congrats

hey hon, ur digital sounds about right then, if its been 4 weeks since ur last then the digi shows 1-2 weeks since conception, thats what mine said when I was late for

honey please stop testing though coz u will stress yourself out. all sorts of things can affect how dark your line is especially how much you drink and pee beforehand. I understand you will be more worried than the average pregnancy with your risk of ectopic but try your hardest to relax, speak to your doc and take it from there.
I am praying for a sticky bean for u hon xxx

3+ on a digi is excellent for 4w5d...it would normally say 2-3 weeks. And the superdrug ones werent that faint imho!

It's all looking good

I know the worry you feel after an ectopic, having had one myself last September, but I hope and pray it is all just perfect for you this time.

I agree with Tashalina. That sounds very right to where you should be. Congrats. Get some bloods done if you are worried and just relax. There's a baby in there, stress and worry isnt good!!

Well the saga continues. I called yesterday to make a doc appointment and the doc answered and told me a letter to get Bloods done would be at the surgery for me. I went to the surgery, collected the letter and made my way to the hospital. Here I was told results would be ready the following day. Today I had the doctors receptionist call and tell me there would be a letter to get an ultrasound done. I asked if I needed it today and she said as soon as possible. As I am 4w 5d I am well aware there is a very high chance there is nothing they will see on the scan.
I asked the receptionist to tell me the hCG number and she said "oh your pregnant!" I wanted so say "yeah hun I know- I want to know the figure to understand my risk of another ectopic. The Doctor came out and said that it was early and she wasnt sure if Obs would take me and I would have to go down- what kind of SOP is that?

The scan was ticked to be at Obs and gyn department which concerned me as I thought it would be at the EPU- hence me asking if I was required to go now as at 1pm I knew it would be closed . I went along to O and G (9-5 opening times) and the receptionist said she cant book me in until 12 weeks!? I explained my history and she spoke to someone senior to her and they said 'No' plain and simple, if was not exhibiting any symptoms they wouldnt see me!!!!! i was gobsmacked not to mention furious! I call my surgery and the receptionist there speaks to the doctor and she says 'if they wont do a scan THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO"???? err WTF!!!

I then suggest the EPU and the receptionist KINDLY informs me I can try them. I thought it was their job to do this NOT MINE!

I didnt get a scan done. Have to go to the EPU tomorrow but the receptionist there hardly glanced at my forms so I am sure the tick for obs and gyn will cause problems tomorrow and I will be sent home again. Seriously- is this how person at risk of a serious condition is treated?

I am so angry and disappointed that we are not taken seriously. I would have thought a risk was something they would listen to but unless we are bleeding or in pain they dont want to know.

So annoyed right now- I dont know what else to say.

Oh and I forgot to actually tell you my FMU with a digital said pregnant 1-2 and I had a hCG of 61 from yesterdays bloods.

Hun, that's awful the way you were treated

I would probably be a bit naughty and say I was having some pains in one side or something...just to get a scan...

Thanks NightKD
I think I may say that when I get to the EPU tomorrow- assuming the snow stays away!
