Since Sunday I managed to make it all through Monday, couch bound without any spotting! I was very happy with myself! I went to see the GP and advised of my Sunday spotting and asked for another two HCG tests. I also got my scan with my FS brought forward from next week to this Friday when I should be 6 weeks 6 days and am praying for a healthy heartbeat!
In the early hours of this morning at approx 3am I got up to go to the loo and had a light brownish discharge when I wiped. Needless to say my husband and I found it very hard to go back to sleep, worried that it was the start of more bleeding, so I had today off work as well - couch bound.
I had my HCG test this morning at 8.30am and called for the results this afternoon. The reading was 30 866. Which at first made my heart sink because it was my understanding that the results are meant to double every 48hrs meaning my results should have been over 70 000.
My husband decided to use a online HCG calculator where we got some reassuring results that as the pregnancy develops the HCG levels slow down. For example when your reading is over 6000 the HCG level may take 4 or more days to double. This calculation puts me right on track with my result.
I am still taking it one day at a time, just happy to make it through another day - hopefully still being pregnant. I can't wait til Friday for the scan to know one way or another.
Who would have thought being pregnant would be so scary!
