Waiting for the m/c to be over was the worst part for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1933375 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:22:36 +0000 jaguar 1933375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Limbo is the absolute worst. Sending BIG BIG hugs. xxx </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1931783 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 22:31:09 +0000 DesertDreams88 1931783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the support, friends. My HCG was "stuck" as of yesterday so the doctor sent me to the ER, and I am SO glad. They were so helpful, kind, and informative! My HCG results finally dropped to 1661 as of today, which is the biggest drop I've seen so far, very encouraging. I also got a MUCH more thorough, high resolution ultrasound, almost ruling out ectopic definitively. There's still a small chance but they're leaning back to a "incomplete miscarriage" diagnosis. So I will take the misoprotol sometime Friday/Saturday and we'll see how it goes. </p> <p>I'm praying for the physical healing part to be over soon so that my emotions and heart can rest a bit more! I just kind of want to sleep for a week. Hopefully this long weekend can meet that need. Medical limbo land is so tough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1930399 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:05:13 +0000 mrsjyw 1930399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, I'm just so sorry you're having to deal with this on top of dealing with the original news of your loss. :( Hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1930392 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 09:02:35 +0000 Jess1483 1930392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. I don't have any ideas, but I'm so sorry you're going through this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1930331 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 08:29:13 +0000 LindsayInNY 1930331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a similar post about a friend who is going through almost the exact same thing. Lower hcg levels but the fluctuation just like you're mentioning. </p> <p>Maybe some comments here will help?:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-friend-fluctuating-hcg-levels" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/advice-for-friend-fluctuating-hcg-levels</a></p> <p>Sorry you're going through this :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1930286 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 07:57:10 +0000 edelweiss 1930286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't have any advice to give but i wanted to say that i'm so sorry. what a roller coaster, and it's so difficult not knowing exactly what's going on so you can decide your course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1930197 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:36:44 +0000 jaguar 1930197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I'm just catching up on this - what a long winded journey. What is your gut telling you to do? :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1930192 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:19:44 +0000 DesertDreams88 1930192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I did more research (I am so, so tired of research....) and the blighted ovum / empty g sac in uterus can be a "pseudogestational sac" or a "psuedosac." It happens in 10-20% of ectopic pregnancies. My doctor mentioned the possibility but I just didn't catch the terminology until now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fluctuating-hcg-levels-whats-going-on#post-1929982 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 21:07:49 +0000 DesertDreams88 1929982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies, I have to admit I am currently freaking out and need some input / thoughts. I'm going to get a phone call tomorrow with my HCG results from today, but if they've risen at all, my obgyn thinks it's ectopic WITH a gestational sac in the uterus, and she wants me to take methotrexate AND then a little bit later, misoprotol. I don't want to take EITHER! It sucks, because my body feels completely fine and I am 8w today. My HCG was slow rising, dropped in half, and started slow rising again. I don't know what's going on. Could you take a look at my info below and let me know if you have any thoughts?</p> <p>Monday, Oct 20: 6 week ultrasound but measuring at 5w0d, only a gestational sac. Possibly another g-sac on the screen, unidentified by obgyn but I see a possibility on the print out. /// HCG: 3435 at 6w0d</p> <p>Wednesday, Oct 22: Brown bleeding started, worse ultrasound /// HCG: 4034 at 6w2d<br /> Friday, Oct 24: 3rd ultrasound shows larger, empty g sac (5w4d), no yolk sac/fetal pole, blighted ovum? /// HCG: drawn but unknown to me<br /> Saturday, Oct 25: Much more cramping and bleeding<br /> Sunday, Oct 26: Passed the gestational sac seemingly intact. Very irregular shape / edges. About 2 cm all the way around, with two red clots inside it...<br /> Tuesday, Oct 28: HCG: 1738 at 7w1d<br /> Thursday, Oct 30: Bleeding slowing down to spotting</p> <p>Friday, Oct 31: Ultrasound still shows a gestational sac stuck 5w2d. I don't know how it's still there, based on the tissue I already passed. /// HCG: 2100 at 7w4d<br /> Tuesday, Nov 4: Did HCG test AGAIN but no results yet.</p> <p>Here's my hypotheses, what do you think?<br /> - Two fertilized eggs ("twins"), miscarried one, one still stuck there but not growing (blighted ovum)<br /> - Incomplete miscarriage and blighted ovum responsible for HCG levels<br /> - Ectopic with g sac in uterus but embryo in tube?? </p>
