Small fetal pole at supposedly 7 wks no heartbeat...rising HCG levels...I'm worried
Hi everyone. I'm so nervous. Okay...my LMP was April 24th. Found out I was pregnant on May 28th(home pregnancy test)I had an early visit with my doctor because I had an eptopic pregnancy in September 2006. My first OBGYN visit was June 7th (HGC levels @ 6,000). Ultrasound proved not to be an eptopic..thank you Lord. I thought I was 6 weeks at the time but gestational sac showed only 5 weeks..had another visit on June 21st which showed a small fetal pole no hb...doctor's say I'm not as far along as I think or something is wrong because this visti showed a 6 week fetus,took more blood work...HCG levels @ 13,031..wanted to take more blood work the next day and levels rose to 14,811. My question is, is it possible that my dates could be out of wack..could I have gotten pregnant a week or so after the "text book conception date" of May 7th. Or do any of you think something is wrong? I go back for another ultrasound on July 2nd to make sure the baby is growing as it should. I'm losing it over here because my husband I really want this baby.

How did your u/s go?
Hi-
I'm anxious to see what you all found in your next u/s...especially with the slow rise in HCG going on. I've been searching the internet to try to find some hopeful answers to the same issues. My LMP was around May 22. I had positive pregnancy tests on Jun 18. I started cramping on June 23, spotted a tiny, tiny bit two times (not even measurable), but still have cramped off and on for a couple of weeks. I have heard that this can be normal, and I have heard that I am probably miscarrying. I had an HCG test last Tues, my levels were 9000. I also had an ultrasound same day. Dr. found the gestational sac with the fetal pole, so I was encouraged. However, he had me at about 4wks4d, and according to my calculations, I should have been around 6wks. Had another HCG test Thurs...had risen to 11,400. Had another Sat. morn, had risen to 13,600. The Dr. called me and is concerned about the slow rise in HCG. He seems to think that this won't turn out well. This is all so much to fathom, as this is my third pregnancy, and my other two were so normal. I have to wait until July 17 for my next u/s, and I am feeling overwhelmed with questions and worry. I'm trying to be patient, all the while hopeful, but preparing myself for whatever may be found during that u/s.

Hi,
I had gone into the doctor thinking i may be about 2 1/2 months so 10 wks pregnant i might be off on my dates.
they determined my sac was only at 5 1/2 weeks and was empty. They also told me i might be having a miscarriage but it was too early to tell.\
i am supposed to go for 2 blood tests to determine my HCG levels and go for another ultrasound in 10 days.
is there a possiblitly they could be wrong and this pregnancy could continue to grow?
i am really worried but i havent had any symptomes of a miscarriage yet.

Hi guys keep your head held high I had the same thing happen, a week later when I went back we saw a baby and heartbeat. Best wishes! My LMP was 4/9 I am 11 weeks and all we saw to begin with was an empty sac; everyone was quick to assume "blightend ovum", they were wrong. My thoughts are with you both keep us updated!
Thanx Amber.....I'm pulling my hair out over here waiting for my July 2nd ultrasound. This baby is very important to me because I'm 33, had my first child @ 17 and this would be my second child and my husband and I have none of our own. I've been praying and asking God to see it fit in His will to bless us with this baby.
I'm not experience any bleeding or cramping. I had cramping off & on for the first 3 to 4 weeks but it seemed as if once I went to the bathroom they would go away. My breasts are growing like crazy (considering that I was like an AAA cup, if there is such a thing) and believe it or not I have pooch that won't quit. So I'm praying everything is on the "up & up".

Thanks Amber...you've given me some hope...I have my ultrasound tomorrow and we'll see what happens...Like Mickey, I have not had an cramping or bleeding, and still have pregnancy symptoms, although not as strong as with my first child. I'm really hoping that everything goes well tomorrow...good luck to you Mickey on the 2nd! My prayers are with both of you!
AJD,
I guess we both have to sit here and wait until somebody comes by this forum and gives us some (hopefully) positive answers.

I am going through something very similar...my LMP was April 22nd and I was scheduled to start Clomid, but b/c of a previously planned trip, could not follow through with all the testing required. I ended up getting pregnant, finding out around the second to last week in May. Had extremely low counts at the beginning, and kept having to have blood work done. My levels skyrocketed, doctor ordered an u/s to confirm the fetus was in the uterus...everything looked great...just went to another u/s last week, and u/s tech said there was no fetal heartbeat...all the nurses were very quick to tell me that they were sorry, and that I was having a miscarriage...I am confused...couldn't the dating be off...the first u/s tech told me verbally that I was 4 weeks, but wrote in her report for the doctor that I was 5 weeks...last week they told me the fetus measured out to 6 weeks, which would be consistent with what the u/s tech said to us...I am so confused...is there a chance that I could go this week and see a heartbeat?
