Is this just me seeing what I want to see.....positive??

[Thebean123]

Sorry to be another crazy "am I pregnant" person but I just don't know wether I'm seeing something that isn't there.......can anyone else see the extremely faint line that looks darker at the top and bottom or is it just me??? Please help! And thanks in advance for honesty :)

See I keep getting and reading conflicting "normal" hgc ranges. I wish this bloody nightmare would stop I really do. This being in limbo is literally killing me. I feel like the last few days I have come to terms with the fact that I will be losing a baby I very much want and crave......and now I have a sneaky hope that this all could just be a nightmare for no reason.

Roll on f***g Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Op, I don't know what your doctor is playing at- it is far too early with those results to call it just like that.

I may have missed it but why are you having bloods taken?

Please let us know how you get on this coming week, I really think there is SO much hope left, please don't think it's over yet xx

Well she took my blood the day after 2 positive frer tests (Wednesday) and it was 25. Took it again on Friday to check it was rising and it was 42. I was told by a different dr at the surgery that it was fine. The original and MY dr then called me this Monday and said it wasn't fine and she was expecting to see results in the 1000's. She then said she would take more blood in a weeks time so that is this coming Monday. To see the levels getting lower like she has predicted I guess x

Sorry, I meant why did she take bloods in the first place? X

FREE has a sensitivity of about 15. A hcg of 25 the next day is a decent and normal rise. A hcg of 42 2 days later is a decent and normal rise. I would go with the first doctors opinion for now. I see no cause for alarm based on the blood tests.

It's very odd to do bloods so early because the normal range is so wide. Hopefully by Tuesday you'll be a bit reassured.

Oh sorry......she said she doesn't know why she jumped straight to blood tests.....she must have had an inkling or a feeling things weren't right based on how faint my home pregnancy kits were.

I would love to still have some hope but I feel like I have way less "pregnancy symptoms" now too. My boobs feel less sore, I'm not as tired etc. But all of that may be psychosomatic and in my head.

I had the light tests and I had something called a blighted ovum BUT taking that negative story away, my friend had something very very similar and she'd just got the ovulation dates wrong and she is now VERY pregnant and all is well. I know it's hard (especially from me, where it went tits up) But there ARE plenty of happy stories from this.

Well I won't know anything until Tuesday afternoon so wish me luck.....and until then I will stay level headed and prepare for the worst and hope for the best :) x

Sorry I don't have any advice but I just want to wish you all the best wishes Bean.

Op, faint tests are so normal. My faint tests for ds looked the same as my prior mc and ectopic.

I'm going to cross everything for you and come back to check in.

Thinking of you, but I think she's given you unnecessary worry. And I genuinely mean that. When I knew I was on the cusp of miscarriage I poured over the Internet to find hope. Any tiny shred, and I led myself down a hurtful path. Even though I should have known better- my levels were falling. There was pain and blood and scans, but still i hoped.

From the information you gave I really think you've nothing to worry about at all. Best of luck

Just a little update.....the week wait from hell was over thismorning and I went into the Drs for more blood testing. Dr said she will call me tomorrow and discuss the results. Worst case scenario will be low levels no growth and a trip to the EPU for induced miscarriage.

I have resigned myself to the fact that my pregnancy is not viable but either way now I just want to know. It's the unknown that's the worst x

Keeping my fingers crossed for you

I have everything crossed for you.

Keeping fingers, toes and everything crossed for you OP. Been through this twice and I know how much it hurts but if it gives you any hope, I've also had two successful pregnancies straight after. Let us know how you get on - look after yourself tonight x

Hi OP. Just wanted to say that your doctor sounds a little overzealous. From my experience and what I've seen on here most GPs and very much 'congratulations, book in with the midwife in 8 weeks or so'

I don't understand why she'd be messing you about with bloods etc so early on. Pregnancy such a natural and unpredictable process.. You sort of have to just trust your body in the early weeks and have a little faith. I worry that she's going to make you into a very anxious pregnant person and worse case scenario if you lose this pregnancy, undermine your confidence for next time!!

Sorry meant to add- best of luck for tomorrow's results, be nice to yourself this evening xx

I really hope tomorrow is good news x

Fingers crossed for you

Thank you ladies :) have been taken out for dinner by DP and am curled up in bed now with a cup of tea, some Victoria sponge and my fave Yankee candle burning......early and cosy night for me. Will check in tomorrow xxx

Sending and really hope everything's ok.

Well the doctor has called me. And I honestly don't think that I can take much more of this!

I was promised a final answer one way or another and she can't give me one. My levels have risen to 300 something. Can't quite remember what number she said. But her point was that it wasn't high enough to scan but had risen. Apparently the hospital answered her question of "is this likely to be a viable pregnancy?" With "unlikely.....but not impossible".

So I have to wait ANOTHER week in heartbreaking and agonising hell without knowing wether I will 100% miscarry. I said to her "well maybe my body is just slower than most people" and her reply was "don't cling onto that hope too much though...." Her opinion is obviously still that this isn't going to end well and she doesn't want me to be too upset or devastated.

I did ask her wether she thought they would have risen or stayed around the 40 mark and she admitted that she thought they would have stayed around 40.

Sorry for the rambling post.....but again I pretty much am in the dark as to what's going on inside my own body. I just really really really needed to know what was going to happen. I kind of wish I was none the wiser to any of this. But I do know. And can't un know this now. It's going to be another VERY long and stressful week.

So sorry you're going through this. I don't know if I've read this wrong but your levels were 42 on the 23rd and they're now 300 on the 25th? That's more than doubled! Is there anything else happening that is making your GP so adamant things are going wrong?

She is right about the scan though. I think they need levels at about 1500 from memory.

I don't think your GP knows what she is talking about.

4DC here and HCG tests with all of them. Those levels sound fine!

This is very stressful for you. All three of your hcg numbers are consistent with doubling every 72 hours, so again all is not lost, though I must say that if you're around 6 weeks 300something does seem very low :( here's hoping the week doesn't drag too badly and that you get a definitive answer soon
