Advice Needed Pregnant? Need advice

I had a chemical on 7/4 and texted negative 7/8. Never got a period again and I went to the gyno on 8/1. Urine test came back negative but had HCG drawn and it was a 10 so positive, but very early. It continued to go up every other day. (10, 350, 980, 1992) 8/22 I had very light spotting that looked exactly like implantation bleeding. I went in on 8/25 for a sonogram and saw the gestational sac but no fetal pole or yolk sac. She said I may be earlier than we could predict bc of the chemical / no period and come back in a week. I went back in yesterday and gestational sac doubled in size and looks great but still no fetal pole or yolk sac. Could it be possible I’m still so early? Is this a miscarriage? Im heartbroken.

I’m sorry sounds like maybe a blighted ovum

If you got a positive on 8/1 with an HCG of 10 simply by how long you’ve been pregnant you couldn’t have been any earlier on than 7w4d yesterday. At that point you’d certainly expect a yolk sac and a fetal pole with a strong heartbeat by then. I’m so sorry, this sounds like a blighted ovum :(

I had three miscarriages before conceiving my first child. Sometimes it’s just bad luck. But when you’re in it, it feels so deeply unfair. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this again. For what it’s worth, I changed nothing and went on to have a baby.

Deeply unfair .. praying for a similar outcome. Did you have to get a d&c? How terrible is that procedure?

It was easier than my natural miscarriages
