help

Hi everyone my name is Jammie and I am in need of some help. I found out on the 25th of April 2009 that i was prego with an HCG level of 5(blood test). Since then weird things have been happening. My Hcg levels have not doubled like the dr. thinks they should be. On the 5 they were 90 on the 8 they were 140 and then the 240 yesterday. Last night I was told again at the hosptial that my hcgs are still very low now at 240 what should they be. I have had three u/s and last nights was the only one that has shown anything. It showed a 2mm sac. I am not sure if its just a pusedo sac that can show up with an etopic or if I should wait and see if r  lil one develops. I have an appointment on Tuesday to rerun my hcg and do anyother ultrasound. I do not know what to do or what to think. I have had a previous preg. and all was fine.  whats the difference between a psuedo sac and a sac that will eventualy have a baby in it.

Hi Jab,

There is no emergency to get the D/C or to take an abortion drug.

I think it would be fine to just keep observing for another week or more... only risk if there was an ectopic - but these are fairly rare.  But as long as you know symptoms in case.

Don't rush into anything at this stage.

Best wishes

Hi guys I went to the dr.s today and he saw the same sac that was found on friday but he could not get a good measurement. He wanted me to get the abortion drug or to schedule a d & c but  i am not sure. If i ovulated late and really am four weeks instead of 8 than i do not want to kill r baby. If i am only 4 weeks does anyone know if a hcg of 240 is ok?
