Hi i am looking for some advice,
I had a scan on thursday as i had mild cramps on my right hand side it showed a gestational sac measuring around 5-6 weeks and she said she thought she saw a yolk sac but could not confirm. I also had bloods done and my hcg came back as 330 v low but they said if it doubled i might still have a chance so they repeated my blood on Sat it came back as 430 so not going as it should i was devastated but then they said they would have to take more blood tomorrow and they are giving me a scan on friday.
Has anyone went on to have a healthy baby after such a shaky start. My tubes seemed clear so ectopic was ruled out.

Any advice welcome this is my 2nd child but i have been ttc for 2 years.

Hi, I was in the same situation last August 2010, had to go for bloods to be taken every 2 days after the 1st and 2nd my levels were rising but only slightly then the 3rd lot they had decreased so m/c was imminent the next day my m/c started. you do hear of some people going on to have a healthy baby but unfortunately not all. I will keep my fingers crossed for you honey and hope all goes well.xx

Thank you Steph still taking it each week that comes but trying to relax and enjoy it just show if you dont fit into the pattern of doubling every 48hrs does not mean your doctors would like you to think xxx

:( I am so sorry...I hope you are okay and find the strength to get through this terrible time. We are all here to listen if you want to talk >hug

I am so sorry, really thought & hoped things where going right for you!! Take time out for yourself & to grieve, I allowed myself to hide away for week, I couldn't face acting normal & have everyday conversations, (infact it turned into almost 2 weeks as my 15month old daughter got a bug) Now I still cry but I can hold it together when out or with my DD. I am so luckly & grateful to already have a child but she also has got me through the hardest days, partly because she is such a joy but also because I have had to get up & get on with life! My thoughts are with you & I am here if you need anyone to talk too! xxxx
