Update to my frustration, 5 weeks.

Hi! Me again. I ended up dragging myself to the emergency department last night (A&E for us) just for reassurance as, honestly, I've been driving myself mad with worry over what possibly could be wrong with this pregnancy after the GPs dismissive attitude about it to me.

I was seen and frankly, the nurses were shocked that I had been dismissed as well and I was able to stand up for myself and try to get the answers I needed about the bleeding. I was given a blood test, I did urine tests (both came back positive for pregnancy), and I was also given a specular exam. It was.. Unusual, but I was given the news that I am NOT having an active miscarriage like my gp doctor was convinced of, so there's that. (Neck of my womb was shut tight, according to them).

However, I was phoned back this morning with my blood results - and my hcg is very low. From the period dates I did give the nurses they've placed me at 5 weeks pregnant, and while they did reassure me that the low level could have been due to implantation etc, I am going back in tomorrow for another blood draw so they can check to see if the levels are rising appropriately. I'm a little worried and scared, but there's not much I can do other than wait to see what tomorrow's results are.

I have also been referred for an ultrasound scan, but we're unsure of when that scan is happening right now.

Thank you for all of your advice on my last post, and hopefully my hcg results come back good tomorrow 🥳
