Pregnancy Info HOME

I am so glad I found this thread. My heart goes out to all of you. I am in the same boat. My LMP was 12/9. First positive HPT was 1/11 and second one was 1/22. On 1/28, I had a tiny amount of bleeding. I called my OB and they scheduled me for an U/S and bloodwork that same day. Abdominal U/S was inconclusive so they did a vaginal. Good news is they found a yolk sac as well as a fetal pole - measurements indicated 5w5d gestation... no HB but still could be early. I thought I was two weeks further along but figured maybe I ovulated late. Got the HCG results on 1/29, they were 13,885. Dr. had them repeated on 1/30; results came in yesterday at 15,670 - not the double the dr. would have liked but increasing none the less. Had additional bloodwork done yesterday and just got results - again, not a double but still increasing - I'm at 19,356. Dr. wants me to come in tomorrow and see her. Bleeding has completely stopped - it was just that little bit on 1/28. Went to my OB on 1/29, she did an internal and there was no blood and the cervix was closed. Should I be concerned about the slow rise in the numbers.. I think they are still in line with where they should be considering how far along I am. Any insight would be great - this is my first pregnancy so I don't know what to think.
