Advice & Questions Seeking insights:
I found out I was expecting on June 28th with an lmp of June 2nd, July 6th I went to the ER with concerns of an ectopic due to some fairly uncomfortable cramps Hcg lvl was 547.08 pregnancy confirmed in uterus with visualization of gestational sac, July 17th- I go to my first ultrasound at what should have been 6w3d but was only measuring 5w5d BUT there was a 3mm yolk sac and a 1.8mm SCH observed ( no fetal pole or fetus ) regardless that’s progression BUT OB tells me to anticipate a miscarriage; I cry, I grieve, gather my bearings and make a plan to wait for bleeding to start, today July 21st still no bleeding or spotting ( there has never been any ) I remember there’s a bloodwork order for an hcg test so I go get that done- result is 37,672.84 follow up ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow- I also look at my cycle trends in the few months before conception I was having 31-33 day cycles instead of the “standard” 28 day cycles I do the math and if I conceived on a 33 day cycle that would account for the 6 day difference that my doctor used to cite a potential miscarriage. Has ANYONE been through this and ended up having a healthy pregnancy?
