Lisa, I hope evrything is ok! The same thing happened to me. I got a blood test early on because I had a bad chest infection and needed antibiotics and chest x-ray. Anyway bloods came back negative so took abs and had x-ray. A week later I amost passed out in shops, so I took home preg test it was positive! Went back to Dr, had more bloods. Then I started bleeding. Went back to Dr who sent me for urgent u/s. They couldn't see anything on u/s so said I had a m/c. Was really depressed so we went away for a week camping. Then when I came back had more bloods to make sure I had a complete mc and that hcg was dropping. Well hcg was through the roof so now they said I had an ectopic preg and had to have another urgent u/s. Was the best moment when during the u/s the sonographer showed me my baby's heartbeat!! I cried for days!! Apparently I must have ovulated late so was very early preg for first u/s. Anyway I did bleed some more but my gorgeous bubba is now a healthy 4mth old!

I hope it all works out for you and your bubba has just been hiding!!! Fingers crossed!

Lisa, glad to hear your hcg came back up! So happy for you! here's hoping your u/s is fine today

[Lisa]

Thanks everyone

Well today I had my ultrasound... I was so PO'ed because the sonographer sent my DH out while she performed it, because she said she was distracted by Harrison... Harrison was just sitting there with his Daddy, cooing away like he does... anyway, she told him to leave while I was emptying my bladder for the transvaginal scan!!! I was so upset!!!
Anyway, she put the probe in, and straight away told me there was nothing there... and then she said sorry (yeah right)
I started to cry. She continued looking around, while I stared at a hole in the ceiling, think about how that hole was like my uterus... dark and empty.
I haven't heard back from my GP yet... I will contact him tomorrow. I just don't know where I go from here. The sonographer mentioned that my GP may want to do a series of HCG's before deciding what to do.
Argh!!! I am just so sad... I am sorry if nothing here is making sense. I am crying in here because I don't want to upset my children right now until we know 100% what is going on.
Thanks once again everyone for your support, guidance and kindness... it truly means the world to me right now.
Lisa

Lisa I'm so so sorry! I know how you feel - When I went in for my 7 week scan and they said there was nothing in there (the scan was brought forward due to bleeding) I stayed as strong as I could until I broke down and cried on my DFs mum shoulder *hugs* I'm so sorry!

[mumstar]

Lisa,

My heart goes out to you. I am truly sorry for your loss. Remember there are lots of friends here who will always listen. Please take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry it's turned out like this. The next couple of weeks will be very difficult while you wait to see what your HCG does, hopefully it will go down now. If it stays up or continues to climb remember that there are other ladies here who have had molar pregnancies and they will be able to offer you guidance and support.

[Lisa]

I am freaking myself out by reading things about molar pregnancies and cancer
I don't even know what type of pregnancy this is right now!!! This is awful... I really feel cr@ppy tonight too... almost like I am getting a cold.
I am wondering if I should just stuff it all and have a D&C, or if I should wait and see what happens... there has been no change in my uterus in 5 days, so I guess that isn't a good sign.
I just wish I knew what to do!!!

[Lynn]

Lisa I am so sorry I hope you can get some answers soon from your dr :hugs:

[PlonkeeMumma]

I'm so sorry Lisa, hope you get your answers soon. Thinking of you

Lisa I am so sorry hun

It must be truly awful not knowing for sure one way or another.

Sounds like your experience with that sonographer left a lot to be desired which makes my blood boil. That was one thing about my experience, at least the lady who did mine showed some compassion.

I will be thinking of you ....

[smylie]

love kelly

I have no idea what is going on... and my Dr doesn't seem to know either. These are the results from yesterday's ultrasound

Obstetric Ultrasound
Clinical Notes: PV bleeding with positive beta hCG.

Report: Both transabdominal and transvaginal scans were performed. The uterus is anteverted and bulky. It measures 8.8 x 5.6 x 7cms. The endometrial stripe is thickened and shows several small cystic areas. No definite gestational sac was visible.
Both ovaries are of normal size and show normal volumes. There is no free fluid in the cul-de-sac or any adnexal mass.
There are no findings suggestive of an intra or extra-uterine pregnancy and a correlation with beta hCG levels is suggested.

Today, I had more hCG tests done... and they came back at 620... they were 378 on Tuesday.
My GP has recommended that I have another ultrasound done in a fortnight and have more hCG testing done next week. He seems to think that this is not a molar pregnancy.

I am so confused!!!! I just wish I knew where I stood!!!

Hey Lisa
Sorry ive only just been reading through this thread, but ive just had a very similar senerio to you (have a read at my posts), make sure they keep a really close eye on you. My HCG levels went up really slow and then had a slight decrease (440), which is when they told me i would mc, a week later my hcg was 1600. They did a scan and i had an ectopic. I truly hope and pray were not in the same boat, but please make sure they do every test and scan they need to. In a big vote of confidence some people start with really low hcg and go on to have very healthy pregnancies so hang in there. They told me you will not see anything by ultrasound till HCG are well over 1000. Also when i had my son i had a scan at 6 weeks and they told me to go home and wait to mc, as heart beat was too low and there was alot of internal bleeding, hes now 4 years old. Please know if you need to talk i'm here. iknow the wait is excrutiating. Keep in touch. sending big hugs, thinking of you.
