Overview: I had some spotting when I was
4.5 weeks pregnant so I went in
and they scheduled an ultrasound that day.
The tech told me everything
looked fine but when I got on the phone
with my doctor she said I lost
the baby. She said this off of the
grounds because there was no fetus.
Now, with three blood tests done my levels
have gone up. They were
taken every 48 hours or so starting at the
level 2331 then 3593 then
4991. They claim this to still be
abnormal.
Now 5.5 weeks pregnant I have the
ultrasound report and i'm confused
with the medical terminology and would
greatly appreciate it if someone
could use basic terms for me. The report
reads:
"transabdominal and transvaginal scanning
shows the uterus to be
midline, anteverted measuring 8 x 4 x 6 cm
in size. There is a small
fluid collection in the endometrial canal
measuring 5mm. This suggests
a tiny amount of residual fluid
post-centrally complete ab. This does
not have the appearance of a normal 5 week
gestational sac. There is no
echogenic ring. No products of
conception identified. No mass of the
uterus. Both ovaries are normal in
appearance with small cysts.
Impression: findings most consistent with
an essentially complete ab
with a tiny fluid collection 5mm in size
all that is left inside the
uterus"
one I wasn't 5 weeks, I was 4 and a
half... But close enough I guess.
I'm not sure what any of it means
especially when speaking to the tech
during the procedure she assured me
everything looked fine.
Thank you

My suggestion is is to get on the phone,
either today or if your dr is on call
tonight, call her, if the office is closed
and the dr is not on call, call them 1st
thing in the a.M. And if the office is
open in the morning, and they tell you
that they do not have any openings, you go
and take the u/s results w/you and you sit
there until your dr sees you and believe
me, your dr will, I have had to do this
before. Keep us informed of what is
going on. You can always go to another
dr for another opinion as this sounds
pretty shakey, might you had been pregnant
with twins? I would definitely get a
copy of my medical records, which you have
a right to.
Sincerely,
sandy
