No heartbeat, but hcg levels rising, very confused

[Cobweb]

Hi I am new, so firstly I want to say hello.

I am desperate for any hope anyone can give me.

3 weeks ago I had some spotting at what I thought could be around 6 weeks pregnant. I went to the hospital and was scan only to be told that she could see the sac but nothing in it.

I was scanned two weeks later and they could see the yolk sac and foetal pole which she said measured 5mm, but couldn't see a heartbeat. She confirmed that I was just 6 weeks. The consultant said I was to have bloods taken that day and two days later. My results were 12,197 and then 14,500, so because they hadn't double I had another scan last Tuesday where they said that there was no development in measurements on the scan and no heatbeat (I should have been 7 weeks). I was told that I should have a d&c or wait naturally but that they wanted to do final bloods.

I got a phone call that night to be told that my hcg levels had muddled them because it was still rising (18,000) but not at the rate that they would like. Therefore the registrar was not happy to perform an operation whilst the level is still rising and I am being scanned next Tuesday.

This is emotionally draining because I had prepared myself for the worst and now don't know what to think.

Is there anyone with any information or guidance as I am desperate.

Thank you Cobwebxxx

Cobweb, don't know what to say but am thinking of you+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and hoping the pain starts to lessen soon.

So sorry that you are still having trouble... Hopefully the anti-biotics will help to settle everything. Thinking of you.

Hi Cobweb - sorry you have been feeling so poorly. Glad you have got sorted out by the docs. Hope the pills are kicking in - the last thing you need right now is constant physical reminders of the m/c. Take care

Hello, I searched Google for rising hcg with no heartbeat at 6 weeks and found your blog here. I had to read all of your posts and I felt for you. I wondered how you are and if you've had a third child yet? Thank you for sharing your experience!

Hi, I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant. Doctors were unable to hear heartbeat through scan yet. But each week the CRL values keep increasing and my HCG level is also around 62000. They can see yolk sac, fetal pole and CRL measuring around 1.42 cm currently. It was a slow start but now the CRL is increasing at the rate it should though it's still low compared to what it should be. Some doctors suggested to do d&c but I'm not sure if I should go or as a to be mother put in more faith and wiat little longer and I don't understand how can the fetal keeps growing if there is no heartbeat. It's not ectopic pregnancy. That is completely ruled out. Is there anyone who has faced similar situation? Or any thoughts or guidance around how this can happen.
