Just got off the phone with my dr. and since my blood test on wed showed that my hcg went from 37,00 on fri to 50,000 on wed. This is getting so frustrating. I know on the ultrasound there was no heartbeat or blood flow and i was told i would miscarry soon but now this rising hcg level makes me feel like maybe theres a small chance to baby could be alive. I'm suppose to take the medication to make me miscarry on sunday. This whole thing is so confusing!

Part of me wants another ultrasound. The other part of me doesn't want to keep dragging out the inevitable. I don't know I'm torn. In my ultrasound the fetus definately didn't look normal. I told my dr. on the phone that i was concernned that maybe i am still pregnant since my levels are rising. She ensured me that it was not a healthy viable pregnany and that there definately would have been a heart beat with that high of hcg levels.
If you want another ultrasound to be 100% sure, then I say by all means ask for it. It will provide you with reassurance that you should or should not go ahead with the meds.
I can tell you from my own experience that my hcg levels kept rising even though my baby didn't have a heartbeat at 2 appointments that were 2 weeks apart. My dr told me the levels rose and i still had all the pregnancy symptoms because my body didn't realize yet that I wasn't pregnant anymore. I opted for a D & C because I couldn't stand waiting to mc on my own.
Good luck to you. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.
I still have all my symptoms too. This is so confusing. I guess it doesn't make since to me how my body still wouldn't realize I wasn't pregnant. I would be 10wk 2d today and the fetus measured at 7 wk.
