Yesterday I started having cramps about 6pm....not so painful as periods cramps but only on my right side.
No other symptoms and otherwise well...
I went to epu today and because I am 6+2 they dod some blood tests and told me to come home. They thought that at 6+2 a heartbeat might not showed in a scan and I would stress even more...
The epu phoned tonight and told me to book a scan tomorrow and that the hcg result was 5163...
Should I be worried???
Can it be ectopic with that result??
Ps I am 41..

Fantastic news Notsoold, I'm sure you are thrilled after a difficult 2 weeks

Just read this thread for the first time - so pleased for you notsoold!! Brilliant news.

SunshineOutdoors · 07/03/2013 12:19

Hi, I just read this thread feeling sad and I'm so happy to read your last post. I bet you are too! Good luck with your pregnancy, I hope all goes well for you

notsoold · 07/03/2013 11:14

Just an update...
I had another scan today and they found the fetal pole with a heartbeat.
Everything measuring around 6 weeks instead of my almost 8 but I was told not tp worry..
:) very happy!!!! Early days I know but I am very happy!!!
Thank you for holding my hand!

notsoold · 28/02/2013 22:10

Beckie....thank you! I need as many finfers crossed as possible. The fact that they told me the gestacional sac was 12mm ( about 6weeks) and yolk sac but no fetal pole is concerning...
It put either the pregnancy back or ( much worse... Not a viable pregnancy.
I am preparing myself for the worst, not because I am giving up on this pg, but because when I asked if it might be ok and if I got my dates wrong, she said "yes ....but it is more certain that it is not going to be a viable pregnancy....
Hope she is wrong!!!
I am glad you had a good result :)

Daft phone, was meant to finish, fingers crossed for you xx

beckie90 · 28/02/2013 21:26

So sorry goosey :(

Notsoold, just wanted to say, my pregnancy at 5+4 was only showing a sac no yolk or anything, they obviously thought the worse, went back 12 days later and there was a baby with a heartbeat. Finger

notsoold · 28/02/2013 17:12

Goosey.... I am so sorry.... Take care of yourself... Xxx

goosey123 · 28/02/2013 13:15

Thanks for asking notsoold. I wish I could post some positive uplifting news, but unfortunately it hasn't worked out for me this time. The scan showed no development. In a way it has helped having the 2 weeks to prepare myself, and I'm still really glad I had those positive stories to cling on to. I really hope you are doing OK with the awful wait x

notsoold · 27/02/2013 15:13

goosey how did it go today???

chairman thank you....to be truthful I am trying to keep calm ( if not positive about a happy outcome) but without success....
For sure it will be a long week ....xxx

ChairmanWow · 27/02/2013 07:40

I'm so sorry for all the worry you're going through notso. Please try not to worry too much about your symptoms - I've always found with my pregnancies that you get days when they seem to have eased off and days when they feel stronger.

Will be thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed for a strong, healthy heartbeat.

notsoold · 27/02/2013 00:46

Thank you all....
1500 you are absolutely right ...my hope is in tatters....

havingalittle honey thank you... Xxx

Icanonly thank you for sharing your story. Please do you mind telling me if your symptoms continued during the wait? Your story is a balm to me, although I must confess that I am so disheartened and have cried pretty much all evening.
Even my symptoms disappeared and that reinforces the thought that everything is going downhill... ( sorryfor the pessimism...)

goosey good luck tomorrow hun..
Fx for you. I hope tomorrow to be more optimistic.... Did you keep your symptoms???

goosey123 · 26/02/2013 20:46

I know how hard the 2 week wait is, I have my re scan tomorrow after a scan 2 weeks ago showed 4 to 5 week sac, when my LMP put me at 7 weeks. Although I think I've remained realistic about what I will hear tomorrow , stories like the previous poster (sorry can't remember name, on phone..) have helped me get through. I started a similar thread 2 weeks ago about no heartbeat at 7 weeks, and so many people posted positive stories. It stopped me completely despairing. All the best x

Icanonlytry · 26/02/2013 20:32

I went through the same, suspected ectopic, I thought I was 7-8 weeks but although the yolk sac could be seen there was no visible fetal pole or heartbeat so I was either only 4-5 weeks or pregnancy was not viable, had to go back 10 days later for another scan where ds could be seen clearly, strong, healthy heartbeat and was measuring 7+2 so although I was not as far as I originally thought baby had grown quickly in the 10 days.
I know how awful the wait is and how easy it is to fear the worst but I hope my story helps you see that the scan today does not mean it is definitely bad news, ds is now 20 months and full of mischief fun.

honey86 · 26/02/2013 20:22

aww hunni massive hugs and fx for your scan xx
