I had my fourth blood test today and my HCG is up to 3415, so nearly four times what it was on Friday! So that is great news. Now we wait over two weeks until the ultrasound on the 7th. Its going to be hard not having any new information for that long!
I had a lot of cramps over the week-end, but according to the internet that is normal at 5 weeks because this is when the placenta is forming and the uterus is starting to stretch. Also my nurse said today that I should drink more water because dehydration can cause cramping (and it has been nearly 100 degrees for well over a week so its likely I'm not drinking enough).
So we are feeling positive, but as always cautious, my HCG levels got all the way up to 13,000 the other time and I still miscarried, so despite the continuing good news, I don't feel in the clear yet!
