I feel like I’m at the end of my rope. My period has always been fairly regular, coming every 27-28 days. So of course I was confused when at the end of [name_f]October[/name_f] AF never showed. I took a few tests over the first two days because of shock and they were all positive, albeit faint. I went to urgent care and my blood test came back with an HCG level of 50. I started to bleed about two days after DH and I found out, lighter than a period but bright red and small clots. But I didn’t have any pain (and I still don’t have any pain.) The bleeding did stop after about a week, so I thought it was a miscarriage. When we went to see my OB, she couldn’t see anything but said it was early still and she wasn’t surprised, but it’s been three appointments now and she still can’t find anything in either my tubes or my womb. I’ve also been to the radiology department in my area, and they were also unable to see anything in either my tubes or womb.
This issue is, My HCG is still rising. The dates and my levels are:
10/27 - 50
10/30 - 61
11/06 - 290 something, it’s not written in the records they gave me
11/15 - 1185
I know the levels are really low, especially since I’m supposed to be 7 weeks. My OB and I discussed the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy, and she suggested I get a second opinion before we dissolve the pregnancy. I have another appointment with a different doctor on [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f], so I’m hoping to get some answers. I’m just struggling with ending a pregnancy that surprised us but is wanted because no one can find anything.
For my sanity’s sake, I feel like asking the internet might give me more honest answers than my family members. [name_f]TIA[/name_f].
