Dear All,
My wife had a HCG bloodtest on 11 Dec 2014. Her initial reading indicated that she is was about 5 weeks pregnant. Another schedule of HCG was fixed on 13 Dec 2014,which is 2 days later. An increment of 80% was revealed on the 2nd test, the norm was a double or more reading, as such we were quite worried. She even indicated that the pregnancy may be an ectopic one.Folic acid were prescribe on the first day of visit as well.
We were referred to a 2nd gynae as the initial one will be on a long holiday.
We went to the 2nd gynae on 15th Dec,there after going thru the previous information, the gynae suggested to do a viginal scan to double check. The scan revealed that the pregnancy is definetly not an ectopic one.Thus, no HCG blood test was done again as its a very obvious scan with positive results. We were so relieved. The next appt is on 26 Dec. Now,it was calculated that my wife is in her 5 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy. She indicated that we may be able to see the baby's heartbeat on the next appt.
On 26 Dec, we went for the scan. This time round, the gynae indicated that there is growth of the sac and yolk size. However,its not growing that fast via a virginal scan. A second look indicated that there is a "blinking" light/shadow on the monitor screen. She indicated that this is a very mild hearbeat,meaning that the baby is not feeding as fast as should be. She further indicated that she dont consider this as a failed pregnancy. Blood pressure , urine test were taken and all is normal.
She further prescribe "progresterone" pills until our next visit which is on 3rd jan 2015.
My wife does not encounter any form of morning sickness or spotting during this whole period. She do feel nauseous at times in the evening and also experience fatigue quite often.
Does anyone have a similiar experience to share? Or is there any advise that will be helpful is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
