BFP Insight Please!!!

I don't really have any symptoms at all and don't feel pregnant. I just had a feeling that I should test on what I thought was cd3 before taking clomid again. It came up with a positive so I was pretty shocked as my period was completely normal.

I then googled and found out that this can often happen with ectopics so I have been quite worried that is what mine is. I have also hear stories of women having normal periods and then ending up with a baby (like atomic) so I am trying to be cautiously optimistic too.

It may just be too early to see anything too. They should have a better idea of how far along you are when you get the hcg levels back. Are they doing repeat hcg in a few days?

No they are not repeating. My doctor said I am 4 weeks 3 days now but thats based on my LMP of June 11. This is all so crazy.

Maybe you ovulated early in the cycle and you are only about 4 weeks. What test did you use? It will be interesting to hear what your levels are.

I got my HCG levels back. It was 361 which means the gestational age of the babe is 1-2 weeks i believe. Not sure what the means in terms of if there is a problem or what tho.

Congrats on the BFP and I hope everything works out for a sticky, healthy bean. I thought HCG could vary quite a bit and that's why it was important to do two tests to see how the numbers climb? Could you ask your doc to do two tests so you aren't stuck in limbo? :/

They need to do a repeat HCG, one test is not enough to tell you anything.

Most of the time with bleeding it is not ectopic. I know it's nervewracking but the vast majority of the time it's placenta previa or an SCH both of which can go on to resolve themselves.

[Nessa84]

I did the test today and my levels were 796. What does this mean? Two days ago they were 361.

[Erin514]

That's good! They're supposed to double every two days!

[Burakoam]

The doubling is good news and IMO you probably ovulated around CD 14 even though the tests said low fertility...it makes sense with your hcg and test saying 2-3 weeks. congratulations again...H&H 9 months!!!

[purple]

That is good doubling. You probably just ovulated earlier than you thought.

The pain would not start this early if it was ectopic so it must be something unrelated. Sorry if I scared you, it is just something on my mind at the moment.
