Just wondered if anyone has any experience/knowledge/reassurance.
I am currently 6w2d pregnant. I have been worried about my HCG levels since I found out I was pregnant. My lines were very faint (but progressive) which then confirmed by digital test. I was obsessed with making sure the lines got darker until the brand I was using sold out and I couldn't get it from anywhere else.
Because I was worried I saw a suggestion to use a weeks indicator test and test a week apart to see if the weeks went up. I tested at 4w6d exactly and got 2-3 (about right) but I tested a week later, and at 6+1 and still getting 2-3.
Yesterday I had an early scan as midwife referred me as I was getting pain only on one side and they wanted to check for ectopic (which is also associated with low HCG)
The scan found the sac and yolk sac and she said everything was in the right place. She took measurements and said all looks normal which is reassuring, but she said I was only exactly 6 weeks there was no fetal pole or heartbeat to see yet. I have another appointment for 2 weeks time.
So my question is, would everything look normal if everything looked OK?
Because of low HCG do I need to be seriously worried that the fetal pole will not show up? Would I have a normal looking sac/yolk sac at this stage if my HCG was low?
Sorry but my anxious mind is in overdrive. Just don't want to give myself a glint of happiness if there it is unlikely. I know mot much can change the outcome but a 2 week wait might finish me off!
Thanks for reading the long post x
