Bad news.

SeattleMomma · August 2013

So my doctor just called and said that my levels doubled again which is great right? No not really. She said that I should be 8-12wks with levels that high, which seems impossible my last period was July 11th. So this is no good my U/S is this afternoon but I think I already know the outcome.

staceyemd · August 2013

Sorry to hear that. Hoping for good news instead.

NicoleAnne416 · August 2013

So your levels are high and you should be at least 8 weeks but you're about 7 weeks? Or am I missing something and your levels are too low??

bingbongsmama · August 2013

Have you had an us? It could be twins? Or is she worried about an ectopic?

fireflygirl12 · August 2013

Maybe your July 11 period was actually implantation bleeding? I've heard of women actually being a full month ahead of where they thought they were because they had implantation bleeding and thought it was a period?

SeattleMomma · August 2013

My levels are high
18,000-36,547,68,000 currently
My doctor said with levels like that I should be 8-12wks which is impossible.

SeattleMomma · August 2013

Yes ma'am I had an ultrasound last week the sac was empty

bingbongsmama · August 2013

Sorry to hear that

Manda+panda · August 2013

FX all is ok. Keep us posted.

jap618 · August 2013

Yeah but multiples can make your numbers high too! It seems premature for them to be freaking you out, I'm sorry!!! FX for the best.

LEIGHLOVE09 · August 2013

I'm confused....what are your worried about? I don't see an issue with high levels other than it could mean twins...

jlrschmidt · August 2013

But that's not bad news, right? What is your Dr. concerned about? I've never heard of levels being TOO high.

SeattleMomma · August 2013

The sac is empty that's my consider and if I am "8-12wks" they should have most definitely seen a fetal pole last week.

rlmanning · August 2013

My fingers, eyes, toes and everything else is crossed for you that you come back with FANTASTIC news! Hang in there mama. It is not over yet.

nikki912 · August 2013

im sorry you are having to deal with this stress. FX that you get good news soon.

SeattleMomma · August 2013

I'm thinking Blight ovum but only the U/S today will confirm that.

kali55 · August 2013

Thinking about you and sending positive thoughts and prayers.

amhah09 · August 2013

Or molar pregnancy? I'm not sure what that would have looked like on your first ultrasound. M

Sorry to hear. Hope it's all okay though.

I do want to share this with you (it really helped me when I was questioning my HCG levels). It puts your 68,000 at 7 weeks as normal! Again, I don't want to be spewing magic fairy dust but I do want pass this along:

SeattleMomma · August 2013

Ill be 7 wks Thursday. My doctor didn't say blight ovum she just said that she's very curious to see my U/S results. Whatever that means..

Maymac18 · August 2013

Hanging by a thread!! Good luck and hugs!

GeorgiaWife12 · August 2013

Kristy774 · August 2013

Hmm.....I'm thinking and praying for you today. Just hang in there, you never know, be positive! I feel like her saying "she's curious" about seeing the ultrasound isn't awful news.....really hoping everything works out this afternoon.

Manda+panda · August 2013

I HATE WHEN DOCTOR'S SAY THINGS LIKE THAT! well, be interested, and keep your mouth shut, doc. I hope the outcome shocks you, and it's good news.

harleychic726 · August 2013

T & P are with you. I am so sorry you are going through this. Please keep us posted.

MamaFantastic · August 2013

it's not over yet... have faith!! if you're 6w5d today and at your u/s last week they showed a sac and nothing else, it's possible you will see a sweet little baby in there today. please keep us posted - i'm praying all goes well this afternoon!

If I'm not mistaken, you can't tell how far along a pregnancy is (accurately, anyway) by hcg numbers. If your LMP was July 11 you're 6.5ish weeks? This is what I get from americanpregnancy.org:

6 weeks LMP: 1,080 – 56,500 mIU/ml
* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE– every woman’s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

Your levels are apparently doubling and 68,000 isn't that much higher than 56,000. I wouldn't count yourself out yet. Hope everything turns out fine.

misskristina21 · August 2013

My Hcg number was not that much lower than yours, and we saw a healthy baby, with a heartbeat. I was 6w6d. And when I had my blighted ovum, my hcg number didn't double, it just would rise, but not double.

fiendelle · August 2013

T&P to you...I don't know much about levels, but high is a good thing, no? Keep us posted- thinking of you.

Kristy774 · August 2013

So I apologize if anyone else has asked this but could it be twins? Also, if they saw an empty sac is it normal for your HCG levels to continue to be high? This is confusing! What time is your appointment?

I'm so sorry you are going through this and I hope that this isn't your outcome.

I went through exactly this last April, my levels were increasing but the sac was completely empty. I truly hope that you can seen something on the u/s. Good luck and sending ((hugs))
