8 week pregnant but no fetal pole with decline hcg level.

I am 25 and this is my 1st pregnancy.I went for my 1st ultrasound and i was 6 weeks by my LMP but my period are not regular.they tell me that everything is ok (Gsac:10.4mm, no fetal pole n measured 4w6d) n my HCG level is 10,120. I went for the next ultrasound 20 days later n my Gsac only increase a little - 15mm n no fetal pole but my bHCG decrease to 8883. they set up me another appointment 6 day later n see the Gsac increased to 27.1mm 6w6d but my bHCG keep decline to 4092 n my progestron : 16.5. still there no fetal pole seen.So i went to another clinic 3 days later to do another ultrasound and they measured 22.7mm n no fetal pole seen(decreasing in Gsac size). but all of them telling me that the g sac shape is round and in a good condition. I am worried bcoz they(the doctor) keep on telling me to have the D&C. Is anybody there having the same problem with me?will there is any hope that another couple of week the fetal pole will be seen?

I would wait on the d&c if you have ANY Doubts.  However, declining hcg levels are always a bad sign.  I don't know if I've ever heard of them actually declining and having a positive outcome, i.e., a baby.  I'm sorry, hun.  This is very difficult to go through.  I  agree with the previous poster, I would have another u/s and bloodwork in a week, see what happens.  There is no rush to do a d&c.  Good luck!

i've never had this problem but if your not sure it won't hurt to wait another week to have your hcg levels checked and to get another ultrasound good luck
