You can see stuff on the ultrasound at 5 weeks, but your HCG has to be over 2000. Call you doctor, and ask for a beta today and another on Friday.

thanks...i've just felt kind of nauseous since day before AF started and since it's different this time I just wonder what's going on, thank you for your response. hope you get great news soon

OP here; I would just wait on it, PP. In my case, it was a strange experience in that my flow came at the usual expected time for a period, though in retrospect, maybe there was a slight difference from a 'regular' flow. I tested positive later, at I think 16 DPO.

New Poster here, AF started but no fresh red blood at all, just light sticky brown (sorry, TMI). took HPT test but it was negative...is this just a weird period or is it at all possible i could be pregnant?

Thank you for your kindness, PP ... OP

Hi OP, I am so sorry for your loss.

Thanks PP, OP here. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for me. I was hopeful it would have stuck, though.

I've got two kids and with both pregnancies I had bleeding at the time my first missed period was due. Less than a normal period though - a couple of days and no bright red. Continued to bleed on and off through the pregnancies - they never discovered why, and it was pretty stressful, but all worked out in the end.

OP here ... hmm, that's a good point, PP. I would hope they would give me the number (I will ask), considering they are monitoring the relative change in the level ...

I think it's quantitative and qualitative.
