Misdiagnosed blight ovum?

Question

Looking for some hope. I went to the ER because I had a sharp pain on the left side to rule out ectopic. I have no bleeding or spotting, I should have been 5 weeks 5 days when I went (didn’t track ovulation). Doctor said I am having a blight ovum because he saw a sac measuring 4.7mm and he expects me to miscarry and my hcg numbers to decrease. HCG at ER was 3134 second check 2 and a half days later was 6495. Next ultrasound is Friday I should be 7 weeks 2 days. Anyone have a similar situation and have it be a misdiagnosis? I also have a retroverted uterus.

Answer

ER never knows what they’re talking about with pregnancy. Especially very early. Wait to see OB. Everything you saw sounds completely normal and the numbers sound great. It’s good you got checked but I wouldn’t go to ER in the future until you’re farther along.

Answer

Your numbers doubled like they should have. The sac to me seems to be on track.
I also have a retroverted uterus. It can make it difficult in early pregnancy to see anything during an abdominal ultrasound. Transvaginal ultrasounds can be a little tricky as well but not as difficult as abdominal. It normal for them to only see the gestational sac and not the yolk sac at early. Your days also could be just a few days off which is normal and common.
