HCG doubling but no baby seen on US at 6 weeks

Hi all, so far my hcg has been doubling but on the low side. I also had a bleed for 48 hours at 4 weeks (brown blood). Today I’ve been to EPU. I should be exactly 6 weeks today based on when I had my IVF. They did an internal scan and first thing she said was that she couldn’t get a good view because my colon was so blocked. I don’t feel constipated in the slightest but she said it can be common in pregnancy. Then she said she couldn’t see any evidence of a baby in my tubes or uterus 🙁 but wasn’t sure if it was just due to my colon being full. So then they did a blood test and my levels are now 2062, so they have more than doubled every 48 hours since the last test. They asked if I wanted to have a laparoscopy there and then to check my tubes properly, but as I have no symptoms of an ectopic and as she said it can be risky if the baby turns out to be in the uterus, I declined. Now I have to take these laxatives and go back in 2 days for another scan. Has this happened to anyone else? I just don’t know what to think.

Gas caused a very bad view in my early ultrasound. Was much better when I went back a week later. I hope for you to!

I am so sorry you are having to go through this, especially after IVF. It happened to me (before we started IVF) and it was a missed miscarriage. HCG continued to double and I felt completely pregnant for weeks after that point (and many scans) but the fetus had stopped growing. Fingers crossed in your case this isn’t what has happened but good to be prepared just in case.
