hcg 11449 & no yolk sac or fetal pole

[law1130]

Hello everyone, I went to the ER on Sept 8th for cramping. The pregnancy test was positive. However, when the U/S was done the Doctors couldn't see a pregnancy. My hcg level was 578. They have been monitoring my levels ever since. On Sept 17th my Hcg level was 11449 and when the tech conducted the U/S they saw a gestational Sac but NO yolk sac or fetal pole. Supposedly, according to the U/S I was 5wks & 1day.  Because of this the doctors scheduled me for a D&C tomorrow.  
What should I do? I mean, this has never happened to me before.  I have never had a miscarriage. Should i go ahead with the procedure or should I go for a second opinion?  HELP... I'm desperate!

You should get tests for home use to see if your hormones are increasing. I'm hoping for the best!

Hi everyone,  I followed everyones advise & didn't go through the D&C.  I'm just confused as to when I should go back for a second opinion. last friday I was 5w1d so today I should be 6wks.

With both my pregnancies they didn't even want to see me until I was atleast 8 weeks, Because before then it is hard to see anything. I would wait until you are atleast 8 weeks I know how hard that is trust me! But it will be worth it in the end.

Hi, I would go back at 6.5-7 weeks for u/s. If you don't see the fetal pole there, then the chances that you are still pregnant are slim. Then you can schedule D&C. That's what happened to me. At 5 weeks, they saw only a sac. At 6.5 weeks they didn't see a heartbeat and told me that I have no baby inside. Still, we waited another week to make sure nothing is there. ONLY THEN, at 7.5 weeks, they scheduled a D&C. At actual procedure few days later ( I was 8 weeks by then), they did the sonogram one more time and only then the procedure. So schedule another sonogram at about 7 weeks. Also, the symptoms can still be there :(
