    Can't stop stressing!

    Hello ladies! It has been awhile since I have been around the TTC forums, but it is good to see many of you have moved over to this one! Well, I got a BFP a week ago at 4w2d. I went in to have some blood work done and my hcg was 153 at 9DPO. I went back at 13 dpo and my levels went up to 930. At first I was incredibly relieved and thought I would be resting easy until my ultrasound (2 weeks from tomorrow), but today I am even more worried then I have been this whole week! I have absolutely no symptoms at 5w2d. I know it is normal to stress after having been through a m/c, and more than likely everything will be fine. I just wish I didn't have to wait so long to have an u/s! Please keep your fingers crossed for me! I will be keeping all of you wonderful ladies in my prayers.

    hannah its great to see you in here!!!! I remember you from the other thread as we lost our angels around the same time! your levels sound great to me. My HCG at 11dpo was on 43 so yours are heaps higher!!! maybe your doc could do another couple of BT's before your sacn as that is what got me through the waiting till my 7 weeks scan. I had no symptoms at 5 weeks either except for being tired. The MS kicked in at 6 weeks for me. We all understand your anxiety and are here for you hun. xox

    Congrats Hannah I know what you mean about the u/s my clinic said they can't see anyting sooner which doesn't help you wait but I guess it's best to wait for the Heart Beat to be clear.

    good stuff Lee glad you got a scary one out of the way

    ATM tired and really need more sleep than I'm getting dam IVF treatments grrr. Work good, family good and I'm just dying to tell the world but waiting for U/S monday to tell family then 13 weeks for the rest of the world but it's hard hiding my happiness.

    Lee Yay! Glad you had a good scan and that bubba was bouncing around in there.

    Erybery Yay for the extra scan! Can you feel bubs move now?

    Hannah Congratulations!! Your HCG numbers sound great! You thought you were done with the tww? And here's a tww of a different kind! It's tough waiting. Got my for you.

    Greenslw It's a good problem to have hey? Trying to hide the happiness? Really happy for you too

    AFM I had 4 heavy nose bleeds on Wed?! I spent so long in the ladies during the first 2 bleeds that I thought I'd better go home. Then I had another nose bleed on the bus on the way home, while wearing a cream jacket and then another one at home in the afternoon. It's so weird, cos I haven't had a nose bleed for years, and now 4 heavy ones in one day. I suppose I am on aspirin and the pollution was really bad here on Wed thanks to a tube strike (everyone drove instead). The whole time though, I was just so grateful that the blood was coming from my nose and not elsewhere.

    Hannah - Congrats on the BFP! Wishing you all the best - I had no symptoms at your stage either so please, try not to stress.

    pash - I have had nose bleeds on and off since about your stage too, my ob told me its quite normal for pregnancy. I am getting them quite often now and I got them with DD as well.

    Cherished - again

    Hi everyone else, hope you have a lovely weekend!

    AFM, sorry for limited persies but have been a bit under the weather lately. I have been getting quite dizzy and that along with bad sinus at night, very little sleep and a 5 year old to look after - well you get the picture. Seeing my ob on Monday though, so we'll see what he has to say about the dizziness, I'm pretty sure its related to my sinus problems. Sorry to have a moan Just feeling a bit like I'm really ready to meet this baby.

    Hanah - huge congratulations to you!! The waiting in early pg is horrible after a m/c. Jus try and keep yourself busy and hopefully you will see a little HB very soon

    Greenslw - wishing you all the best for tomorrow's scan. You can rejoice in being even happier still!

    Pash - eewwww nose bleed - bit messy eh? My DS gets them a lot and always at night on nice clean sheets! As megsmum has said, it i common in pg particularly if you have a tendancy anyway. My first sign of pg is always some nasal congestion/bleeding

    Megsmum - sorry you are feeling so unwell. I can understand how tired you must be. Hopefully the OB has some helpful solutions for you

    WTH - just saying hi! Hope you are travelling ok and getting fatter as we speak

    AFM - still plodding along. Pain is on and off but coping ok at present. Feeling very heavy for this stage of pg and little energy. Dread to think how I will be if this baby hangs out until term!
