How was the ultrasound?

carmelbride05 · November 2011

You're sweet to check in. It wasn't good. Couldn't see anything in my uterus, but also couldn't see anything in my tubes. I am still very confused, because even if the outcome is that this will not be a healthy normal pregnancy that will progress, where is "it"? And now, what?! They drew another beta on me today. And based on todays results and of course how I am feeling may do another US on monday. I know you say to be happy now, but it is so hard for me because the outcome appears so grim - natural m/c, methotrexate, d & c. so so slim for it to be normal.

it is so hard and believe me i never took my own advice! It could just be so small the can't see it anywhere..

So they are seeing nothing though? like no sac either?

Just got a call from the doctor and betas are still rising - 2553, but not rising where we want them to be. They didn't see a sac or anything.

He thinks that it isn't developing normal and likely result in a miscarriage, but tubal isn't out of the question. He said that he has been wrong before, but not looking good. He will have me draw blood on Monday and US on Tuesday morning. This is so hard. I don't really understand the "science" of it either. He said it is likely in my uterus, but too small to see.

I'm so sorry. In terms of the science, the level of HCG usually has to be above 3K for there to be anything visible on u/s. I'm sorry things aren't more clear for you.
