I had a silent miscarriage earlier this year at 9 weeks but baby died at 5 weeks. I have PCOS and an under active thyroid. This pregnancy I've been monitored more closely and have been put on increased thyroxine, progesterone suppositories and Metformin. My hcg blood test came back at 97 just after my positive pregnancy test and they dated me at 4 weeks. 2 weeks later when I should have been 6 weeks I went for an early scan and all they could see was gestational sac and yolk sac. They predicted I was 5 weeks and sent me away for 10 days. Half way through this period they did a hcg blood test which showed 21444 hcg. Again dating me around 8 weeks which was in line with the first blood test. Everything seemed normal. I returned yesterday when the 10 days were up and the scan only showed a fetal pole measuring 6 weeks 1 day but with no heartbeat. I've been sent away to get more hcg bloodtests on Monday. The gynaecologist said he wasn't able to confirm viable pregnancy and that he would expect to see a heartbeat with such high hcg. Any ideas what might be going on? I had a positive ovulation test on 16th Jan and had sex that day too but not since as hubby has been away. Anybody been through similar? I'm preparing for the worse ...
