Pregnancy Info HOME

I went and got tested on Friday at the hospital and got the news that I am positive yesterday. I was having cramps for the last couple of days...the kind that is like menstrual cramps. The nurse asked to me to go and have a checkup just in case since I had a previous miscarriage. They tried a ultrasound but it's too early to see any just yet. I took a blood test to measure my HCG level and the number is 153. According to the nurse she thinks that t is pretty low, based on my first day of last period she said I should be about 4 weeks pregnant but that number only shows about 2 weeks. I have to go in and take another one tomorrow to see if the levels double by that time. The nurse is trying to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. It is very hard to sit and wait and not know if the pregnancy is ok. My husband and I both want this baby very much. The nurse said that there's a possiblitiy that ther calculations are just not correct on how far along I am or that the pregnacy may just be sluggish in getting the hormones up and just needs some time. But they can't tell anything until they compare my numbers. I hope that everything is ok and that the cramping is normal due to my uterus expanding.
