Pregnant??? and confused!!!

[jakesmom414]

I have read so many posts that seem so similar to mine, however, I want to give some specifics to my situation.  I took an HPT on October 13... definite positive!  Yay!!  By my calculations I should have been appx. 10 weeks (LMP in August), however my cycle has been rather unpredictable over the past year or so.  I went to the Dr., she did a PT which was positive and drew blood for bhcg.  She did a transab. sonogram and didn't see what she should be seeing for 10 weeks. We discussed my erratic cycle and determined that my dates could be wrong... All she could see was a sac and what she called "debris".  She said that if I was only 5 weeks, then she was seeing what she should see, that if there was a problem, the bloodwork would show it.  I went home really upset, knowing that things could very easily show trouble for my pregnancy.  After the long 2 day wait on blood results, my bhcg was 3560, she ordered a retest 2 days later, which came back at just over 3800.  Her prognosis is not good, either I am about to miscarry or I have a blighted ovum, so we began to discuss my options.  After reading all the posts about misdiagnosed miscarriage, etc, I told her I was not ready to make the decision of whether to D & C or wait to m/c naturally, so I am scheduled for another appt. Monday so she can look again.  Am I fooling myself that there is any hope of her seeing something good on Monday?  Is there any chance that this could be a viable pregnancy?  I am not having any trouble at all, no cramps, no bleeding... Just the mental strain of waiting!  I would love to hear your thoughts!!!

my very first pregnancy was a blighted ovum. I also had the same exact things happen to me as well. I tried to miscarry naturally, but my pregnancy went on to 12 weeks before my doctor told me it was best to just have the D&C. blighted ovums are funny things ... I had no symptoms of being pregnant at all, except for the missed period. good luck, and just keep in mind that letting it go too far can harm you.

my doc told me that a blighted ovum wasn't really a baby that died, rather a small group of cells a few days after fertilization that something genetically went wrong. they don't ever develop into babies. that kind of helped with dealing with it ... trust me I know

I dont know anything about miscarriage but I do know that at my first apt they only saw a gestational sack when they should have seen much more. But then only two days later they saw a yoke sack too..and then a week & a half later a heart beat! So I do know thing can progress so quick..from nothing. I also know that your blood levels are suppose to double every 48 hours..but I dont know how much a viable pregnancy depends on that. I'd just wait & see. Good Luck!! I hope everything turns out ok..& dont make any decisions your not comfortable with (like a D&C) until you know everything you want to know.
