Must be they did draw Hcg levels, as they usually draw a couple of sets 48-72 hours apart to see if they rise...If they do rise...that means everything should be A-OK! If you want to learn more about Hcg, go to http://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html
It gives some good info. on it and it's pretty easy to understand......
I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!
oh and thanks for your advice..i dont know if they took my hcg levels at the hospital but they took four tubes of blood so im sure they did but i have to go agen to the lab and get more drawn blood so they can compare my wensday results to friday and then i go bak agen on wensday to find out but i will let you guyz know what happned
did she ever find out why her they couldnt find her baby??
Hcg levels will give you a more definate answer as to whether or not the pregnancy is viable.....Did your Dr. at your OB office try to get a HB after your ER incident? I find that many offices in the US are very neglectful of patients....I had a similar situation in Dec. went for U/S, found no heartbeart but found twins....they immedately asked if I wanted to sign consent for a D&C (that day) and I refused....I felt fine, we were terribly upset and I didn't feel could make the right decision at that moment due to my state of mind....DH was tearing up, etc. I couldn't believe that they would want to do a D&C without further testing, b/c I've read so many similar cases with happy endings....Anyway, I had my Hcg drawn (my suggestion to the Dr) and the levels dropped...so I ended up going ahead with the D&C...
Point being, you need to do what you feel is right for you...DOn't do anything that you would regret b/c you can't take it back........I think that you will be able to better decide what to do after you get lab results......At least I did.
Tons of Luck and I'm sorry that you are going thru this......Please keep us all posted on the outcome.
actaully i just reread her email and her u/s ws @ 20 weeks and the baby was born 2 months early
she went for an ultrasound and they told her thye couldn't find the baby snd sent her to a special hospital with better technology where they couldn't see the baby and told her that she needed to have a d&c but she refused- baby was born early and was only 2lbs12 oz. i think she was like 16 weeks because they also suggested an amnio which she also refused
wat do u mean they couldnt find her baby past the our date? but yuh well im 11 weeks and the doctor keeps telling me if there was an alive baby in my uterus we would be able to see it but he still dcant explain to me why the other doctor found a heart beat with the doppler...thank you for your advice i realy appreciate it
i know someone who they couldn't find the baby past our date but she is a healthy 6 yr old today. when i has a 6 week u/s all it was was a flicker of the heartbeat. so try to be patient.. where i'm from they don't even try to find heartbeat until 14 weeks and your first u/s is at 20 weeks (unless there is a problem)
