I think my friend is having a miscarriage but the doctors are telling her it’s just late ovulation.
My friend is 33 years old and her and her husband have been trying for 3 years to conceive.
3/20 was date of last period
4/13 she had a faint positive on an hcg urine test strip, which continued to darken
4/20 they send her for blood testing as she had been lightly bleeding for hcg draws. Hcg was 77
4/22 hcg was at 199
Kept spotting and bleeding on and off
5/18 was dating ultrasound but she start bleeding again this week and they brought her in for a scan
5/14 ultrasound showed yok sac but no fetal pole and nothing in it.. they dated it 5 weeks
5/14 sent her for hcg draw and was at 3229
They are keeping the ultrasound on 5/18 and sending her for another hcg draw
The reason I’m so confused is she’s relieved because the PA told her not to worry her ovulation was just late.. I don’t understand how she could have thrown a positive pregnancy test on 4/13 and had late ovulation. This sounds like a blighted ovum to me but I’m shocked out how they just mentioned it could be the pregnancy not progressing correctly but they thought it was just late ovulation. I’m scared she’s walking in on 5/18 thinking everything is fine (I’ve heard hcg can still go up in a blighted ovum normally) and is going to get blindsided.
