because I am on holidays DS is still at daycare on Wed so I wont bring the scan forward. If it goes as I expect he doesnt need to be there. Had lost of pain last night, sharp pain in my ovaries as "I stand up or rolling over in bed might ring clinic about this today as it is starting to get worse.
Im hoping i can join in your thread...we just found out we are pregnant and are both quite excited. I dont want to get too over the moon until our 8wk scan when we can actually hear the heartbeat. I am soooooo nervous as i have never been pregnant before and it feels like its taken us so long to get to this point.It would be nice to share the journey with some of you women who obviously have been in my position and are now on the pregnancy journey too. Will be nice getting to know you all.
