Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing well and having a great start to their happy and healthy 9 months! I am hopping over from the 2nd trimester boards to ask a quick question.
My friend got a positive pregnancy test, but they were not sure how far along she was. Her HCG was around 50,000 when they took it so they sent her for an ultrasound. At first they were unable to find any pregnancy so they worried about ectopic, but another doctor took a look and was able to see a very small gestational sack in the uterus and no baby inside.
The next day her HCG was about 70,000. The doctors told her she is waiting to miscarry and they will do a follow up ultrasound in a week to see if she needs D and C.
I was wondering if there is any chance that she is just too early and the baby will still develop, or if by 50,000-70,000 the baby would 100% be there? Why are her numbers still rising so much daily if she is going to lose the baby?
Thanks for any insight
