Q: Need opinions!

So I went to the ER on sep 24th because I bled about a teaspoon of blood but stopped after a few hours. The doctors did an ultrasound, hcg quant and cervical check. My hcg levels were 24000, cervix was closed but on the ultrasound they could only see gestational sac and yolk sac.(I was 5 weeks 3 days) . I was told I was having a miscarriage based on the fact that there was no fetal pole. I have not bled since that day and my pregnancy symptoms are getting worse what do you guys think? I even have had white fluid coming from my breasts. This is my 5th pregnancy and ii don't know what to think so depressing :(

**update** went to the doctors today and she totally disagreed with the diagnosis of miscarriage looked at my ultrasound and said it looked completely normal and even suspects twins because of my high hcg levels (her words were very VERY high) sent me for another hcg quant and progesterone. Progesterone was in perfect range where it should be hcg hasent came back yet going for a ultrasound next week wish me luck ! :)

I would defiantly not come to the conclusion that you are miscarrying ! I bled up until week 9 , and at 5 weeks there was no heat beat didn't see it until after 6 weeks, and I'm now 19 weeks ! I would request another ultra sound in a week or two give baby time to develop a little further :-) def a good sign if you are still having pregnancy symptoms! good luck!

Thanks! I have had 3 miscarriages and this is nothing like those 3 I'm praying they were wrong because I still feel very pregnant. With my daughter I started leaking from my Breasts around 14 week that's why it's so weird that I'm leaking this early especially if the baby's not growing it just doesn't seem normal. At 5 weeks 3 days would you absolutely see a heart beat? I'm just hoping it was to early since that's what the doctor based his diagnosis on.

Hmm...the white fluid is not a typical early symptom but if you haven't miscarried yet I think you should go back sometimes this week to your doctor. By then you will be at least 6 weeks and should see a heartbeat and all the parts there. They will also need to know because it can become a big problem if you don't miscarry on your own and need to (I was told you can get toxic shock). Call your doctor tomorrow for guidance. Hoping they were wrong-good luck!

At 5 weeks and 6 days all they saw for me was the sac, no yolk sac or heartbeat but everything was measuring right on time I went back in my 7th weeks, baby measured right at 8 weeks with a heart rare if 161 bpm. I would never listen to a doctor about miscarriage that early on.

Thanks for everyone's input! I'm definitly going to make an appointment tomorrow because I just feel I was diagnosed way to early, praying for a healthy prgnancy! Also going to be asking about the leaky breasts it's very odd for me lol thanks again for the help! :)

6 weeks is really the earliest you would see one so it's normal that they didn't when you went in but you should definitely follow up this week now that it will have been enough time. I didn't realize you already had children so it may not be that weird to get some symptoms you had later in previous pregnancies earlier this time around. I think they should have told you what to look out for (heavy bleeding, cramping) and to see a doc in a week if nothing happened, not that you were for sure going to miscarry.

With my first pregnancy, I went to the ER for cramping & they told me I had a blighted ovum & was going to miscarry. That blighted ovum is a 2 year old little girl! Best wishes being sent your way!
