Bleeding and cramping last night...

So I know spotting 'can' be normal in pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, but last night something felt wrong. I work at the hospital next to the maternity hospital that I chose my OB at. I was at work so I went over to their maternity ER. I had a repeat hCG drawn and an u/s.

My beta was great : 3,161 up from 709 on Thursday.

My u/s: empty sac. The doctor says that their definitive hCG level for seeing a yolk sac or fetal pole is 3,400. I measured about 5 weeks. Slightly behind.

So my discharge papers say "Pregnancy in unknown location". Lovely.

I have a follow up u/s booked tomorrow at 4:30pm EST. My beta should be about 6,800 by then so she said if there's no yolk sac then it's either a blighted ovum or a pseudo-sac from an ectopic. Again.

The clock is ticking so loudly today....

    Oh Hon.  It's always so distressing to hear stuff like that.  It's still very early and just a few days can make all the difference in the world.  Hang in there.  I am praying that you get good news tomorrow.

    Oh man, I was in your shoes w/Harmon.  I thought for sure I was m/c w/all the blood!  But I wasn't Big Smile  It took another week to get that shot we wanted but it was okay.  Hang in there and don't give up hope.  That BETA is excellent and I've a great feeling for you Smile
