reasurance test?? ANY advise pls ladies???
Hi girls
This is probably going to sound crazy but its just a thought I have had!
I have heard a few of you been having blood tests to check your pg levels. I havnt had blood tests done, but im 9 weeks pg. I have had a mmc in the past, and im petrified of having my scan next week for them to say lost baby again.
So I was thinking of doing another pregnancy test at home, to see how strong the line is, cos if it is faint it will make me think my levels are low, when they should be very strong by now!
What do you all think, should I try a test to check the strength, or stop worrying so much and hope all goes well next friday at the scan?
Sorry to go on, im just scared Im gonna loose this baby like did last time

I know how you feel about your 12 week scan coz i was petrified. I has one at 8 weeks and 3 days and coz i waso ver 8 weeks i couldnt have a 12 week scan, i had to wait 12 weeks for my next scan. Fingers crossed all will be fine. x x Abbey & 30 +6 bump x
Good luck, sorry I cant be of any more help

So what I am trying to say is that no tests can give you 100% reassurance. You can certainly ask your docs to do HCG tests, but you would have to have one on Monday, then one Wednesday and you wouldn't get results until possibly late Thursday? By which time you would have had your scan I am guessing.
The only other thing worth trying like Hayley says is to try and get an earlier scan.
All the best and try not to worry - but I know that is easier said than done. xxx
I know im being over paranoid, its just frightening, as some of you who have also had mmc will know. I will just wait till next friday and hope for the best and pray there is a healthy happy bundle in there! then they might scan again before 20 weeks to be safe, but will see how friday goes 1st.
I feel ok, and thanks again for your advise and support, nice to know some others have felt same after prev probs early on. Good luck to you all and happy healthy pregnancies for us all.
