Ok so if you haven't seen my 1st ultrasound pix check 'em out!!

My Doc. sent me for an HCG Count to make sure Im ok and that the baby is ok... and she wanted to make sure that the spot on my ultrasound.. the black spot wasn't anything bad.... so she checked my levels on Friday and they were 113,106 and then sent me to the hospital on Sunday to check again and it was 161,139.... so they didn't DOUBLE.. BUT they went up a lot.. which is good!!.. isn't it??? Anyway... Shes going to give me another ultrasound tomorrow... so I should know more...

Let me know what you girls think of this??? This is so new to me.... not quite sure how the HCG Count works really..

Thanks!!

that sounds really good hun

Thanks Jo! I hope it is really good! haha

congrates all the best

If I remember right they said they don't have to double but would like to see them go up around 60% of first blood count when we had the ectopic (which didn't even get past 400 btw).

Looks good. Whats the next step?

Oh they also say not every woman will experience doubling hCG levels.

Thanks Wobbles... you truly are the best.. I think so.. yup! haha

Next step is to have another ultrasound done tomorrow which is my next appointment... HOPEFULLY this black spot went away... or decreased or SOMETHING positive!!!... and I hope the babys heartbeat went up a bit... but I'm not sure how much can change within 4 days??? so I will find out more tomorrow!!!

My appointment is at 2:45pm... remember... I live in Connecticut so its EST (Eastern Standard Time)

Good luck x

Sounds like everything is looking good! Good luck with the US tomorrow!

Thanks holldol!

I found this in the American Pregnancy Association site:

Key things to remember about hCG levels:

* In a bout 85% of normal pregnancies, the hCG level will double every 48 - 72 hours. As you get further along in pregnancy and the hCG level gets higher, the time it takes to double can increase to about every 96 hours.



Also your levels were in the range of where they should be at 7 weeks =)
