So I had another scan today. The good news is they found a fetal pole and a heartbeat (tiny) which weren't there a week ago.
However, the odd thing is they dated me at 6 weeks pregnant. I understand about ovulation, implantation etc etc. However, I got a positive home pregnancy test 3 weeks and 2 days ago which according to this scan would only have been 6 days post ovultion and exactly 3 weeks ago tomorrow my hcg was 126. According to the scan dates that means it was 126 at 8 days past ovulation. That doesn't sound right. Based on the tests etc I thought I was 7 weeks. Not sure what it all means though. I wonder if seeing a heartbeat is all that matters or if there is still a chance it is not growing right. The sonographer said if I'm worried to ask for a scan in 2 weeks time. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Yay for the heartbeat!!
Maybe you just implanted really early or your hcg rose really fast in the first day or two. These things are all so mysterious. ------------- 5x mc, Jan 08, June 08, Nov 08, May 09, April 11 http://lilypie.com">

Don't worry too much about it. That's what happened to me, although they put me back 2 weeks. The next scan I had two weeks later, I was only one week behind. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I don't know enough about it but have you spoken to your mw or doc? This might be quite normal, I would try not to stress out (haha yeah right) and maybe ask for that scan in 2 weeks if you think that will help with the worry. Are you still having bloods? -------------

when i first had my bloods done with gabriel the dr said to me - you are only JUST pregnant so lets wait and see... and i panicked big time cause it had been at least 6 weeks since i had let my husband touch me....
anyhoo the moral of that little story is that the blood test results are not accurate - every one is different and so is every baby (i thought i had proved that at least 3 times over now)... BE GLAD YOU GOT A HEARTBEAT FIONA... IT IS GREAT NEWS!!!! i for one am stoked for you. forget the numbers they dont mean diddly squat... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Congrats Fiona!
You do whatever you need to do to reassure yourself, even if that means having a scan every week from now to EDD (whenever that might be!) Stick little one! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I am pleased you have a have your mind reassurred (sp?) with the fetal pole and heart beat.
I wouldn't worry about dates but if it takes another scan to put your mind at ease so be it |

I didn't have a period between the miscarriage and this pregnancy. But, I got a positive test 26 days from the first day of the miscarriage bleeding so figured I must've been on track. Based on when I bled, I'd be 7 weeks tomorrow. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

Ok now here is the thing. I ask questions but it does not mean I am worried. It's so easy to be misunderstood! I am not worried. I was /am just curious.
I like to have full info and know facts, it doesn't mean I am worrying or upset. I have had moments of worry...haven't we all? But I'm feeling fine about it all. I'm very happy about the heartbeat! I'm just curious about how it all works! Maybe 'cause I always wanted to be a doctor and I find the body so interesting. Edited to add that this was a response to another post that has no disappeared??? Odd! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |
