your Dr doesn't sound very good, seriously hun find someone else.
Blood tests can indicate a lot, if the HCG levels are rising then it IS a good indication that your pregnancy is continuing (blighted ovum excepted). If the HCG levels are falling then it means the pregnancy is no longer viable.
How long ago did you have your last US?
If you were in fact only 4 weeks when you had your US you may not see anything with your next US unless a fair amount of time has passed (usually two- three weeks). Still even then because things are soo small you may still not see anything.
At least having more bloods done you will get some peace knowing the hcg levels are rising.
I can't believe your Dr said such a thing to you, Bloods are the first thing all my Drs have ever ordered first, then depending on the results and only then, do they give me a referral for an US.
Well in any case - lets keep everything crossed for Tuesdays US, hoping so much that you see a little jellybean and HB.
My LMP was 5th of feb. my ultrasound was done on the 24th of March. (6 and 1/2 weeks after last missed period).
My 1st u/s was done this week, and the 2 u/s would be a week apart. So i'm hoping we see a black dot with another white dot in it.
I had the "second' period on the 15th feb and that lasted for around a week. (Therefore the u/s would be right to be 4 weeks if my ovulation was puched back two weeks also, this would also explain my low HCG as i would've found out I was pregant very early, probably about a week or so old.)
I'm going to do another HCG test next week regardless what the OB says. I wanted to wait a couple of weeks inbetween the blood tests as I really want to see a reuslt in the 10,000's. I think that'll put me at ease if i see that.
I know a girl that drinks like anything and smokes too and her hcg was 4000 at day 34 or so. It really upsets me when i try to do everything right and i only get low hcg results compared to others who don't look after themselves.
Good Girl, You gotta stand up sometimes and demand these things.
I really hope that you see something more than your last US, just don't be discouraged if you don't it may still be too early to see anything.
Yeah it sucks doesn't it, but then hcg levels have such a wide varient for each week any rise is good no matter how big it is. Everyone is different and every pregnancy you have will be different too.
I guess 3rd time not so lucky. Went to the OB just and there was bleeding in the get/sac and no baby. He said its unlikly it will proceed and its most likely going to miscarry. Got home and it started bleeding.
Thanks for all your support and advice. Hopefully I'll be able to report back soon with some good news.
