Prescribed Duphaston And Folic Acid After Beta Test. Gestational Sac Seen Without Cardiac Activity. What Is Happening ?
Hi,my last period was 24/10/13.got 1st beta done on 28/11/13,the value came 304,then repeated it on 4/12/13 and the value came 2141.my doc gave duphaston 2 times and folic acid once a day.the first ultrasound done on 3/12/13 showed 3.6mm gestational sac.got it done again on 9/12/13 it grew to 10mm but still no cardiac activity.please explain as to what's happening.another info I have thyroid and taking medication as well as irregular periods.
I am so sorry to hear about this absent cardiac activity on the ultrasound. Every other finding indicates that the p[regnancy in increasing in size and the gestational hormone titer strongly suggest this. I will suggest that you get a repeat ultrasound iin 4weeks to control this again. if there are no signs of a cardiac ativity, then other possible causes of gestational tissue without fetal activity like molar pregnancy should be considered. Do you have exagerrted nausea and vomiting? These could be suggestive and if the titers are rising higher than expected for age, this should be strongly considered.
For now, be calm and go for a folow up control. Depending on the findings, active measures can be pursued or reassurance if the cardiac activity is clearly seen
