had crampy pains last tuesday, had had them n and off for 4 days but panicked and went to walk in EPU, expected I was 4 to 5 weeks pg, couldn't be sure.
Had bloods, hcg 1225 (or something v similar), told to come back 2 days later for anothe blood test to see of increasing by 66%. However arrived and was sent for internal scan unexpectedly with no proper explnantion as to why, asked about the bloods they said "it's just a number and we'd rather not keep stabbing you if we don't have to" reluctantly agreed to scan (sonographer a bitch, explained nothing). Just a "gestational sac normal for 4 and a half to five weeks". Midwife said "everything is as it should be come back in 2 weeks for another scan". Why wouldn't they just take more bloods, was 1225 too low for dates? is there something they're not telling me?
If so doesn't it mean another possible mc? Have been agonising like mad since last week. Feel pg, sickly and sore boobs v tired but know this means nothing as it could be anembryonic.
cramps have calmed down now but I'm so worried think my hormone levels were quite low and this has frightened me, had mc in sept 08, just want to know what's going on (no blood this time though as yet)
