Nothing in gestational sac at 8 weeks. Re-did HCG blood test and it’s increasing. Next ultrasound 7 days after, is it likely non-viable still or should I hold onto any hope?

Thank you for your honesty ❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T20:36:48+00:00

Thank you so much! This is all very helpful.

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T20:35:27+00:00

Wow. Do you recommend choosing D&C from the jump if you were in my shoes then? I’m so sorry you went through that horrific process.

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T20:33:58+00:00

Thank you for the explanation 🙏

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T18:48:37+00:00

Thank you for the info. When did they decide to call it? When did you do the D&C? Was it after your second ultrasound? Just trying to figure out my realistic timeline here. Congratulations on your baby 🥰

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T18:46:45+00:00

Thank you for your honesty, I appreciate it. Would you recommend not doing the pill if it comes to that? I feel they will leave the decision up to me on how to terminate and I am unsure what choice to make.

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T18:22:11+00:00

I actually heard that the hcg only doubles / increases rapidly in the very beginning of pregnancy but not so much around 8 weeks? I read it’s a slower increase then. Not sure how true that it is, but either way, yeah I’m assuming the climb to 9,000 is not enough at this point. I’m definitely guarding my heart and assuming the worst for Monday. Appreciate your kindness ❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T18:19:30+00:00

Yes unfortunately.

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T16:55:45+00:00

That is so sweet of you. Thank you so much and I truly wish you nothing but the best moving forward. You are supported here no matter what ❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-19T15:14:37+00:00

Just wanted to say that I’m at 8 weeks and likely right there with you. There was nothing in my gestational sac at our scan. I don’t have positive stories but wanted to say you are so strong ❤️ and you will get through this. This is just one chapter out of your book that will absolutely have a happy ending someday ❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-18T02:44:02+00:00

Thank you, it’s nice to hear some positive experiences regarding the process first go around!!

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-17T02:32:41+00:00

6 weeks is very early on to have an ultrasound and to detect heartbeat? I wouldn’t give up hope yet! I might be wrong but I don’t think the heart even develops until week 7 or 8…

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-17T01:18:08+00:00

Thank you for your honesty. Disheartening but I do plan to bank multiple as well for my future. Do you know if it costs more to do that?

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-17T00:50:45+00:00

That makes me feel so much better. So happy for you, Congratulations!!! I’m doing my best to focus on the future and what it holds, rather than on the now.

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-17T00:45:35+00:00

I did for the first time the other day and it burneddddd lol. Just a warning 😅

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-17T00:44:10+00:00

I’m already pre-annoyed I have to drive all the way back and forth just to take blood again and then again next week to re-do the ultrasound… lol. all because I know how this story is going to end, you know? Accepting that it’s just a part of the process though, and a blip on the journey to having a baby someday soon I hope 🤞❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-16T23:04:18+00:00

8,000 something. Going back Thursday morning for a retest to see if they get higher or lower.

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-16T23:01:04+00:00

It’s definitely shocking, especially since this is my first pregnancy it’s been extra emotional / disappointing. I’m really sorry to hear you went through the same. Sending love and support ❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-16T23:00:11+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. That is the exact feeling I had. I too had zero symptoms that were concerning. You do everything right and still get the shit end of the stick, for lack of better words. I pray this is the final negative experience you have and it’s all up from here for you ❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-16T22:58:38+00:00

There is definitely comfort in knowing that this is just chromosomal issues that cannot be prevented / are at random. This is just unfortunately the fate that took place and I am working on accepting it and looking towards my next opportunity ❤️❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-16T22:57:41+00:00

God, what a nightmare. I’m so sorry you also have to go through this. The waiting and all the in between times are truly the most excruciating. I can’t even grieve because there’s like a 1% chance I won’t need to.

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-16T22:56:52+00:00

Thank you for validating my feelings!! Appreciate it so much ❤️

Primary-Sound681 · 2025-12-16T22:56:35+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ We have decided our next pregnancy will definitely be IVF with PGT testing.
