Anyone had hcg done at 10wks approx?

[baby.3]

So here's the back story. I called the community midwife last week's after suffering with tummy pains and loss of symptoms. I was basically told as there is no bleeding that I had to wait it out or ask the gp to do a beta blood test. So in my panic I went to the gp and the nurse agreed to do the bloods last Friday. Got the call from the surgery today asking me to come in to see the gp. He wasnt very reassuring and couldn't understand why the midwife had told me to come in at this stage. Either way he told me my levels where at 94,000 and offered me a repeat test this Friday. He basically said that levels at this stage can either remain the same or even decline slightly but said that if there was a dramatic decline it could indicate an impending loss. In my blur of hearing all this I forgot to ask what he thought of the levels, whether they where OK for my gestation. So I've looked online and they seem kinda in the middle of all the ranges I've see charted.

Just wondering if anyone had had a similar experience? Xxx

Sorry hunni no idea but sounds like good numbers x x I'd definitely do the retest. Can they not get you an early scan xx

 

[baby.3]

No they won't scan me. I just keep getting told that unless I start bleeding I need to sit tight and hold on for my 12wk scan. Which is on the 22nd...just feels like a life time away. I could buy a reassurance scan, but I'm so nervous that baby will have stopped growing and I'll have paid someone to tell me my baby has died

Baby even though 10 days doesn't seem long away when you are driving yourself crazy then it is a very long time to wait. I would personally have to buy a scan as i would want to know what was going on.
I hope its good news hun in whatever you decide to do xx

baby3, firstly, I’m sorry you’ve had this panic! It sounds very stressful!
However, I’m sure the doctor would have told you at the time if he was concerned about your levels - those numbers sound high to me!!
Just remember that a happy mum = happy baby so if you think that getting a private scan would eliminate some of the stress and worry and give you some reassurance then I would 100% do it - it’s not worth worrying and stressing yourself and the baby over! Wishing you all the best xxx

I'm sorry you're going through this. I don't have any experience but those numbers do sound high and I'd like to believe the doctor would have stated if he was worried about them.

I think you've got a few options if they won't scan you
-wait til the scan you've got booked but potentially stress yourself silly while you wait which is totally understandable
-get the repeat bloods done on Friday if you think that seeing increasing numbers will give you the reassurance you need
-pay for a private scan if you know that the only way to settle your anxiety would be to see that heartbeat on the screen

I know if I was feeling that anxious, I'd pay for the scan. I think I'd need to know one way or the other and that would be the fastest way to an answer as well.

Loss of symptoms is normal at 10 times weeks because your hormone levels are dropping/stabilising. Your HCG levels are normal for 10 weeks. I think youve got no reason to worry and are fine to wait until the 12 week scan but if it's really upsetting you, pay for the private scan. x

Thank you ladies for all your advice.

I've decided to book a private scan for tomorrow. I need to know one way or another and sooner rather than later otherwise I'll drive myself insane.

I think the problem is that my last viable pregnancy I suffered so badly with sickness and with my mmc there was barely any symptoms at all. This pregnancy seems to be mimicking the mmc in terms of very little to no symptoms. I just expected to feel as rough as hell if it was a viable pregnancy.

I know I shouldn't compare pregnancies as everyone is different to the last but its really hard not too.

Can't you get someone else to go with you tomorrow as you really want to put your mind at rest?


I'm sure all is fine, if your levels are in the middle of normal range. x

 

[baby.3]

Aw Baby3 so sorry to hear you’re going through this stress but I agree with what others have said, if the GP was worried then he’d have said. Good luck for tomorrow and I can’t wait to see your lovely scan

Baby how did your scan go??
Really hope it was good news xx

Hey!

Sorry for the delay, its been a crazy few hours. Got stuck in traffic on the way to the clinic, then stuck in traffic on the way home. By the time I got home and relieved my sister of babysitting duties it was time to put little one to bed!

Anyway, you was all right. All my stress and worry was for nothing. Little one is still happily in there growing away nicely. Measuring a little ahead at 11.5 - 11.6wks. His/her heart was beating away at 161bpm and placenta is shaping up nicely. It's right out the way at the back so she thinks in another couple of weeks and I should be able to feel little movements as its my 3rd pregnancy. I'll be honest, I've no idea what's baby and what's gas so I won't hold my breath for early movements lol.

Anyway thanks for all the advice ladies. Turns lack of symptoms don't always mean the worse xxx
