dnc & nonviable pregnancyFrom: Hayley (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 28 Feb 2001 09:17:49 -0600 (CST)
Hi-- I'm 17 years old, and have been sexually active and on birth control pills for 5 months. I stopped the pills at the end of the fifth month (Dec.22) because I was getting migraine headaches and my doctor wanted to find out if the pills were causing them. (They weren't.) After about 3 weeks I had no breakthrough bleeding from stopping the pills, so my mom made me go get a blood pregnancy test. She works for my gynecologist, so she suspected I was pregnant when i didnt have the breakthrough bleeding. The lab report came back saying that I was 2-7 days pregnant, but my doctor came to the conclusion that based on my LMP which was 12/19 that I had concieved on Jan 4 or 5 (about 14 days prior to the blood test)and something was probably wrong with the pregnancy because my values were so low. He found the yolk sac another 3 weeks after the blood test. Another ultrasound a week and a half after that revealed no heartbeat, which he said should have been there. He convinced me to have a DNC that next week because he said there was something wrong with the pregnancy and it would eventually miscarry anyway. I had the DNC done last week, but now I am concerned about whether or not it really *was* an unviable pregnancy, or whether it was viable and his figuring was off a little bit. But if the pregancy test was right, why was there no breakthrough bleeding when I stopped the pills? Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
