1st Trimester

intro. please help my nerves

This is my 3rd pregnancy. Based on my last period, I should be 5w3d. I had a very small amount of blood when I urinated yesterday. I called my regular doctor to discuss it with her, I don't see my OB for 3 more weeks. She ordered an ultrasound and bloodwork this morning. From the ultrasound they determined that I am not 5w3d but haven't gotten the blood test results back to have more of idea where I might be. Also, I have had a feeling  that I am carrying twins. There were two obvious places on the ultrasound that looked like it could be two potential babies but the technician only referred to one as the baby and said "I'm not sure about this spot but I will have the radiologist look at it". I know she has to let the radiologist look over the scans and give the results but I am flipping out a little. I want to know if it's twins or not and how far along I am!

  • Are they doing a second blood draw for comparison? Just curious because at this stage of pregnancy the u/s is the best way to determine how far along you are.

    FWIW, the u/s tech was the one who told us we were having twins. It was something they didn't consider diagnostic so she was allowed to say that much to us. We had the u/s at what we thought was 9wks to verify EDD (I wasn't charting and my cycles were irregular after DD's birth) and discovered I was only 6wks along with twins. It was pretty easy to see the two babies and their yolk sacs.

    Best wishes for your pregnancy and I hope you get some answers soon.

  • I had my beta levels checked last week to confirm pregnancy so I guess that is what she is comparing them to
