No gestational sac
SteffieGuest ·
Hi everyone!
Two weeks ago I had a stabbing feeling in my lower belly for a few days, and sure enough, I'm pregnant... I went to the gynecologist, had blood drawn, and my hCG was 539. Counted from the first day of my last period, so at 4 weeks.
A week later, more blood was taken because nothing was visible on the ultrasound. This hCG was 2817. Since this wasn't at my regular gynecologist's office, she advised me to go back to the gynecologist so they could take a better look, and sure enough, still nothing visible.
Now I should be 5 weeks and 5 days, and there's a new appointment scheduled with the gynecologist, but I'm really wondering if it's normal that my hCG is growing so well and that there's still no gestational sac visible on the ultrasound?
I'm extremely worried and can't stop thinking about this!
Has anyone else experienced this before?

Didn't experience it, but is the gestational sac in the right place? Have you already had your new appointment with the gynecologist? -

Hi, I’ve been there already. They noticed a small change that they think could be the gestational sac, but it’s not certain yet. Tomorrow I’ll hopefully know a bit more!
Thanks for your reply. -

Update,
Went to the gynecologist again today. Nothing visible on the ultrasound except for the lining. The hCG had risen to 16,500, so now we're waiting to see if it's starting to go down or not. I'm just waiting; it's quite frustrating, and they can't do anything until they have clearer information. It's still not certain whether it's an ectopic pregnancy or not.
