Oh Mrs Mac, your chart has made me feel a lot better, I was really worrying about my high levels too, I'm sure they were less than 1000 at this stage with my son. Argh I find early pregnancy so stressful! Can't wait for second trimester!

Well I used to get them every week until 11wks when I was pregnant with my son (because of a previous missed miscarriage) and the nurse would call me each week and let me know what they were. This time I just called the nurse myself and asked though. You could do that if you wanted to

Chatz, you could call your MW or GP (depending who ordered the bloods) and ask them for results. I had my bloods done today but don't think I will ask for HCG levels. I did that last time and found this way too stressful. They where on the low side and I needed follow up tests so they could compare.

my GP did my bloods just txt me (I can't hear over the phone) and just said that they're all fine - I might ask my MW tomorrow as she has a copy of them, not that the numbers will mean anything I have no idea of what is good or not lol

ETA - stay, this thread seems to be very quiet .... sure you don't want another one?

Had a tiny tiny amount of brown spotting this morning. Argh, I hate this part so much. Its gone away now so hopefully its just implantation. Getting more bloods today and a scan tomorrow. Although they wont be able to see anything! I think my doctor just wants to see how many are in there! I don't have the twin feeling, know its just one! Hope everyone else is doing good

good luck with the blood tests and scans - imagine if there are twins in there! I heard that brown spotting is usually OK its whe its bright red you can then start to worry - I'm paranoid about bleeding even though my first preg I never did

Good luck for the scan tomorrow. Bleeding in pregnancy sucks, big hugs to you and FX it is nothing!
I bleed lots last time and have had nothing so far this time around which in turn makes me worry just as much 
How is everybody else going? No symptoms other than no period for me but after reading back that was the same for me last time at this stage.

BG, I had brown spotting at this stage last time. I had all the tests etc. and it was all fine. Hope it's the same for you!
Had my first wave of nausea today, but it's gone so I'm hoping it was just the heat!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this pregnancy game as its my first child but I'm already a little confused! I've had one home test and one urine test with the nurse at the doctor which where both positive, just yesterday I've ha my bloods taken hormones and antenatal and the hormone level had come back as being 1-2 weeks?! Is this possible because I've missed this last period was due beginning of the month and had a slight bleed for only two days last month when last months was due so I thought that if they where to take it from the last period id be at least 5-6weeks. We have a scan booked in for next week to get the dates all lined up so here's hoping I'm further than 1-2 weeks! I do have sore boobs (bearable) and a bloated looking tummy by the evening any thoughts ? Would be greatly appreciated! Sorry go the ramble!

Hi. First time in a "due" forum or anything of the sort.
Tested positive yesterday. going by my last period, I would be five weeks today.
Still in shock. I haven't been to the GP yet, trying to get in tomorrow. When would I need to try and find a midwife? I get the impression that it can be hard to find a good one so best to do it early? My old midwife has retired. All this doesn't feel real at all.

Congrats to new posters :-) its very exciting. Sorry Jaimee, no words of wisdom here. The scan will clear up any confusion though.
