Hi guys,
I found out I am pregnant three days
back. My home preg test was positive.
I went to the doctor who did an
ultrasonogram and found out that there was
a small yolk sac developing . But the
problem is that my hcg hormone level was
too high for three- four weeks of
pregnacy. So the doctor was confused as
no baby had formed yet for that level of
hcg. She has asked me to wait for the
pregnancy to proceed now. The hcg
value and the corresponding week do not
match....Is it normal ? Has anyone had
any such problem earlier. I just wanted
the yolk sac to have a baby in it!!!
Is the rise in the level any
indication.....Expecting a reply soon.

I dont think a high level is something to
be worried about, its the low levels. I
don't know if hcg levels being high means
multiples. You can look up the info.

I believe that an ectopic pregnancy, is
when a yolk sac develops but the baby does
not develop, ultimately resulting in
misscarriage... Dont quote me on that
one, thats just what I thought I
read...Um..I know that hgc is a hormone
only present during pregnancy.. So if you
have hgc, then you must be pregnant.

Lol
but I thought etopic was a tubal
pregnancy???? Am I wrong, I don;t want to
tell anyone else the wrong info!!... But
I did have a friend who had that ,with
every symptom of pregnancy and the yolk
sac and then she miscarried and that was
when they found out there was no baby to
begin with, I had never heard of it b4

Yeah I think etopic is tubal. So if she
had an ultrasound, then they'd know it was
etopic. U may want to try searching the
web for hcg levels or something and c if u
can find anything out. Good luck.

Hi Its Me Again Posted: 11-17-04 11:01am
Guys,
when we did the ultrasonogram for the
first time they said that it was an
intrauterine pregnacy itself. They
didnt mention about seeing a tube
pregnancy(both abdominal and vaginal
ultrasonogram was done for me). The
doctor also mentioned that I had come too
early to check for pregnacy and that the
sonogram wont give clear readings.(three-
four weeks is early I think). All that
was made out was a small yolk sac with no
baby. But like I said the hcg reading
were very high for that week.....This made
doctor concerned and said we have to wait
and see. My state is like very bad
now,i dont know what to expect......Thanks
for the answers guys. It really helps to
be prepared for the worst,
bye

this happened to me. The hcg level was
higher then expected which can mean two
things your baby stopped developing or you
are real early in your pregnancy, or you
are just one of those people who triple in
numbers instead of doubling. Dont be
alarmed yet hun give it some time. They
really cant see much until you are like 6
weeks. Good luck
