Threatened Miscarriage?
So I was the ER this morning because I had really light spotting and with my blood sugar and pressure being high my doctor's office said just go to ER. This is the result of the Ultrasound. The ER Doc said I will most likely miscarry and that if I haven't started bleeding by Saturday to come back to check my HCG levels. He said there's a small chance that I wont miscarry. I'm only measuring 6 weeks when I should be 7 weeks 6 days. I know 100% that my last period was on May 28 but I don't know when I ovulate. I've never kept track but I did get a faint positive on June 30 so is it possible that I just ovulated really late? How soon after an egg is fertilized will you get a positive pregnancy test? I'm just feeling really confused. I don't have any more spotting or cramping and I've actually had nausea the last two days. If anyone has any input on these results pleae let me know. I went through something similar with my son and he's 2 now so I'm just praying that I ovulated late and this baby is ok.
Indications: Light spotting at 6am on 7-22-10
Technique: Transverse and longitudinal images of the pelvis were obtained with a curvilinear transducer. Endovaginal ultrasound was used to better evaluate the endometrium and adnexa.
Findings: The uterus measures 7.5 x 4.9 x 5.5 cm in size.
There is an intrauterine pregnancy with a gestational sac measuring 1.2 cm. This is consistent with a 6 week 0 day intrauterine pregnancy. A yolk sac is visualized. An embryonic disc is not seen. No cardiac activity is visualized. There is a small subchorionic fluid collection measuring up to 0.9 cm in size.
The left ovary is 2.4 x 1.6 x 3.0 cm. The right ovary is 3.7 x 2.0 x 2.9 cm.
No adnexal mass or free intraperitoneal fluid is seen.
Impression: Early intrauterine pregnancy. Too early to detect cardiac activity or embryonic disc. A followup examination may be helpful to determine whether this is a viable pregnancy.
The estimated gestational age is 6 weeks 0 days based on the gestational sac. A normal appearing yolk sac is seen.
Sac is 1.2 cm
Small hypoechoic area seen adjacent to gestational sac 0.9 x 0.6 x 0.8? small bleed?
Right ovary possible corpul luteum seen 1.9 cm
Beta HCG Quantatative: 11,495

Thank you
I am so sorry to hear that. I was praying so hard for you and was hoping for the best. Your in our thoughts hun =(
I'm so sorry.God be with you dear.Sometimes there's nothing we can do,you could not have protected him. Its not your fault. Remember, God loves you.
UPDATE:
So I had my last ultrasound today. I should have been 10 weeks 5 days but I'm still only measuring 6 weeks. They could see a baby today but no heartbeat. So looks like a missed miscarriage. Very sad day for me, heart is very heavy. I just wish I could hold my baby. I'm so sorry that I could not protect him and give him the chance to be born :(

Thanks everyone. I will keep you all posted. This week will be quiet No doctor appointments this week. I see my Primary Physician on Aug. 2 to see if they'll help get this diabetes and high blood pressure under control (the diet and exercise I started last week is already making a difference!) and then I see the OB on Aug. 9.
The ER doc recommended to get my levels tested every 2 days at my OB this week but between my work and my husband's work it's just not going to happen, especially since we only have 1 car and neither of us can miss more work. So I've opted to just wait it out until Aug. 9 as long as there isn't any spotting or cramping. I've had a couple of people tell me they have been praying and feel that everything will be ok and I will be having this baby....so I'm just holding onto positive thoughts. I feel so protective of this baby already and I just want it to be ok.
I hope everyone has a great week!

I am also praying for you. Its a good sign those numbers went up.
I am really happy to hear your numbers are going up! I would have done the same thing in your shoes and waited it out. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and be sure keep us updated on how things are going!
I am so happy that your numbers are rising!! That mean the baby might just be ok =) I will be thinking about you. Please keep me posted on you and your little one =)
Well this morning I woke up so nauseous...tried eating breakfast but almost vomited and I was still having nausea when I went to the the hospital at 3pm to recheck my HCG levels. Here's the new.....
On Thursday my levels were 11, 495
Today they were 15, 405
Not double but rising and the ER doc said he was cautiously optimistic. My OB doc had told me not to waste my time today and she was confident that my levels were dropping and that the baby had stopped developing at 6 weeks (2 weeks ago) but nope..they are rising. The ER doc mentioned that since the levels didn't double it could indicate an ectopic pregnancy but I had a thorough scan on Thursday and they didn't see that. From what they saw in my uterus and from what people are saying here....6 weeks matches the levels etc. So I'm thinking that I ovulated late.
I've decided to just wait it out and go to my next OB appointment on Aug. 9 and pray they see the baby and heartbeat. This week has been really rough but now I know that there is a chance this baby is ok. Saying a prayer and many thanks to all of you for your support and prayers.

Thanks everybody. I am praying hard for a miracle and that I just ovulated late. I am going to the hospital to have my levels checked tomorrow so say a big prayer that they are going up!
Even though for the last 5 months my periods have been every 32 days I have no idea when I ovulate so I am hoping that I ovulated late this time.
I went to see my OB today and she did another ultrasound and still couldn't find a heartbeat. She told me because my blood sugar is high (Which I didn't find out until Monday, had no idea I might be diabetic) that it killed the baby. Said a embryo just can't grow with high blood sugar but I'm sure that I am not the only person who has had high blood sugar and the beginning of a pregnancy...and I'm sure some of those women went on to have healthy babies. She wanted to do a D&C but I asked that we wait a little longer and she will give me till my next appointment which is on Aug. 9. If I haven't miscarried before then they will do another ultrasound and if there still isn't a heartbeat I will have to a have a d&C.
I was really upset earlier and crying. I feel like I killed my baby because I didn't take care of myself but I had no idea I might have diabetes. Didn't have any symptoms or I thought I was just having pregnancy symptoms. The last 3-4 days I've been having a lot of nausea and I can only eat small amounts of food before I almost gag or vomit and I'm started to get that aversion to certain smells. I just feel really confused, like why am I having more pregnancy symptoms in the last few days if my baby stopped growing 2 weeks ago.
I am really anxious to get the blood test tomorrow....praying for an hcg of 20,000. I'll let you guys know tomorrow night. Thank for everyone's well wishes and prayers. I'm so glad that there is a place to go where people will listen and understand.

praying for you.. i know this is tough to go through. i can't really give much advice other than the symptom thing: i had better days the last two days, but woke up this morning feeling it again.. i think it is okay to experience breaks in symptoms, and it doesn't necessarily indicate that something is wrong. in regards to your question about how many days after an egg is fertilized will you get a positive: i have read as early as 8dpo, but more commonly 14 + days. mine was barely visible/squinting to even tell at 10 dpo. rest as much as you can and trust that the outcome will be okay. you may have very well ovulated late in your cycle. please keep us posted, sending positive thoughts your way :)
I am really sorry you are going through this =(
If you ovulated late then there is a chance the dates are just off. It may have been too soon to detect cardiac activity. Your HGG level is good. It is whwere it should be for around 6 weeks pregnant. Keep us posted on how your follow up appt goes

I am really sorry that I have no helpful information in this situation, but I just want you to know that I am praying for you and your little one. Hopefully your due date is just off and you can get some good news in the next few days. Good luck sweetie and keep us updated!
Your measurment of 6wks..could the projected due date be off? I ask because when I first tested positive they put me as being around 8wks but when I went for u/s the baby was only 6wks 1 day and we saw HB so we knew the due date was off. I found it was because my luteal phase was longer than normal throwing off the correct due date. I went from being due on Feb 11 to Feb 28 to finally from the u/s March 7. I would try to calm down and hope for the best!
My prayers are with you and I hope the best for you to continue with a successful pregnancy.
