Thank you so much for responding to my post. I am going out of my mind
right now with anxiety! Christie mentioned she had a similar situation
and it turned out to be a blighted ov. Typically arent the hcg levels
supposed to be very high with blighted ov's? Did you see anything on
your ultrasound? I have another one on Monday morning and if nothing is
seen then, then I really feel like I should give up.
My real concern is if I do have an ectopic, I don't want to wait so long
that it ruptures, but I have NO symptoms. The radiology techs were
pressing all over my pelvic area asking "Does this hurt?" NO (100 times,
NO!) Have you been bleeding, are you bleeding? NO. Are you/have you
been in pain? NO. Truthfully, I don't know how many weeks I am, that
was one of the main reasons for the Ultrasound (size and dates). It
could be anywhere from 4.5 to 7 -I'm guessing. It just doesn't seem
very reassuring that all that was seen on the Ultrasound was a very
thick lining-even though my hcg is only 1500. The one question I didn't
get answered was could the thickness in my uterus be tissue from
miscarriage that hasn't passed yet and could that tissue still make my
hcg rise?
