Morning girls!
Still in hospital, didn't have the op yesterday.
Yesterday was bloody mental.
The hospital told me to come in and have the op, mil is a doctor so she basically told me I was mental for not doing it. My mum came and picked me up and brought me here and as I was last on the list for the op (7pm) I ended up talking to lots of different consultants about my thoughts, bombarded them with loads (millions!) of questions.
The main cause for concern with them are my hcg numbers! The fact that the doubling times are slow (they call it a sub optimal rise) but what they are adamant about is that with my numbers you should see more on a scan..
However with both my previous pregnancies I've had through the roof hcg and got dates a few days behind as well.
Also according to lots of gynae books hcg follows this pattern. Below 1200, 48-72 hours doubling, over 1200 72 -96 hours doubling and over 6000 96 hours or more. I've followed this pattern.
For example Lottie's hcg was 30000 at 6 weeks and she measured 5+2 and had a yolk sac that day.
Charlie's hcg was 32000 at 6+1 and his scan showed heartbeat and fetal pole at 6+2.
What I hadn't realised was the sonographer that scanned me on Friday was a consultant I knew from my Charlie labour. I remembered her straight away yesterday and she said she'd scan me this morning.
My usual consultant is in today too so the plan is that I have a scan and then take it from there.
The aim of scan is to see the yolk sac is to rule out the pregnancy being elsewhere.
A big part of me has written this pregnancy off but if you look at the hcg numbers them I'm on par with Charlie's and Lottie's pregnancies.
It's the doubling times that are the issue but I didn't have as many later betas with them.
My usual consultant knows me and I'm sure will tell me straight if he thinks I should have the lap.
I think I'll be incredibly lucky to see something on the scan so wish me luck!!

Hope your scan on Mon goes well.
