Everything crossed here too my love... :hug:
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
Thanks everyone :grouphug:
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! :hug: 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!
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.
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!!!
Lisa I am so sorry :hug: I hope you can get some answers soon from your dr :hugs:
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 ....
hey lisa
i dont know what to say.... but hang in there..... you have nothing to lose if you just wait.... dont give up hope until you have explored every avenue.......
thinking of you and your family big time
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
Today, I had more hCG tests done... and they came back at 620... they were 378 on Tuesday.:
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.
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.
Lisa, it sounds like they have ruled out an ectopic prg at this stage.:
There are no findings suggestive of ... extra-uterine pregnancy
I think while your hcg levels are still rising then there must be some hope!
Hang in there....
:hug:
Scooby and Willow... thanks so much for your replies :hug:
This whole not knowing business is driving me insane. I spend what time I should be spending with my husband, on the internet, looking up things that make me go to bed in tears. I just want an answer. I want someone to say to me "Lisa, congratulations on the tiny little bubba we can see on the ultrasound" or "Lisa, sorry, you have miscarried" or "Lisa, sorry but this is a molar pregnancy"... the only thing I know for definite is that there is no definite answer!!!
I am worried that if it is a molar pregnancy or a miscarriage, that leaving the D&C for so long isn't such a good thing.
Considering that this is my 5th pregnancy... I feel like I know nothing about pregnancy right now... I am feeling so lost and confused :(
Lisa i really feel for you , it sounds so bad but when they said i was going to mc i was alomst relieved, sad but relieved, 4 weeks of ups and downs drives you insane it is so painful, i didnt want to say anything or talk to anyone and yes i sat on the internet looking for all the answers which realy werent there. The only thing i learnt is that everyone is so different as is every pregnancy. I'm sorry going into the ectopic thing, but it terrified me after to think that it went on noticed and what the concequences were if it hadnt been discovered, even when by HCG jumped up they were going to leave it over the weekend and have the scan on monday, but like Willow says at least it has been ruled out so i am sorry for worrying you. I know nothing i say will make you feel better, i am just so sorry you are experiencing this pain. Sending big hugs and know i'm here if you need an ear.:hugs:
Hi Scooby,
Don't be sorry hun... one of the things that I was told that was a definite is that it isn't an ectopic pregnancy.
I just don't know if it is a pregnancy at all! I understand what you meant in regards to being almost relieved to miscarry, as much as I would be so sad, just having an answer would help me... not knowing is so so so hard right now... I don't know if I should be grieving or if I should be happy.
I know exactly what you mean and i must admit i still feel abit that way, i mean i'm grateful i can still concieve with one tube and am happy about that, but today i was thinkin i'd be 8 weeks today and then i get so sad again. Its a horrible, evil rollercoaster, lets just hope and pray its worth it in the end :pray: When i was going through the waitng to find out bit we had family out from the UK and i was having to go out with them everyday, and i know they didnt mean to but they said the most stupid things to me and i ended up an absolute wreck by the end of the day i'd go home and ball my eyes out (my poorDH) and my son who is 4 was like 'whats wrong mummy" and you feel like your letting everyone down, i dont know how many times i apologised, i guess i'm abit of a control freak. and of course they said no gym and no golf so i was totally lost with no other focus, it really does suck. Please talk and vent as much as you need on here because in the mean tiome i think it is the best solution (and it stops you googling:lol:) take care and big hugs!!!!
Thinking of you Lisa - the not-knowing must be so awful. hang in there, hoping you will get a nice surprise soon

Hi Lisa,
I'm so sad for you and your family. The same sort of thing happened to me three weeks ago (10 weeks pg). I wish I had have found this forum while I had my 7 days of agonising unknowing and waiting. It is great that u seem to have such great friends here to give u support. I felt like I couldnt face the world too, I understand how u feel :(
The day before it was confirmed that our baby had died, I went and picked out some socks, just so it felt like our baby was real and not imagined. I also kept the hospital bracelet, the ultrasound notes and pathology results. I'm so glad I did, as they r the ony tangible things that remain.
My heart breaks to think that you and your family are going through this. I pray that everything works out perfectly for your tiny baby. All the best. x
Julie.
Oh Lisa - Im so sorry you have to go through this. As you already know life can really try to sink the boots in sometimes. I so hope everything works out for you and at your next ultrasound they say you have a healthy little bubba kicking around. But either way, I hope you get some answers really soon so you can work out how to feel and not sit in limbo. :hug: for you and also :crossfingers:
Hi lisa
im so sorry for what you are going through right now. It must be so confusing for you and with no answers you don't know what to think. I would say if your HCG is rising and you are having no bleeding, those are things that are in your favour. As previously suggested they recommend u/s when beta hcg is over 1000 as anything under that is usually not seen, Im hoping this is the case for you. best of luck and let us know how you go
I went out shopping today with my DH and he bought me 4 gorgeous tops to cheer me up a little... he is such a sweetheart.
We went to my Mum's house where we watched the V8's... and I started to feel uncomfortable... not sore, just uncomfortable real low in my belly.
When we got home, I discovered I have started to bleed again...
****TMI ALERT****
The bleeding started off as being brown... like old blood brown... then it turned to a gravy color and consistency... now it is a pinkish/orange color... and it is fairly constant now... I have put a pad on to keep an eye on the amount... if need be, I will go to the hospital tonight, but I would rather wait until tomorrow because I have to travel 40+kms along a busy highway with semi's... it can get scary.
I am just worried about what is happening to my body :(
Oh Lisa :( That is so sad to hear. I'm still praying for you, your baby and your family, and hoping that it is just an implant bleed. Let us know how u go. Good luck tonight.
I hope you are OK. Please let us know how you went.
Hey Lisa
Just wanted to let you know i'm thinking of you and hoping andpraying that all we be well. Big hugs, look after yourself. :hug::hug::hug::hug:
Lisa, I just wanted to see how you are going and to let you know I am thinking of you :hug:
I hope we hear some news from you soon sweetie. :crossfingers:
Thanks once again to everyone for their support and kindness :grouphug:
I'm not really up to writing at the moment. I have written everything here
Thanks again everyone... words truly can't express how grateful I am for all your support.
Lisa
