well my dr is concerned mine is ectopic i know levels for that type of pregnancy is remarkably low. im over a month and my level is 200 as of 4days ago... if your having severe cramping and spotting go to the hopsital and they will give u an hcg count and an ultra sound so you'll know before you leave thats what ive been doing i cant ever get into my dr. even if its just spotting voice your concerns they'll check you out its best to find these thing out as early as possible. i wish you the best keep me posted
I had a m/c in October at 12 weeks after slow rising hcg levels. At 6 weeks they were in the 400's and barely rising over 2 days. I don't believe there is necessarily a typical hcg level for ectopic pregnancies, but I think that a red flag is hcg levels that are not rising as expected, maybe only 10% in 48 hours rather than the at least 55% Dr's like to see. I know with my levels so low my Dr was originally concerned about the pregnancy being ectopic. It ended up being a blighted ovum. I am sorry that you need to be worried about this, and I wish you well!
thanku so much for your response i went to the er tonight agian for sever cramping and bleeding and the did see a sac in my uterus questionable yoke and no fetal pole or heart beat. so they are calling it a possible miscarriage and theatened abortion. xing my fingers and im sorry about your loss
Thank you for your stories. I wish you all good luck. I was concerned because I had a pelvic exam last week at 5 weeks 6 days and the dr said everything looked good. My hcg that day was around 14440. I went Friday for an ultrasound at 6 weeks 2 days, and the tech said there was a lot of coagulated blood in my uterus and she couldn't see much. The dr on call diagnosed me over the phone to the nurse that I had a miscarraige. I feel like with hcg that high there has to be a sac somewhere, and it is driving me crazy. I was thinking it could be ectopic, but from what you said it doesn't seem likely either. I am so nervous. I will get the results from my hcg on Friday sometime today. This has been a long weekend!
I'm not sure but best wishes to you!
Ps you could always google and look it up while you wait!
Confused- I am sorry you have to play the waiting game and you aren't sure what's going on. Super slow rising hcg is a flag for ectopic, but be aware that levels can also rise normally for a period of time before plateauing. If you have any severe cramping with or without bleeding please please call your dr and go to the er. I hope that you just had some blood sitting in your uterus for a while and it was hiding the sac.
I have gone back to the Dr yesterday and today and now they are concerned with a molar pregnancy. Probably the worst case scenario! I have to go for a D&C on Thursday and then I am in for a year of weekly followups. Good luck to you all!
My friend's sister had a molar pregnancy 2 years ago. In September she gave birth to a healthy little boy. She couldn't ttc for at least a year I believe so it's definately a long wait, but hold onto the fact that a healthy pregnancy afterwards is absolutely a possibility. I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you a fast recovery!
