HCG draw 21 (3 weeks + 5 days)

Did anyone else have a number similar to this at this stage and go onto have a healthy pregnancy? I’ve only received the result and don’t see my Dr until tomorrow. Feeling nervous.

anything over 5 is fine I think especially because you aren’t even 4 weeks yet… you should get another one when you’re around 5-6 weeks. that’s when it’s easier to tell in my opinion

thank you for replying! Feeling very anxious over here!

yeah i completely understand!! my HCG wasn’t doubling like it was supposed to and im now almost 21 weeks pregnant 😳 so I say don’t stress until you’re further along and get a better HCG result. everyone is different when it comes to this, some will have higher HCG and some will have lower, but it isn’t always a bad thing:) try to push those bad thoughts out🩷

That’s true. Everyone’s body is different. Thank you for reassuring me. I feel much better after talking to you. Don’t you wish you could just see into your uterus 😂😂 congratulations on your pregnancy 🤰

my mum is a nurse in the UK. They don’t even test your HCG. As long as you’ve got a positive home test they book you in for a scan at 8 weeks! That would be lovely, I’ll do that ☺️

I’ve heard some girlys in the UK tell me about that. I couldn’t even IMAGINE not knowing. im such an over thinker, I couldn’t do it😭

I'm from the UK, we don't get a scan at 8 weeks unless we pay for one privately / at a non-medical scan shop. We get one at 12 weeks. It's really weird how it's different in different countries isn't it. I got jealous of people in America early on because you seem to get scans earlier on and can get reassurance on HCG tests too, but it seems like that's not always reassuring either!

Best of luck to you, I hope everything goes well xx

thanks for clarifying that. 12 weeks is a long time to wait! Did you have any tests done before that?

Same to you 😀

Avatar

That's OK, it does get booked at 8 weeks it's then just a long 4 week wait!

No we don't typically have any tests before then. Xx

My first Hcg was 20 and now i am 21 weeks today 😊

how is your pregnancy going? I found out I was pregnant about 2 weeks after conception. I’m worried that my HCG levels aren’t doubling as they say they should every 48 hours. Roughly, I’m not even a month yet

Labour pains what do the feel like

Am really struggling this evening to tell if am in early labour or not! I’m actually booked in for induction tomorrow m.
I’ve had baby’s before but only suffered back labour never pains in the belly but tonight am having pains across the front low down lasting a good few seconds and like shooting pain up my vag, my whole belly goes solid during the time and it actually takes my breath and I can’t move until it passes braxton hicks or start of Labour?

Birthday

So idk if this would be considered bd drama, but he just texted me “happy birthday” my birthday isn’t until April 20th, we’ve known each other since 2024. And I just feel a little sad that he doesn’t know my birthday. Should I appreciate that he tried? Or be upset that after all this time he still doesn’t know my birthday?

Changed due date

Anyone had their date change at 12 weeks scan?

I used my last period and also fully tracked ovulation, I had a due date Oct 10.

In my 12 week scan they said Oct 15

Now I don’t know which to use as I know the 12 week scan can place things wrong due to the tiniest millimetre off measurement

What did others go by and what was accurate?

Second baby here!

Damp pants.. can your waters go incredibly slowly lol

Or did I pee 😅

I woke up this morning with a damp patch in my undies that I noticed when I pulled my pants up after a wee.. I did smell it and it doesn’t smell like wee and I got my husband to smell (lol) and it didn’t smell like wee to him either but I’m also very hydrated...

I have sat over the toilet and nothing is dripping out of me so I think maybe I just lost a bit of wee over night or just before I noticed?
I’m 39+3 FTM

No other real symptoms of labour just heavily pregnant discomfort

Help- Can contractions feel like pressure?

I have a painful pressure pain and crampy feeling in my lower back/lower abdomen and pelvic area. It woke me up from sleep and it's too painful to sleep with it. They're coming every 3-5 mins, I'm 40+5 weeks. Is this labour? I have no idea. They're getting more painful. I'm hydrated. Thanks xx
