Okay so I don't like chiming in on stuff like this. However, I will share a story. When I had my IUD I had unbareable pain, I couldn't sit, stand or walk. Any and all tests done by ER and OB determined everything was fine. I wasn't fine, I felt like I had a knife instead of an IUD. I am sure there were nurses or docs that didn't believe me. However, as soon as it was removed, it was sweet relief. Everyone was scratching their heads at what happened. I think it is highly possible this person is telling the truth, not everyone is "textbook" case of anything. Everyone is different, that's what makes the medical field tough at times. I think we should always listen and have compassion for others because we are not in their shoes. With that being said, OP so sorry to hear you are enduring this. T&P your way. That is all.
I'm sorry you are going through this I had a similar situation last year with a blighted ovum they couldn't see anything until a few weeks later even though my numbers kept going up, but the baby never formed. I didn't miscarry naturally so I ended up with a D&C in November 2014. I'm sorry for your loss lots of hugs and T&P's to you and your husband.
My thoughts are with you! A couple months ago, I had a bio-chemical pregnancy (I have PCOS so I did fertility treatments). I had bleeding, cause the embryo never implanted. But, I was extremely tired, like I am now. My HCG also continued to go up. It started at 16 and moved up to 25, then went down to normal after about a week. I know my situation isn't really similar to yours, only in the sense of that it is a horrible situation. Chemically (and quantitatively) you are pregnant. There is something growing in there. It's really hard to have drs tell you that there's nothing they can do and that you just have to wait it out. So my thoughts and prayers are with you. There are miracle cases--so maybe you just ovulated at a different time and it's too early.
Peds, your behavior is shameful and cast your fellow nurses in a very poor light.
Have you not ever heard of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease, choriocarcinomas, or ectopic pregnancy? When I initially read this post my first thought given, the doctors actions (hospitalization) and the symptoms, was potential GTD, but I felt it impolite to worry a women I didn't know personally by saying as much.
I'd expect someone with a medical background to recognize Hcg levels that high without a visible fetus in any location can potentially indicate a very bad situation.
OP, I am terribly sorry for your current situation and I can only imagine your pain. I hope that you are able to get into your specialist soon and they successfully sort everything out. If it's any consolation, it sounds to me like you could have a Hydatidiform mole, also known as a a molar pregnancy, which is heartbreaking but benign.
Re: *UPDATE IN COMMENTS - Loss :( )7 weeks, 10,000shcg, no sac! Drs are confused!
