Newbie/Intro and HCG concerns...

LongIslandMama1114

Hey all. I'm new to this group so this is also an introduction.

The first date of my LMP was Feb 13th. According to the app I use to track my period, I ovulated March 1st. On March 10th, I had a feeling I was pregnant and took a test. Instant positive at 5:45pm that night and it wasn't a faint line either. So happy! I have Factor V Leiden blood disorder and a history of miscarriage so I went to the doctor immediately. 1st set of beta hcg testing was 1 day before missed period and it was 706. 2nd set of testing was done 1 day after period was due and was 1979.

Just wondering what everyone thinks? I'm 2 months off of birth control so I'm a little nervous about multiples lol

Those look like good numbers to me. You should look for doubling in 48-72 hours as opposed to any one number by itself.

Hello......two things first. 

1. An app generally cannot accurately predict ovulation, only temping and charting can.

2. Also, if you question people who HAVE multiples, you will find that betas have a wide range, and don't determine singletons or multiples. Don't freak out yet.

Hello all,

This is my first time posting to a Baird and I am very nervous. Any info/suggestions would help.

My lmp was 1/28 so my due date was calculated for 11/4 which would put me right around 7 weeks. I also used an app to calculate ovulation, which now I know isn't that accurate. This is my third pregnancy; 1st one no problems. 2nd miscarriage with complications. Before my d&c's my hcg levels were decking in extremely slowly, it was like my body wouldn't recognize the miscarriage. Had to have two d&c on account of me continuing to bleed for a total of 3 months! Needless to say I am very nervous about this pregnancy. On to the stats for this pregnancy (sorry if I'm rambling)

I had an u/s on 3/11 that showed no embryo just gestational sac and yolk sac. Hcg taken that same day was 8968. Dr ordered follow up hcg on 3/13 it came in at 8956, the nurse did tell me that I was very dehydrated when they took the second hcg and I have read that sometimes that can affect the results. Third hcg taken on 3/17 and it went up to 12000!? So confusing! Had an ultrasound yesterday that showed no change from first one but she did measure the sac (I think that's what they measure) at 5w6d. Haven't gotten the official results from that u/s yet so I'm just waiting on news.

Could I have ovulated later then I thought? Is it a miscarriage? I'm scared to have to get a d&c again because of what happened last time.

The wait is killing me and I was hoping to get a little bit of piece of mind, one way or another, by turning to fellow moms.

Thanks again!
