only measuring 4.5 wks should be farther.

On 12/10/10 I had 2 + hpt.  8 days later I started bleeding, lasted 9-10 days.  I didn't pass any tissue or clots, but it was heavy.  I was due to go to the doctor for my "conformation" on 12/20.  By that time I had started bleeding so they brought me in for an u/s and bHCG's.  They didn't see anything on u/s no baby or sac.  They were sure I had miscarried.  The holidays were very hard but I went through it and I was ok.  My levels were at 297 they wanted to retest in a week to make sure they were decreasing.  12/27 bHCG's were at 426.  They thought I may have an ectopic pregnancy since they didn't see anything on the u/s the first time.  During the second u/s on 1/7 they didn't see anything in the tubes but they saw a sac measuring 4.5 wks in the uterus, which wouldn't make any sense due to the + hpt nearly a month earlier should be atleast 7.5.  The day of the second u/s they did more bHCG's and they came back 1119.  They wanted to test them again 2 days later and they were only up 200 pts.  My doctor has been in practice for over 30 years and he is "baffled"  Has anyone been through anything similar.  I don't know how much more I can take emotionally.  Not only did I go through 1 m/c (So I was told), but I feel as if I am having to prepare myself for another.  I feel very much pregnant.  Please Help.

I know that before 9 weeks 2 days I was told I was having blighted ovum and told I would Miscarriage naturally, my baby was not found on the ultrasound and my levels were rising slower than usual. I am now almost 7 months pregnant  and he is fine, some peoples level rise slower than others but they are rising and have never  decreased and it is not un usual to not see the bub so early. I also had bleeding

It sounds like one of two things:

-non viable pregnancy
-new pregnancy

Keep getting tests! Get a sonogram soon to see if the little one has grown, if there is a heartbeat, etc.
