My GP referred me to the womens health unit 2 days ago because I had spotting (never a flow, never red blood) combined with R sided pain
I kept explaining to the doc at the womens unit that although on the day my dates by LMP were something like 5+3, I was actually 4+0 (based on OV dates, same situation as when I had DS) - he didn't really listen
had bloods taken at 4+0 MY dates (5+3 by LMP dates), the result was 288, doc says this is too low and is a MC
I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light because I don't think the doc listened to me re dates
Is 288 low for 4 weeks EXACTLY or is it low for 5+3 which he is insisting on going by (despite me repeatedly telling him I was 4+0 on the day the bloods were taken), I asked him to clarify what it should be at FOUR weeks, he was vague and said for 4-5 weeks it shoudl be >1000
Thanks! I'm not trying to be in denial if it IS too low for my actual dates, I just want to know if its low for what I REALLY am x
