[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Because when I was frantically searching, I hated how many posters never came back to say what happened... Obviously, I don't know how things are going to turn out for sure yet, but I definitely just had my best day in 7 weeks!

After my last post, I started bleeding bright red at 9 weeks... Brought in for a scan, which showed a sizeable hematoma adjacent to the placenta. Told there was about a 50% chance things would work out (and this doctor didn't even know about the HCG issue). Baby looked fine, measuring on track, HB good.

Scan at 10 weeks showed everything basically fine w/ the baby (some concern over possibly 5 days worth of growth in 7 days, but within the margin of error esp given different machines), no visible sch and hematoma mostly gone. OB started to seem more optimistic: hematoma could explain the HCG results... implantation at 5 weeks was imperfect (spotting as evidence), but seemingly managed to correct itself based on current scan.

Just had my first trimester screening at 12 weeks and everything looked good! (First Trimester Screening was not ideal/not awful for DS, but M21 was clear... so probably everything is fine.) Based on all of the literature I can find, normal U/S at 12 weeks and clear M21 suggest that we are back to basically normal odds that everything will turn out OK notwithstanding the HCG results. So relieved.[/quote]
