What Is Happening to Me? the Doc Is As Confused As I Am!

Hi am am new to this forum, so I hope I am
doing this right. I really hope someone
out there can give me some advice. I
took an over the counter pregnancy test
about 3 weeks ago. 3 tests to be exact
and all had the faint positive line. I
then scheduled an appt. With my doc. And
he did blood test to confirm and had a
vaginal ultra sound done. The first
blood work came back with my hormone
levels at 200, but nothing was found on
the ultra sound. I am and have been
bleeding the whole 3 weeks, so he
continued to take blood test to make sure
my levels were increasing. So far they
are up to 827. My emotions are crazy, my
breast kill and have grown 1 size already.
These are all signs of being pregnant
right??
Today I went in for another ultra sound
and nothing was found. Doc. Said I may
have miscarried but I may have not
miscarried. So they did another blood
test to see where my levels are now. I
don't get an answer till tomorrow. All
of this questioning and waiting is killing
me. This pregnancy wasn't exactly
planned and I am very scared. It is my
first and I was hoping some one could
relate or offer some advice. Why am I
bleeding? Why can't they find anything
on the ultra sound???

Could it possibly be a chemical pregnancy?
Sorry I don't know what else to tell you

I don't wanna be a downer but that
happened to me before and I was
miscarrying. I bled for about 2 weeks
and then the rest came out in a blob and
they had to do a d&c. Other than
maybe go see another doc I don't really
know what to tell you. Good luck though!

Hey. Sorry, I don't have any def answers
for you. A lot of strange things can and
do happen during preg. How far along
should you be? My girlfriend just had
probs with hcg levels. They were
dropping, but after a few days they
started to rise again and everything is
fine now. I just wanted to tell you it
is possible that you are still preg and
will have a perfectly healthy baby. Keep
us posted. Take care.

Hey hun,
i have been through this. Ok to try and
explain the blood test are suppose to
double and triple in numbers every 2 days.
That is why the doc will do like 2 or 3
repeated blood quanitive test in 1 weeks
time. The reason they might not be seeing
anything you still might be to early.
They normally cant see anything until like
6 to 7 wks, when they are doing the u/s
are they saying anything about a sac at
all, but nothing in there, because at this
point that will be normal. Now if you
keep bleeding that is a sign of mis. But
not a def sign. It is really hard to
know for sure until you reach those wks to
know if you have had a as what they call
it a spontanios mis. Good luck hun and im
here if you need to talk

a pregnancy is called a chemical pregnancy
if you test positive for pregnancy but
start you period a few days later.

hi thank you for your response at least I
know i'm not alone. According to my last
period 12-13-04 I should be what 5-6 weeks
along?? I have heard that this isn't the
most accurate way of detecting conception.
On both ultra sounds they haven't found
a sack or anything else. I just hope
tomorrow brings good news. I haven't had
any cramping or clumps either. Did you
have both? Did they do an ultra sound on
you. I think about getting a second
opinion but I don't think my insurance
will cover it. Also I was on birth
control pill when I concived could this
cause problems?

The tings to watch out for are ectopic
pregnancies or hydatidiform moles. But
either of those should be ruled out if
your hormone levels are stabilizing by
tomorrow's test.
