Just got my bloodwork results in, my hcg went up to a little over 17,000 and my progesterone went up to 17.7. I am on progesterone supplements so I'm glad to see that it's going up instead of down. If I would be miscarrying would they continue to rise like that? Besides that I haven't had any bleeding, so is this a good sign?
Clysta- thanks for the information, it was my OB that did the ultrasound, it was also vaginal I forgot to mention that. She didn't even really look for long. All she said was, "this is a very simple thing to do and I can't seem to find anything." I'm not comfortable with her at all so I think after Monday I'm going to switch doctors. She didn't seem to care too much about looking further into it.
I'm very sorry to hear about your recent miscarriage, even thinking about the possibility really hurts me. I've been doing a lot of research since I found out I was preggo and yes miscarriage is very common, something I didn't know until now. I almost wish I still didn't know I think it's made my nerves worse.
Hopefulmom17- hearing from someone who's gone through just about the same thing kind of makes me feel better, I can only hope that this is my situation. Thanks for the luck, I need it.
When I had my first u/s at 5 weeks 4 days there was nothing and I too have a tilted uterus. I am now 28 weeks pregnant with a little girl. Even though its hard try to relax and keep faith. Good luck.
A tilted uterus can definitely make things difficult to see. I found out I have one, and when I had my first ultrasound it took the tech forever to actually find the embryo and heartbeat. I was 7 weeks when I had it done, and it was vaginal. She had to tilt it in every direction to finally find it. The quality of the machines, tech experience and vaginal/abdominal ultrasound also makes a difference.
I wouldn't lose hope just yet, and there's always a chance everything will be ok. As for what could be the cause for this, that's really impossible to answer. IF (and I'm not saying you're miscarrying, this is general) you're having a miscarriage, it's often due to a chromosomal issue with the child itself and not the mother. Miscarriage is actually much more common than women believe, and 1 in 5 will have it. This might actually be higher, as many women miscarry and never actually know they were pregnant. I know all this means nothing when you're actually having it, but a miscarriage isn't an indicator that you won't have healthy pregnancies in the future. I myself have a 10 month old baby girl, but a little over a month ago (almost 2 months ago now) had a chemical pregnancy.
