very high hcg levels

[rashley32]

I went to the doctor about three times in the past 2 weeks.  The Nurse Practioner was the one who began all the ultrasounds.  She would never tell me anything.  she would not let me know how far I am ; how the baby is growing; or if she saw a heartbeat (although i figured i am probably too early to find one).  She said I had to come back Thursday to see the actual doctor.  They have done 2 hcg hormone test on me.  When he came into my room he first introduced hisself and then told me my pregnancy is not viable.  and the went on to explain my baby does not have a heartbeat cause the nurse could not detect it on the monitor.  They never tried doppler, but again i feel i am too early. He said my hcg levels are very high and i am going to misscarry my baby so i need a D & C done immediately. I told him if i misscarry it will happen on its on.  He kept trying to force me to get one.  He never told me my hcg level numbers or anything.  What would anyone suggest?  I am going to the hospital today to find out more (a different one than i went to yesterday).  Is this usually normal for a doctor to react like this and should i truly be concerned?

GO GET ANOTHER OPINON!!!!    I had 4 ultrasounds, 4!    My HCG levels were really high and a lot higher than average for where I am in my pregnancy.  At all 4 ultrasounds the doctor said no heartbeat, it is not looking good. I went to see a different doctor, and poof, a healthy baby with a heatbeat.


I am glad that you have an appointment with another doctor.  It is not right that they wont even tell you the hcg levels...

Thank you martika for the advise. That is how I feel and now I feel a whole lot more positive thanks to you.  I had a friend who decided with this same doctor to do a d and c and when they took the baby out it had a small heart beat and then lost it as soon as it came out.  I feel God will take care of my baby no matter what so I am going to wait to miscarry if I do.  I am about to go to a really incredible hospital here for pregnant women who has high technology and an excellent staff.  I am excited and hope to see or hear a heart beat or even see how far I am.  Every time they have done an ultra sound on me I have noticed changes;  my gestational sac is larger my baby looks like a larger circle now or a kidney bean which ever where as 3 weeks ago my baby looked like a baby dot from far away and up close.  my yolk sak is a little bit more mature as well.  It is hard to believe that some doctors out there care more about their money than their patients; but I have seen alot of them out there.  So now I am going june 11 to see a much better and very popular doctor and a great staff.  I will fill you in as to how tonight goes.

Don't worry in the first 3 months my U/S was a whole week off and then a little. They said I was due Sept 21 when I KNOW i'm due sep 13.

WE didn't get a hb til 5w6d but the dr said it was VERY, VERY early and he was suprised.

My hcg levels went up about every 48-72hrs..exactly how they're supposed to.

So be assured, some women don't get a heartbeat til about 8-9weeks pregnant. and ALWAYS get a 2nd or even a 3rd opinion because dr.'s don't know anything and they're quick to try and get a woman to have a D&C.

I've seen abunch of cases where a woman was told that, didn't do it, and went back a week or so later to find out in fact she had a healthy baby. OR got a u/s done before the procedure and found out they're kid had a heartbeat!

imagine how many women have had D&C's and they're babie's were alive and they never knew because of stupid doctors!

They did see the baby and showed the baby to me..they just don't spot a pulse rate on the ultra sound.  They havent' tried to hear a heart beat yet.  It may just be too early every baby i know is going to be different because everybody's body is different.  I just hope all works out..Please pray for me everyone I am headed to the hospital in an hour or so to get all checked out and will post a new one up here to inform you guys as to what was told to me.  Thank you for your answers they have all been very helpful.

I went to a pregnancy health clinic first and she told me everything seemed great no worries and to go see such and such doctor for prenatal care.  I have been seeing his nurse for the past 3 weeks.  At the pregnancy center 3 weeks and 1 day ago she told me I was 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant and the next day when i went to the doctor she said i wasn't quite 4 weeks pregnant from the way it looked...the first person's ultrasound calculated everything, but the second seems to not calculate and they try to figure it out theirselves. I am going to the hospital today to make sure everything is ok because i can't wait until june 11 to roll around for another doctor to see me.
