Dear Sam,

Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy.

As you say, the numbers are difficult to advise as it is what those numbers do next that is crucial.

I completely understand how difficult this time is and how anxious you feel. This is completely normal after we’ve experienced a loss. I think it’s only natural to think the worst, but please hope for the best.

The great news is that you have sought early medical advice and it can be reassuring to know we are being looked after.

With my successful pregnancy after my ectopic pregnancy, my hCG levels were low and they queried another ectopic pregnancy, this was 5 years ago so I’m sorry, I don’t recall the actual numbers. Successful pregnancies do occur with low numbers so please keep thinking positive.

We are all here for you, please continue to use the forums for as long as you need.

Sending much love,

Karen x

Whispered congratulations Sam. I remember you from ttc my Los. Xxx

P.s fabulous hcg increase. Xxx

Hi thanks for they replies

well now im freaking out my hcg 48 hrs after the last was 2727 so again doubling nicely. So I asked one of our consultants to scan me as I work in gynae/epu unit and there was only a very small sac no yolk sac. She thought it looked 5 weeks which is fitting with dates. I just assumed I’d see more. It’s so hard as I regularly scan women very early and usually see yolK sac present too. I did try scanning myself which is actually very difficult lol. Looks like I’m gonna have to wait another week x

The waiting is a killer but your hcg are looking good. Xxx

Hey a wee update had a scan today little bean with strong hb measuring 7+5 kinda feels real now x

That’s great news!

Brill news… Congratulations :wink: x x

Just read this congratulations Sam. Think I need to start working in an epu lol. Wishing you the best with your pregnancy xx

Thanks vikki. It has its benefits lol xx
