pregnancy blood tests
hello
i had a scan on 4th april and dr couldnt see anything ( i had done a hpt and was negative but period was 6 weeks late). dr said to do a blood test to make sure and the result came back positive (reading of 13mls). I repeated the test 48 hours later and it went up to 40. I then went on holiday for a week and had another blood test which came backk with a reading of 7000.
Dr then did an internal ultrasound. She could see the pregnancy sac, yolk sac andd placenta but couldnt locate the fetal pole. I had another blood test on thursday which came back at 20,000 and then one yesterday which has come back at just over 30,000. dr said that the numbers should be doubling every 48 hours. When i have looked online it says every 48-72 hours.
I now have to wait until 7th may for another scan!!
I dont know what to think....are the numbers going up enough? if they arent why not? will she see anything at the next scan? i dont really know how many weeks i am!
Has anyone else been through this and could shed any light on the numbers or just give me your experiences.
thanks (i have a feeling this is going to be the longest 10 days of my life!)
