Anyone else has this. Early scan, nothing on it. 4 positive HPT & Digi +1-2 weeks

[oh_socold]

I got positive tests very dark and very early. I hadn't even missed a period and hadn't had a period for a month prior so I had no clue when I ovulated all I knew was I was eating lentils like i would die without them and I hate lentils...that and drinking vinegar...so I peed on a stick. Came back super positive. A week later I got terrible pain in my right side and had a big lump buldge and couldn't move my leg so I went to the er. They scanned me and made me pee in a cup positive for pregnancy and they wanted to make sure it wasn't ectopic. She tried for about an hour to see the baby via ultrasound on my belly but eventually went transvaginal and that took another hour and she couldn't find my ovaries nothing. She didn't say nething to me though. When they got my results (my bed was right by the nursing desk) I heard them laughing about how could I have known I was pregnant its only a little dot barely visible. Apparently they could see nothing for along time and had to try every which way. What wound up happening was I had a huge cyst in my ovary from the follicle and I was in fact pregnant but it took her two plus hours to find it. I was about six week and apparently it was barely visible so if your only a week late I wouldn't be too worried. See how the blood comes back and they'll probably scan you again to make sure. Ironically every scan since our nugget is a week bigger than its supposed to be. At 8 we were measuring at 9 so then we counted from 9 then at 12 we were measuring at 13 plus. Which is two weeks off the original dates...lol weird stuff but don't let them worry you.

I am currently sat crying my eyes out.

Dr finally called a minute ago, and first had a go at me for wanting the dr to call me back again, saying "I left a voicemail!" and I said "I didn't get one" and he said "Is this Dawn..." and I said no it's Sarah, and he then went "Okay, well, explain whats going on" so I did and he went "Well your hcg level is 23 so you are not pregnant" and I went "But what about all the positive tests?" and he said he can't explain it... and that was it. He just said sorry and bye.

So confused and lost. Don't understand any of it.

Just did other digital and it said "pregnant 1-2"? I don't get it!

aw honey dont cry!!

first off, he's a douche for being so blunt. secondly, you honestly will have to wait! its a horrid thing to have to do, but you're only JUST pregnant.. HCG has not had enough time to register. Enough for a peestick, but not for levels or scans.

So. DEEP BREATH sweetheart. You gotta test only every three days. So far you havent had bleeding or cramping or anything, bubba is still brand new and just making himself at home

Test again on WEDNESDAY - put DOWN the peesticks!!! If its still pregnant/stronger line then you need to ask a DIFFERENT doctor. xxxx

Chin up, stop stressing and let your body do its work xxx

 

[leahsbabybump]

wow that is so awful of him
sorry your going through this hun
if your hcg level is 23 i though that could mean you are/have been pregnant pregnant i was told that if hcg level is 5 or above then could mean pregnancy or menopause im guessing your old enough for a menopause :-/
im sorry i have no advice for you hun other than i seen this site online its american dont know if its trusted or not but it does say a hcg test of 25 or more is posotive pregnancy test hears link to site https://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/hcglevels.html
could you ring the hospital back and speak to someone else about this the doctor sounds like a rite nob head mind my french insensetive wanker didnt even know who he was talking too :-/

 

[LostAndAlone]

i was 5 weeks at my first scan and it was an internal as they couldnt see anything scanning my stomach and all they could see internally was the sac so i think its just been too early for them to see anything

 

[dawno]

If I were in your position I would definitely keep testing and then see a different doctor. He obviously was confused about which patient he was talking to (called you by the wrong name). He could have been giving you that Dawn's BHCG. Good luck!

 

[leahsbabybump]

griffin h is right as hard as it is hun you need to put the tests down and try and put it to the back of your mind for 3 days then on weds test with your first urine as soon as you get out of bed before you drink anything as the wee will be the strongest hun please dont cry

 

[xpatchx]

It just doesn't make any sense. All the charts I've read say anything from 14-21 days since conception could be 23 miu. Not gonna bother testing any more, not gonna bother thinking about it any more. If I am then surely the tests'll keep coming up so will do what you said and test again on Wednesday

From Conception From LMP mIU/ML or IU/L
7 days 3 Weeks 0 - 5
14 days 28 days 3 to 426
21 days 35 days 18 to 7,340
28 days 42 days 1080 to 56,500
35 - 42 days 49 - 56 days 7,650 to 229,000
43 - 64 days 57 - 78 days 25,700 to 288,000
57 - 78 days 79 - 100 days 13,300 to 253,000
17-24 weeks 2nd Trimester 4060 to 65,400
25 weeks - birth 3rd Trimester 3640 to 117,000
Several Days After Baby - < 5

I would see a different doctor, how rude and unprofessional of him, my doctor told me if its over 5 then they would class that as pregnant, I would keep monitoring your hpt's and arrange a visit with a different doctor xxxxx

 

[TattyHead]

Could it be possible he's got you confused with the other patient & thinks your further along than you are?
I would make a complaint about that doc too, what an Arse
Ring the hospital back & ask for your results again if the doc's seen them then they should be able to tell you the results without him being there.
Your still getting so try not to worry too much...I think he's just being a goon!

My husband thinks that they won't give result snow because it will be them over riding a doctors decision. Going to go to doctors tomorrow and ask her to call and get the results. She's fantastic and always tries her best to get answers immediately!

I know I'm grasping at straws but I'm hoping he read the wrong results.

Hi my friend has just had same, she did a test and went to docs had a scan nothing but lining thickened. They put her through 4 weeks of anxiety saying nothing there when actually it was too early her lining had thickened at right time..next scan there was a sac ..next time a heartbeat......at one point docs wanted to do surgery to remove saying it hadnt grown...she now has an 8 week little one growing just as it should be. x

that is horrific she ought to complain about that they could have taken her little bean away from her im flabbergasted :-/

That doctor sounds like a Grade A Plank.

HCG is detectable in urine before anything is visible on the scan, because HPT's are so sensitive! With BHCG of 23, you need a follow up scan in a couple of weeks, or at the very least a follow up blood draw.

When I went for an early scan I was 6 weeks but the hospital called it 7 weeks because they were unaware of my late ovulation. I did see a bean but it was hard to find and my gest sac was HUGE, which made them think the pregnancy was going wrong. Follow up scan proved them wrong. What I'm saying is we are all different, and I bet in a couple of weeks you'll see a sac and a little beanie in there. Its in NHS guidlines that no early pregnancy should be called nonviable without at least 2 scans or a series of blood draws and a scan or two. Bad doctor!

If I were you I would call the doctor back and ask what he is basing his opinion on when the general rule is that nothing will be visible on a scan until HCG is over 1000...and the sensitivity of the clearblue test you used is around 25 miu/ml. Then call your local hospital and ask to be put through to the EPAU and tell them the whole story, they will most likely have you in for bloods and although its usually a dr referral that gets you in there, they do have the power to decide to see you without a referral- they saw me without a referral because I called and explained myself and that I have o decent relationship with any gp's.

Try not to worry (easier said than done) one day at a time is the best way to get through the worrying bit.

 

[xpatchx]

Hey Lozdi - it was the epau that did the scan and the blood draw The tech there who did the ultrasound just told me I wasn't pregnant but they'd do bloods, and the bloods came back the same!
Still not positive he hasn't read someone elses results, seeing as he kept calling me dawn, then he hung up and called again saying "Hi Dawn"

:S

 

[xpatchx]

He also asked what it was I'd had had before, an ectopic or something else (forget what the other thing was) and I've had neither! :S

They wouldn't be over riding the doctor by giving you the results, you have a right to any/all results, & if he has given you someone else's result you can just double check.....Ring them & say:

'Just to confirm, what were my blood results? I can't remember what the doctor said.'

The other possibility is that the blood results are correct but he had the case file of the other patient & she may have been further along so the small amount would show a decrease (miscarriage).

I don't think your grasping at straws at all

Ask your GP to put in a complaint on your behalf too, because getting your name wrong whilst dealing with sensitive stuff like this is inexcusable ! If any of us were in the same position we'd be freaking out right now. It's not fair on you or OH.

I hope it gets sorted soon.

 

[claireybell]

Ah ur def pg i would say & normal scans hardly show up anything that early, vaginal ones are usually better! Thick lining is definate good sign aswell x

This guy is a complete grade A TOOL!!
I hate him for you, lol.

 

[Lozdi]

Goodness me! You'd think that being EPAU staff they wouldn't be so blooming insensitive and inadequate! They sound terribly disorganized when I was at my local EPAU they never ever told me anything without first confirming my name and date of birth. You should complain, because if people don't complain then it won't get sorted out.
