When I found out I was pregnant, I had an u/s the next day because I was high risk for ectopic due to blocked tubes from endometriosis. I was 5 weeks and the sonographer picked up the sac in my uterus but that's all they needed to see to confirm it wasn't in my tube. I then had to go back a couple of weeks later for another scan to check for heartbeat/viability. So, yes at 5 weeks they should be able to see the sac even though you won't be able to see the baby/heartbeat yet.
Hi girls, so I thought I would give you the update. I seem to still be bleeding. Weird thing is I bleed once a day. Once I wipe and clean it up it stops, but it happens once a day. Very confused about this?? the blood is never enough to be suspected as a M/C.
I went to see the specialist yesterday, I had a HCG test on the 22nd and it was 178, I had a blood test on the 27th and it was 715.
The specialist said that he wants to wait until Monday the 2nd so I can have another U/S and blood work as he is not convinced that the mass is the baby in the tube (eptopic). That it could be a cyst or a number of other things. He has said the likeness of it being eptopic or a complication is quite high but not to rule out that everything may be ok.
He also said that until your HCG levels are over 1500 it is not likely to see anything on the U/S, so hopefully by monday my levels continue to go up (this will be the indication that there is an issue or not)
Im still having pain and the bleeding so I am still very worried.
I also asked him if I am taking any risks by waiting until monday and he said that if the baby is in the tube there will be damage anyway. He also said that if I feel extreme pain to go straight to hospital.
Any insight on this? I would love to hear what you girls think?
That sounds pretty okay to me... I know the waiting is difficult. Is the pain constant? Is it severe? Is it worse when your bladder is full? The rise in hcg is a really good thing. Now I am afraid it is the waiting game... All my love and lots of hugs my love...
