Hi Ladies,
Here goes, I'm currently 5 + 2 pregnant, this is my fourth pregnancy and i have no children. I had 2 miscarriages last year, one at 6 weeks and one at 9 weeks.
This time I've been referred straight to St Marys by my GP and they started 48 hours HCG tests, results as follows:
Thursday - 272
Saturday - 473 Rise of 72%
Monday 712 Rise of 50%
Monday night at 9pm the midwife rang and kept saying she was 'so sorry' but my levels hadn't gone up enough, the pregnancy was pretty definitely not viable and they would scan me at 11am Wednesday. My partner and i were beside ourselves after the trauma of last year, I spent the entire night sobbing. Tuesday morning my partner said I simply couldn't stay in that state another day and we went to the hospital where they did a scan.
The sonographer was incredible and so informative, she said she was only expecting to see a sac at this stage and was checking it was in my uterus. She saw it exactly as she expected but said that didn't totally rule out ectopic as if it was that a phantom sac could be in my uterus so she would check tubes too. Before she went to do that she made a surprised 'oh!' and said there was second sac!!!! We came away completely relieved and confused. They did say not to get excited as the pregnancy could still be failing or the second sac could disappear.
The midwife said she would also put me in touch with the early loss specialist which angered me as I haven't lost it! this lady rang me last night and I asked her outright if she had ever seen a viable pregnancy where the second rise was 50% and she said no. The bottom fell out my world and I was hysterical on the phone.
In the meantime I have enormous painful boobs, heartburn and nausea and am so tired I fell asleep at my desk today. I work where they convert army trucks and it is LOUD!!!!
Do you think the hospital have simply repeatedly given me worst case scenario because of my history? I genuinely feel everything is ok, its not just misplaced hope.
We are back for a scan at 3.45pm on Tuesday which feels like decades away!
I would really really appreciate some thoughts on this, i am genuinely going right out of my mind. I left work today as I simply could not stop crying, luckily my bosses are being incredibly understanding.
