HCG levels. Trying to determine how many weeks I am.
So this whole process has been so confusing for me, I'll start by saying I took a pregnancy test on May 12th as things were just feeling weird with my body. Back in March I had my regular period starting on the 16th. Lasted it's normal 4 days and then a week later starting on the 26th I bled again for a week which was completely abnormal, it was very light but constant. I went to the doctors then and was sent for blood work. Also was negative for being pregnant at that time. I'm also on the Nuva ring so after my regular period I had put the ring back in but sometime during that weird week it must have came out with a tampon as I could no longer find it. This is when I'm sure my body and my cycle all got messed up. Because I didn't know how long the ring was out for I didn't want to mess my body up more by just putting in a new one and decided to just wait for my regular period to come and I'd put it in after that. So now April 22nd comes and I start to bleed which I take as my period although it is really light and doesn't last the normal 4 days. The next few weeks I just feel so weird and take a test to ease my mind. It comes back positive and I am over joyed to be honest. I have always wanted to be a mom.
I head to the clinic on the 12th and he also send me for a dating ultrasound as I say my April bleeding wasn't really my period and mention my regular last one to be the March 16th. With that he puts me at 8 weeks. My ultrasound looks nothing like 8 weeks which concerns me.. Luckily he calls me the following week after he has reviewed my ultrasound and says I'm dating at 5 weeks. I'm now a nervous wreck cause I can't pin point when I would have conceived and the dates just don't add up to anything. To my relief though the ultrasound did look like everyone else's 5 week pictures.
I was sent to get my HCG levels done to make sure they are going up so my levels on the 19th were 109 and my levels on the 24th were 392. I have one more test that they should receive today or tomorrow and that will hopefully be a lot higher too.
I'm looking at these stupid HCG level charts online and it's putting me at like 4 weeks or so even though I now should be on my 7th week from my last ultrasound. I really just need price of mind that everything is going well. I go next week for my apparent 8 week ultrasound and am so nervous.
I'm just being crazy though right? If I'm not bleeding, still feeling symtoms occasionally and my levels are going up, everything should be going well right?
