Hi guys.. A very long story short:
My LMP was 2/12/16, however started quite spotty. I can't for the life of me remember how long it went on for or if it got heavier as I had just changed teams at work and was preoccupied.
I got my BFP on 24/12/16 (Christmas Eve!!) on a FRER and Boots cheapie, which was very clear. By Boxing Day I had a + on a Clearblue digi and two days later it said 2-3 weeks. I would only have been about 3 weeks when I got my first BFP, and I already had symptoms a few days before...
I went to the GP as this is my first ever pregnancy and I had no idea what to do (lol) and he told me to go to the EPU to get a scan to see if I am further along, as my period before was 5/11/16 which would make more sense for the symptoms and very early BFP. (Now I must at that my periods have been like clockwork both on and off contraception since I was 12. Never missed one, never spotted, never late. I was just lucky I guess. However I don't chart or use OPKs as we weren't trying, so it is possible I may have ovulated earlier, however given my periods were always on time, this must have been a freak thing!)
I went to the EPU today and they said going by my LMP they wouldn't scan me unless bloods showed HCG higher than 2500 as 4 weeks or so would be too early to show anything, so sent me for a blood test.
The results came back this afternoon as 3000!
The nurse said this seemed too high for only 4+5 and told me to come in first thing for a scan to check dates before referral to midwives etc.
I was just wondering, from other's experience with HCG levels -
What are the chances I am further along by having a level of 3000, and what are the chances of it being more than one bean?!
