HCG Levels/HELP

[Babybaw4]

Hello Everyone... I just found out last week I am pregnant.. When they did my first Blood work it was 140 which confirmed I was.. Then I went in on that monday adn went to 540 I went in today for blood work and its 660, nurse had said to stop taking my prenatal vitamins and watch for Cramping or Bleedingm Ok so are you telling me I am having a M/S? She said to them HCG level should be doubled? Well she is going by the books and thinking it should be doubled. I am in-tune with my body so needless to say i was very upset and been crying  :crying:  how do you want me to take that? She had said that more than likely its not going to  be a healthy pregnancy :( I go in Sunday for more blood work and than they will see.. Anyone experience this.. Please let me know.. I am thinking Ok my levels arent dropping,,

Good luck tomorrow babybaw! I'm glad the two of you are going together.  I'll be praying for you tonight!

I am so sorry that this is happening to you!  I remember the frustration and anxiety when I went through it - it's not fair!

They are taking b/w every other day to see if your levels are doubling, rising or dropping!  That will be very indicative to them what is going on.  While it is true that low numbers have gone on to be healthy pregnancies, they still doubled.  That is the bigger indicator - not the actual number but that it is doubling!

They are doing a t/v us because it is still so early that an abdomenal one would only be grainy and wouldn't show anything.  They will be able to see the sac; inside the sac and if there is a fetal pole with the t/v us!  I think that they already saw that the sac was in your uterus, so a tubal pregnancy isn't their concern right now, I would guess.  They want to see if the baby is growing inside the sac.

I am keeping you in my prayers!  Good luck and God Bless...

Good luck tomorrow.  Thinking of you.

As hoping4_2 said, the transvag US will see if the pg is somewhere else besides the uterus.  That's how my ectopic was diagnosed.  Although they did see a type of mass outside my womb with the abdominal ultrasound.

The Transvaginal U/S will show if it is in your uterus, ovaries, or tubes. That's whay my Dr told me. That is probly what they are checking for every 2 days. They are probly looking to see if you have a lump in your tubes, but if you did you would feel it.

I sure will. Me and my husband are going tomorrow, dont understand why they keep taking blood every 2-days I just dont understand why do a Transvagional U/S 2-days later, unsure if they will see something. How can I tell them to double check make sure its not in my tubes.. Would a Abdominal U/S work.. I am so baffled and cant even get happy as I dont know what to do.. I will keep you posted

good for you for waiting!  I agree with wannababe-get all your questions ready for next time.  Just in case it isn't viable, I had a natural m/c in Feb. and honestly, it didn't hurt at all. I was a little over 6 weeks.  It was just sad.  But my body regained composure and I ovulated and had periods regularly right after that.
