Etopic pg?

[Tarobinc]

Just putting this out there to see if anyone else had this happen or something simliar.  
I found out I was pg at about 4 weeks. Within a few days, I did bleed and passed clots.  We truly thought that was it.  HCG has been 73, then only 90 48hrs later, then still 90 48hrs later and then 109 48 hrs later. OB wants another sonogram from a week from my last one. My first sonogram showed nothing but did see "free fluid" and thickened uternine lining.

My concern is that of an etopic pg that just wasn't able to be visulized on the first sonogram. I am curious what would make my levels climb every so slightly   - except that this may be an etopic.

Any insight is appreicated.

Thanks Ladies for responding.

I have my sonogram on Tuesday and the OB did say there was very little hope there is a viable pg due the my low HCG levels.

Yes, etopic or even a miscarriage can still show hcg levels increasing.  Sometimes it takes our bodies awhile to sort things out.  With a miscarriage it may be that there are still some "products of conception" left.

I am so sorry you are going through this, and wish you well.

I had an ectopic last year and experienced the miniscule rise in hcg levels.  The doctor was never able to find the  embryo's location with ultrasound so I was diagnosed with an "ectopic pregnancy  with unknown location".
