I'm so scared!! We have had 2 miscarries (both before I even realised I was pregnant) and this is the third time pregnant. The difference is this is the first time I've known that I'm pregnant and so excited. I have medical conditions that concerned the doctore including high blood pressure and diabetes, so they have been monitoring my HCG levels every twice a week. At 4 weeks 2 days, I had a transvaginal scan that showed a 4.5mm sac. At 5 weeks 6 days, I had my 2nd scan (abdominal) that showed a 8.9mm sac. The next morning I was called by my doctor and asked to come and see her immediately. I went in with my husband and she told me that my HCG levels were rising, but very slowly from 3000 - 8000 in 6 days. At this rate the pregnancy will not survive. She went on to tell me that the scan showed that I had a 8.9mm sac visible, but that it was empty and because of that information combined, she believed I would miscarry again. I have not been sick, I haven't experienced any pain, my breast were tender and growing, but are no longer tender. The doctor proceeded to ask me if I wanted to wait for things to naturally occur or if I wanted her to book a procedure. At that stage I completely broke down and I could no longer hear anything she had to say. She ended by saying, miracles can happen, but unlikely and that I needed to be prepared for the worst. My husband and I are traumatised by her message, but we are remaining hopeful that this baby is okay, to us it just seems too early for a doctor to make such definite conclusions. Has anyone else experienced this? Are we wrong to hope for the best? (Sorry I was trying to figure out how to work this blog and ended up posting this on someone elses thread, incase you have read this for the second time)
