Pregnancy Info HOME

Thanks for your good wishes, Beth. To answer your questions, Cate, we'll hear tomorrow what the Hcg numbers are, I had them drawn on Friday (when we didn't see anything on ultrasound). Again, my dr. was pretty chill about the whole thing. When my husband asked what percentage of 6 weekers don't see a sac, he really kind of shrugged it off, saying, "we like to see a sac and better a heartbeat," but we'll have to wait until the numbers come back. I'm not hopeful..mostly because I keep spotting (very slightly when I wipe), and also because my breasts arent' as tender and I don't pee as much as I did last week. I am scheduled for an ultrasound next Thursday (I would be 7 weeks), but if the numbers are down, I'll probably just skip it. By the way, I've heard your HCG needs to be at least around 1000 for vaginal ultrasound to show anything. Anyway, I know it's hard, it's sad, it's really, really scary and the waiting is dreadful. And Beth, it's important to know the numbers are doubling every few days...that's more imp. then what the actual number is (within reason). How many weeks are you?
