6 week ultrasound no pregnancy identified Hcg 4100

[Rainbowretrieval]

Hi guys. Me again! I know how naive this sounds and need to come to terms with the inevitable but has anyone else found themselves in the position of having a 6 week scan and no baby found but Hcg of over 4100 and it wasn’t ectopic? Having bloods again in 2 days and they’ve told me to continue with the progesterone so is there any hope???

Hi rainbow retrieval, this happened to me, the sonographer seemed confused as there was no sac but something was there and my hcg came back pregnant. I was 6 weeks pregnant at the time. Unfortunately it was an early miscarriage for me and I started bleeding quite soon after the scan. I'm so sorry your going through this uncertainty xx

Sorry to hear you went through this. Sometimes you’d just prefer closure wouldn’t you. Plus I have a terrible phobia of having blood taken too 😢

Thanks Janet. We have illness in my family which is taking priority so it’s only my partner I can speak to at the moment x

Is there any sign of a sac at all?

[Rainbowretrieval in reply to Winc20]

she said she couldn’t find anything anywhere 😔

[Winc20 in reply to Rainbowretrieval]

Oh I do hope the bloods will give some answers and closure, and sooner rather than later - sending lots of love, it’s the most gruelling journey ever xxx

[Rainbowretrieval in reply to Winc20]

thanks, finding out today hoping not an ectopic as don’t think can cope with an op of any kind…

Sadly not - my pregnancy was pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) it was hiding top of my right tube, I’m surprised with that hcg level and the fact they couldn’t find the pregnancy that they sent you away and said continue progesterone. You really do not want to be supporting a non viable pregnancy especially with an ectopic. I ended up having surgery to remove mine…I had similar hcg levels to yours. Hope yours is a better outcome. Xx

[Rainbowretrieval in reply to DG2022]

that’s why I went away confused, I’d kind of come to terms with it when waiting for the bloods to come back. I said I assume I should stop my injections, she went to speak to a doctor and they said to stay on it until I have bloods tomorrow. Bizarre really, and just prolonging the agony for me…

[Rainbowretrieval in reply to DG2022]

so sorry about what you went through, hope you’re recovering both physically and mentally from it x

[DG2022 in reply to Rainbowretrieval]

thank you. I’m doing okay I haven’t been hit by it all yet. Xx

[Rainbowretrieval in reply to DG2022]

Just take all the time you need and think of yourself. I’ve taken some time off work this week with stress as we have illness in the family too, so that’s all my manager needs to know. First time I’ve ever done it but feel better for just being able to zone out and focus on myself x

[DG2022]

I ended up telling my boss as only started a new job beginning of the year so felt guilty taking the time off. As soon as I mention it she was really supportive. Sorry to hear about family illness. My father in law passed away last September. It’s so difficult 😞 hope you have good support around you xx

[Rainbowretrieval in reply to DG2022]

Sorry to hear that about your father in law. Sure it must feel extra cruel when you’re wanting to grow a family and it’s a very difficult journey and feels like someone is missing. I’ve not been able to tell anyone about what we’re going through as I can’t risk my family finding out with everything else that’s going on, but I’m trucking on x

[DG2022]

yeah we really wanted to give him a grandchild 😞 so sad. Thinking of you xx
