update re: 10/20 post about empty ultrasound done 10/19

[snb]

went to the hospital radiology dept again this am and had u/s done again...should be around 6 1/2 weeks by now (know i ovulated late and question if could have implanted late-how possible is this???)..the radiologist was not very optimistic stating it is likely that i am m/c since all he could see was an irregularly shaped sac which he says is more than likely fluid or blood pool since it is not oval or round like a typical gest sac...had some mild, intermittent cramps over the weekend and still NOT bleeding...still having pregnancy symptoms including breast tenderness and fatigue...remember nothing except a cyst on my left ovary and a thick uterine lining was observed on Thursday's u/s so the u/s pic has definitely changed in 4 days...saw my OB following the u/s and she states more than likely i will miscarry but she has seen similar cases where the woman ended up having a healthy pregnancy and birth so she wants to wait another week and have another u/s done next 10/30 to see if anything else has changed...she had the lab redraw my hcg levels (still waiting for the results) today so if my #'s continue to rise then i still have some hope (although she said not to get my hopes up too high since it is "rare" chance BUT possibility of continuing this pregnancy)...if the #'s start to fall then i will know i am miscarrying:(
this is the thing, i am so anxious waiting these few hours for the hcg results and will be devastated if they have dropped and will remain hopeful if they rise...don't know how i will manage either way...i want this baby with all my heart!! any input

hi everyone, well today i had another appt with my dr he told me that since at 6wks and 4days they can't see a fetal pole or hb that i most defiantely have an unviable pregnancy. My numbers are rising and the dr told me it's because the placenta grows there and can turn into a cancer, she used a name but im not sure wat it was. so tomorrow i go for another sono and today have to go have more blood work done, has anyone ever heard of this? A placenta that grows and makes ur hcg levels climb and can turn into cancer???? I am very frightenend of this outcome! Anyone's thoughts is appreciated! I have been experiencing every preg syptom under the sun and then some, including the hunger pangs!

dont give up hope God is has the last say so in everything never forget that! I am going thru the same situation, my levels are rising but not as fast as they would like same as about urs, and they can see a gest sac but thats all im about 5 wks next week will do more blood work and sono. You are in my prayers!

just received a call from the OB office and my hcg levels doubled (not in 2 days but in 3.5 days (was about 3400 and now is 6839)...so not as high as i'd like it but still rising so i have to hold out hope...just feel like i can't give up yet because something is going on in me and hopefully it's a baby trying to grow:) OB is going to redraw hcg on Thursday and as long as levels continue to rise she will have u/s done again this coming Monday 10/30...this week will drag on but if it turns out to be the news i'm hoping for it will all be worth it...
