What Causes The Absence Of Fetus During 8th Week Of Pregnancy?
supposed to be 8 weeks pregnant but u/s shows a sac with no baby measuring what would be 6 weeks. my hcg's are rising but not doubling-6/8-20000, 6/14-41000, 6/16-45000. my doc wants me to get a d&c and im wondering if i should get a second opinion since the levels are still rising
Hi Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic! Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options. With rising HCG titres, your concern about D&C is quite right. Please get vaginal USG done to confirm absence of baby inside, before going for D&C. Absence of baby in the growing sac is a condition called as-- BLIGHTED OVUM. And you need to terminate the pregnancy by D&C. I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks. Wish you great health. Dr Purushottam
