some women just have high hcg levels. it can very from person to person. it is curious that they are not doubling. you have to just wait till tuesday to find out. if they saw a sac already, then everything should be fine. i wouldn't worry too much. congrats, and i wish you luck.let us know on tuesday.
I had my LMP on 8/28/07 it was only 4 days. I took a home pregnancy test on 9/28 and it was positive. Went to Dr. on 10/15/07 only saw a gestational sac on U/S. So I had my HCG levels checked, on 10/15 they were 20,000 and Wed 10/17 exactly 48 hours later they were 26,000. The Dr. said he was confused b/c he mentioned a blighted ovum at the time of the U/S or said my dates were off, but when I spoke to him on Wed, he said he was confused b/c my HCG levels were so high but not doubling, but still rising, so he said come back for U/S on Tues 10/23. I have nasuea and I am really tired, but no cramping or spotting. What should I think about all of this? This is my 1st pregnancy. I have great hope there will be fetus on Tuesday. Does anyone have any insight on the high HCG levels? Thank you. Katie
Yeah I was hoping maybe they were wrong but m/c run really high in my family. my aunt had 16+ miscarriages and has 4 kids, she wanted kids so bad. but i was really hoping that it was still here but today i started bleeding thick tissue, so i know there is nothing I can do. I am going to let nature take its course. I am not doing a D&C unless medically ness. I dont believe in that. (or to me it seems too much like an abortion). Agian thank you for your thoughts in writing me, I kept my pregnancy quick so I dont have many people to talk to.
Congrads on the U/S I wish you the best!!
I had my u/s today, we only saw a sac that measured 5 wks which was what they expected to see. Until I see a heartbeat I'm still nervous, but they all told me before they even did the u/s that this was all they were expecting to see. I go back for another next Thursday, it just seems like such a long time to wait.
I am so sorry to hear. I don't want to give you false hope but my mother-in-law told me that they told her that about one of her pregnancies & they were ready to do a D&C, she told them she wanted to wait another week, that baby ended up getting a heartbeat & my sister-in-law is now a healthy 20 year old. Isn't it possilbe that you're just not as far along as they thought?
I am so sorry! I don't really know what to say, but I will tell you that my first miscarriage they thought I had an ectopic, I ended up with lapricopic surgery to remove it before it ruptured but what they thought was ectopic on the u/s was really just a cyst. My dr. at that time did tell me, when he was going through the risks of what may happen if the ectopic ruptures, that even if you lose one fallopian tube your chances of getting pregnant again are almost the same as before. Good luck and make sure you let your body rest up before trying again, your body I'm sure is in shock. My thoughts are with you & you'll be in my prayers.
