Sad and confused
Background: had ectopic about 10 years ago, end result, removed of one Fallopian tube.
Went to my OB last Monday (I was 4 weeks 5 days) because of some cramping I was having. Had an ultrasound, showed gestational sac with nothing in it. OB assured everything was fine and it was just too early to see anything. Had blood work done to measure my HCG. That day my HCG levels where 100 something, went back two days later on Wednesday, HCG levels had rose to 400 something. Went in yesterday for another ultrasound. Gestational sack present no yolk sac or fetal pole present. OB informed me that the gestational sac was still the same size it was the week before and it now looks irregular. Blood work done yesterday out my HCG levels at 4300. OB said with levels that high we should see something in the sac. She's saying that I'm having a blighted ovum.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen. What was the outcome? I go back for more blood work tomorrow and then another ultrasound next Tuesday. I've only experienced the cramping which is slight, no spotting/bleeding.
I'm starting to give up hope :(
