Wow....that is really empowering what you just said, i think we all need to sit back every now and than and think like that!

ok update on the serial HCG - my doc (GP) said it should double. My results: 9413 (at 5wks 6days) to 14832 (at 6 wks 1day)... so I promptly thought huh, that's not doubling & gave her a call. She said it was still good, but now has written out forms for FOUR more serial HCG's ("just so we can keep an eye on it), as well saying she'd talk to my obs.

So... I kinda hoped I'd get a "that's great, don't worry & wait for your scan". I'm not sure whether she's doing this many more tests because I've had a previous m/c and she's being extra careful, or because it isn't quite doubling (it's 63% increase). But then I've also just read (Google is my frieeeeend! ) that through till 9 weeks, 85% of PG's will double in 2-3 days (or be more than 66%) and 15% will be less than 66% but still will proceed ok.

So I'm running with a take-home message of "it will be fine, and there's definitely nothing wrong" (which my GP actually didn't say!)... and I guess the fact she's doing more rather than less is good... just made me a teensy bit nervous I guess. Hmm the pregnancy challenge continues, fingers crossed I won't get kicked out of the house!!

Anyone else had any experience with the serial HCG's?
