I am hoping someone can give me some "I've been there/done that" good news. I am supposed 10 weeks pregnant. First positive home test was 4/8/10. I went to the OB on 4/30 for first appt. I had a little bleeding then and they sent me for an ultrasound. The US showed an egg sack, but no baby! The doc said that it was either an abnormal pregnancy or a miscarriage. Damn! My HCG level that day was 33,000 (pregnant) and 3 days later it was 3,400. Ok, so I resigned myself to miscarriage.
One week later, 5/7/10, the OB called and said my HCG level was rising again-5,500-meaning still pregnant. WTF! I am still bleeding (12 days). I took another home test and it was positive. I am having abdomen twinges, but no other symptoms of pregnancy.
Has this happened to anyone? It's my first pregnancy. My OB doesn't know what's going on. I have another ultrasound tomorrow.
Re: 10 weeks and bleeding
Polly, I am so sorry you're going through this! Especially on your first pregnancy... I have heard situations like yours where the mother would be told a variety of different things up until she delivered a healthy baby. At this point it's hard to tell.
I'm hoping that tomorrow comes quick for you and that you get more answers with your ultrasound. Keep us posted, T&P going your way.
