HCG Levels

Okay I found out I was pregnant on 19th March. Did blood work on 23rd and my HCG was 6000. An Ultra Sound was given to me on March 31st  and with the thought that I was about 7 weeks 2-3 days along but all they saw was an empty sac.  I then had another blood test that same day and my HCG was 20,000. My docs seems very concerned becaused I have had 4 miscarriges. I will have another Ultra Sound on April 7th but in the mean time any advice will help while I wait.

I had went to the Dr. in October because I had been bleeding for 14 days straight. They check my hcg levels they were high indicating I was pregnant, i also took a urine preg test at the DR. office, it was positive. My pregnancy was growing in my fallopian tube (8 weeks along) and had ruptured causing all the bleeding ( I also had a history of miscariages- one 5 years ago). Are you bleeding?  Do you have lower abdominal pain or back pain? If so you preg might have attached where it wasn't supposed to.

Could be a blighted ovum.  This is where the gestation sac develops in the absence of an embryo.  It's likely that you would be slightly smaller than expected for gestation.

Microscopic studies have shown that imperfect sperm are still able to fertilise a normal or defective ovum, which then results in the blighted ovum.

If that's what it is then it's unlikely to reoccur in future pregnancies.  However the fact that you've had 4 miscarriages means you should have further investigations.
