between week 5 and 6 bleeding for a week, and HCG tested about 6000, location of the embryo is lower than it should be

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone had the similar experience? I kept bleeding since last Sunday and get hcg tested this Wednesday around 6000, and ultrasound shows the location of the embryo is lower than it should be. MY dr cannot not declare whether it is a miscarriage yet and I am asked to do another ultrasound and blood work next Monday. It is so draining. Does anyone have the similar experience?

Hi Alice 6000 HCG is v good for 5 to 6 week pregnant but not sure about location of the embryo as you can ask from your GP

Did he check whether your cervix was still closed? Was there a fetal pole or heartbeat? If they are present then things sound normal? I’ve only ever heard of “low” embryos being an issue when a miscarriage is about to start as the body pushes it closes to the cervix ready to remove?

Really hope you get good news at your next appointment x

Thank you Ivfgotadream, you asked great questions. I got it checked this Monday and the sack was not there anymore. It is a miscarriage. The problem now is continuous bleeding. Need to get it checked if there is any tissue left there causing bleeding. thank you for your message again xxx
