Thought I'd do an update for anyone that's interested. EPU called and reminded me that it had been 2 weeks and I had to take a test to make sure it was negative.

Just took said test... It was an immediate, strong positive! Going to EPU tomorrow, absolutely terrified it's an ectopic or something retained - but what if it isn't? I don't even know what to think!.

Thank you so much everyone.

I honestly don't know what to think. I'm trying to stay positive but given the last two weeks, anything can happen. Will definitely update tomorrow morning after scan.
I'm so confused by the fact my bloods went down to 157 thou?! How could I possibly be testing a strong positive over two weeks later?

Thinking of you -fingers and toes crossed

BadgerFace · 02/07/2015 14:51

12 week scan tomorrow so fingers crossed, thanks for asking!

I don't know anything about blood results but really hoping it was a freak low number for you and a happy outcome tomorrow. You deserve it!

Oh wow, I shall be thinking of you, please let me know how it goes Smile

Just spoke to hospital, they said they will need to do a blood test which means I won't have an answer in the morning as they do the results early evening, but I might push for a scan? Just in case, just this once they can see something.
I'm hoping it was just a random number and it started going up without me realising!

This is awesome! Brightened up my day. Congratulations to you and you DP. Wishing you a very uneventful 9 months Flowers

BadgerFace · 02/07/2015 16:40

Yes, I would try and get a scan if I were you wicked. How many weeks do you think you would be? It might be an internal scan so be ready for that (although as you have done IVF in the past you will be an old hand at that!). I am sure they will offer you one in any case given the circumstances.

Here's hoping to your miracle. Smile

worriedmum100 · 02/07/2015 16:40

Hi wicked I would push for a scan. How far along would you be now?

I really hesitate to write this but I had a strong positive 2 weeks after I had an ERPC following a missed miscarriage. It was because of retained 'products' and they were only able to detect that on a scan.

I really hope it's good news for you x

Badgerface I'd be 8 weeks + 5 I think? Going by LMP
Me and internal scans are old chums, fear not but thank you Smile

worriedmum I am worried it might be that tbh, or an ectopic, or a blighted ovum (or anything but a baby Sad) because I only bled very briefly for about an hour after they told me my levels had dropped.Just spoke to them, they said they will need to do a blood test which means I won't even have an answer in the morning :(
All they could see on the last scan was a really thickened womb lining so I expected hell to rush forth when it started, so my first thought was retained product.
Thank you so much for your honesty, it helps to hear different stories and I'm sorry for what you went thru Flowers

What a rollercoaster ride. I hope you get a definitive answer very soon.
