Pregnancy Info HOME

Julie it sounds like you have a normal healthy pg be positive . It is in fact true that women can have delayed ovulation brought on by a number of things incl stress or illness or just your natural cycle. The phase between your period and ovulation is called the follicular phase and can vary dramatically so it is possible that you could be off by 14 days!! I hope this brings you some peace of mind..... JFU I just went through the same thing had increasing hcg levels saw gestational sac and then stopped growing but hcg levels continued to go up. There is alot more to it you can read my previous entry from April long story short I've been on a 2 month rollercoaster of being poked and prodded, am I pg or not, I even went to a specialist, the Dr. told me possibly my progesterone was supporting the preg, ie the sac and hcg, but was not viable as evidenced by no growth , no blood perfusion to sac, and hcg though increasing were not doubling. Bottom line you need to look at all factors and make your decision if there is a possibility your dates could be off you may want to wait otherwise you may be having a missed miscarriage , meaning that for some reason your body is not yet ready to let go and it may take weeks for it to finally miscarriage and it still may not and do you want to put yourself through that? I don't mean to be brutal I just want you to be prepared and make an informed decision. I certainly wish you the best and I understand your frustration this is actually my second miscarriage after 2 healthy children and came as a shock never thought it would happen to me but am finding out very common and it really helps to talk about it again wish you the best. By the way it looks like after 8 long weeks I'm finally coming to the end of my nightmare as I 'm bleeding (not a lot light to mod evn brown w/ mod cramping) and hcg levels are dropping and last us revealed no sac any more. This actually comes as a relief as I was scheduled for my second d&c which was then cancelled . Hope you all find your answers.
