HCG CONCERNS. OBGYN NOT CONCERENED

[BarbadosLove87]

Hi everyone.
Im a little concerned. Ever since finding out i am pregnant on April 18th...its been a whirlwind. A little background. No children, 2 previous ectopics on my right....didnt think natural would be possible. Went to emergency on april 18th due to abdominal cramping...i have to be careful as i have gallstones and have been awaiting surgery since the beginning of covid. They ran multiple tests including bloodwork. BAM! my HCG was 390. my LMP was march 16th. i had an ultrasound on April 19th, which showed nothing in my tubes or uterus at that point. I went back the following Monday April 25th where more bloodwork was taken. My HCG came back at 3954. Ultrasound on April 26; showed a sac but no yolk measuring 4-4.5wks. As previous ER visit requested repeat bloodwork on this wednesday April 27...this was what's concerning... results were 3122. My family dr called and requested repeat bloodwork on April 28th. My HCG came back as 4018. My family dr was able to get my into an OBGYN immediately to be followed. She isn't overly concerned; but to me i was anxiety ridden. She is requesting that monday i repeat my bloodwork, as well as an ultrasound in 2 weeks. did more bloodwork on may 2 and hcg was 6450. Also did more today and waiting for the results. She doesn't want to have me stressing over numbers so she would like to wait a few days. Knowing there is a sac in my uterus and its not ectopic; she also put me on progesterone. I still have breast tenderness, spouts of nausea, constipation and mild bloating. I have no bleeding and only mild cramping here and there. She was honest and told me to be cautiously optimistic. If viable its just too early to tell, same goes for a blighted ovum. Can anyone offer their thoughts or advice? Im a stress ball internally but remaining calm as best as possible. Me and my husband are so ready for this to happen.

Sorry, I can't help you at all, but I am wishing you the best of luck xx

Your HCG levels are rising, sorry, with all the info and dates I couldn't immediately see how fast, and the pregnancy is not in an unknown location but right where it should be.

You need to try to sit back now and trust your body! Measuring HCG levels every 2 days for weeks won't change any outcome.

You are on progesterone, you could put yourself on baby aspirin if you want but other than that, please try to relax

Thank you. Truly.

Thank you. I think the bloodwork is what’s stressing me the most because every result I end up going into the deep end on google.

Ok I’m breaking it down. Should my obgyn not be concerned?
april 18 -390
aprl 25- 3954
april 26- 3122 (this is so concerning but she’s not worried as in less than 24hrs I went back up) possible vanishing twin, or where this all went wrong in my head
april 27- ultrasound measures a sac 4.5-5wks hcg 4018
may 2- 6403
may 4 - 7640

why has it slowed down so drastically. It’s frightening

I also know for a fact I conceived on the 28th of March. We were not active prior due to hubby having Covid. Or after due to me feeling ill

@BarbadosLove87 unfortunately no one here can really give you an answer, or the answer you want. Your medically trained gyn isn't too concerned, they saw the sac in the right place, HCG is rising.
You really can't do anything but wait, which I understand is hard (been through it myself). But stressing about it can't help or change matters, and hopefully everything will be perfectly fine!

When is your next appointment/scan?

I believe they are moving it up to mid next week. They don’t want me to have to emotionally battle with feeling pregnant if I’m not and it’s just a blighted ovum. I’ve heard of miracles so I’m not losing all hope just yet.
