    Snickers,
    How did your scan go???
    Your HCG levels look good to me.
    I had to have a couple of scans to find heartbeat, so I have an idea how you are feeling.
    Take care

    Hi Chris

    I thought I posted a reply yesterday, but then the site crashed on me and I forgot to check.

    We saw a heartbeat, 128bpm. They put me back 9 days which is ok as I have no idea when I ovulated as I had just finished another mc - so we suspect I ovulated later. The technician was fantastic, I was beside with worry but she was very calm and understanding.

    HCG came back at 27,600 so I'm happy with that. Prog is still dropping, so I have to go back saturday for more blood. Hopefully it's my body adjusting to the hormones, but if it falls to low they'll give me the prog support. Just taking one step at a time.

    Thanks everyone for your support.

    snickers did they say it was normal to have a drop in progestrone and for it to be ok? I am wondering as my progestrone at 3+4 was at 68 and at 4+4 was at 54

    Hi Baby Blue Eyes

    The nurse on Monday was concerned, and said that it was not normal. She explained that it's still very high (so is yours) but they want to watch it. The lady who did my scan explained that hormones are different in every body and not to worry. I'm not sure, it's hard not to worry. I've spent HOURS searching the net for an answer, or for someone in a similiar position. No luck yet, I guess time will tell.

    Let me know if you find anything and congrats.
