Extremely high HCG and empty sac

[ArcticSky]

Hi all,

Really hoping for some advice/similar experiences. Was treated for a PUL in October and am now pregnant again (5 weeks 3 days). Due to the PUL and some cramps I was sent for an early scan and some bloods today and am very confused by the results.

Scan showed an empty gestational sac which the sonographer said was fine for this stage (& not ectopic - yay), but my HCG level came back at 12,650. This is way above anything I have read about at 5 weeks and after researching I am now terrified it is a molar pregnancy.

Other info: I got a good positive PG test at 10dpo and the lines on my internet cheapies have been getting progressively darker so I knew I would have had a decent amount of HCG in there but that level is ridiculous!

Only 1 gestational sac seen and she had a really good look so not twins.

The nurse seemed surprised at the results and I am going back in 48hrs for repeat bloods with a scan in 2 weeks.

Anyone with any experience? All comments appreciated

Have mine in the morning also! Good luck💞 please send an update x

@MollySxx and @ArcticSky thanks for checking in - it went well and we had a lovely heart beat and I’ve been discharged from EPU, after struggling to sleep last night with worry I cried with relief! Fingers crossed for your scan Molly.

Sadly not giving an update of good news💔 had the scan and I just knew by the ladies face. There was the sac, which hadn't grown, an the yolk. No progress, no baby. So unfortunately today, this is my 4th miscarriage, my 5th loss💔 I needed to go to the toilet before I had the scan and low and behold, there was blood when I wiped. So there was my answer even before the scan.

Wishing you all pregnant ladies the best of luck and happiness💞

Very sorry to hear that @MollySxx. I hope you are being looked after and are getting some rest xx

@MollySxx I'm so sorry 😢.

Hi. Am not sure if this thread is still active. Am hoping for some explanation. I am 45 years old. Naturally conceived. Am today 5 weeks 6 days with an HCG level of 21000 yesterday. Which I think is high. Even the dr said it was high from a jump of 1175 eight days ago. US, Only gestational sac seen. Nothing else. Dr said still too early. I started spotting (light brown, only when wiping) yesterday with some moderate cramping. Had a miscarriage in December. Am terrified and convinced it’s either a molar pregnancy or a miscarriage. Could anyone share with me their symptoms of a molar pregnancy, please?
