I had my first positive pregnancy test 3 almost 4 weeks ago and had my first Ultrasound (US) this week. According to the first day of my last period I should have been 8 wks 1 day during my US. However measurements put me at 6 wks 3 days and the tech couldn’t see fetal pole. That afternoon I had my first HCG blood test. It was elevated and within range of a 6 week pregnancy. 24 hrs later I did my second HCG test and although my levels did go up they only went up slightly (9%) by my calculation. Due to both findings my Dr. isn’t sure the pregnancy will progress. I am having another HCG on Monday to test my levels. I haven’t had any bleeding or signs of miscarriage. I’m at the point I know it’s a waiting game to see what happens. Has anyone gone through something similar or give advice on what to do in the meantime?
