I need your help.I have been posting on the miscarriage board today. I went for my 1st u/s yesteray and there was a small gestational sack,no yolk sac, no heartbeat and bad hcg levels. They told me there was no baby and that I would miscarry in a couple of days to two weeks. This pg was off a frozen embryo transfer.Needless to say dh and I were devestated.I was told to call the re if I had any unusual pains.
At 3:45 I called the doctor and told them about some sharp stabbing pains in my rt ovary. I was told to come in. They put me up on a high resolution ultrasound to check my tubes in case of a tubal pg. Long story short, the doctor found a yolk sac and a HEARTBEAT.The h/b is 120 bpm (i guess normal is 120-160).I can't even believe it. MY dh and I have been crying our eyes out since yesterday. They sent me to the hospital to have radiology confirm there is no tubal pg(there isn't). Here is my question-please help! Has anyone ever heard of this happening.The re said the baby was either going to turn itself around or not in the next couple of days but that the pg could linger for several weeks. No one is hopeful(although I have more hope than I did 5 hours ago).The hcg leve was 813 last monday and 1310 yesterday. Has anyone ever seen anything Like this? How did I get a heartbeat when everything looks so bad? Please advise!
We don't think that the pg will make it,but we feel better knowing that the baby is trying! We also feel better being able to see the baby instead of never getting to se it at all.
Please respond.any news would be helpful

I thought about that but am having a hard time figuring it out since we did the frozen embryo transfer on August 18th with three day old embies.Plus I tested way too early with a firstresponse test and got a positive hpt. Who knows? The tech shows the pregnancy is measuring 5w4d but the hcg level is so bad(even though it did rise) and there is very little amniotic fluid. Who knows? Maybe baby flicker is a late bloomer. He better catch up!
My nerves are shot today but I work from home so I have a little flexibility,but I wish I had to be at a job where I could interact w/ people and not necessarily sit and worry. Life is always a series of trade offs.
Thank you for the prayers and support
