Hi, I am another scared woman wondering if I'm carrying a baby, or headed towards miscarriage.
I had my first ultrasound at what I calculated at 8 weeks based on LMP (24 day cycle), and only a gestational sac was found.
HCG levels were 100,000, going up to 112,000 over 48 hours. Doc said they were strong, and they didn't need to be doubling at this level.
Second ultrasound at 8w 6d showed gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole measuring 5 1/2 weeks, but no heartbeat.
I'm scheduled for a third ultrasound next wed, which would be 10weeks, and if there's no hb, it's over
Is this possible - to be almost 3 weeks behind? My dates can't be that far off!
Also, my doc did the 2 ultrasounds in the office, but gave me the option to have the 3rd at the hospital. Is there any benefit to that, vs having my doc do it?
Any advice would be really helpful!
thanks!
