Hello all,
I'm new here but have been looking through the boards for about a week now and you all seem to be the most helpful. I'm having slow to rise HCG levels. I was sent to the ER for slight cramping to rule out ectopic and they did see a sac in my uterus but it was only 2x2x2 mm. That was on 12/18. My periods are all over the place but I'm pretty sure I O'd between 11/28-12/1 and I didn't get a positive test until 12/14. We've been trying for 2 years so this is long awaited for us and this is my 2nd pregnancy (dd is almost 9).
Anyways, here are my last few HCG tests:
12/18: 377
12/20: 536
12/22: 786
12/24: 938
12/27: 1536
I had an ultrasound on 12/26 and it showed the sac had grown to 4x6x6 and is still empty. I have a bicornuate and tilted uterus. I think maybe it's just too soon to see anything.
The ER OB/GYN was terrible and made me feel awful. She said that there is no way this is viable and that I need to give up and "get on the same page" as her and decide to have a D&C or get a shot to abort the pregnancy. She kept telling me her "gut feeling". However, another doctor today said that there may still be hope since my last HCG went up 65% in 72 hours. She checked my cervix today and said it is high, hard and closed. I've had some spotting off and on mixed with CM but she said it's mostly old blood. She also said to hang on to hope but my chances of miscarriage are still really high.
So, I guess I just wanted to put my story out there and see if maybe someone can relate. I'm really looking for some kind of hope to hang on to right now. They said if I am only 5 weeks the numbers and US seem to match up, but they keep telling me I am 7+4 based on my LMP (which I know isn't right because my periods are so long and I know the day DH and I DTD - 11/28).
Oh they also started me on Crinone 8% suppositories due to low progesterone.
Any thoughts, hopes, prayers or experiences? Thank you all in advance.
