Concern for my sister in law. I know that there are no dr鈥檚 on here just give advice please. Thanks.?

My sister 鈥搃n law took like 5 pregnancy tests all were positive. She went to Hospital to be for sure and they gave a blood test, which came out positive, ultra sound but they could not see anything, and HCG test which was 3500, and also her cervix was slightly opened. At first they said she was 4 week, then came back and said she was about to have a miscarriage. Today she had appointment with gyn. Her HCG went from 3500 to 8233 in 2 days (But they did not check her cervix). She has had no pain a few small blood clots, and little to no blood on pad. (Barley any). Is it possible she is still pregnant and First doc. Diagnosis her wrong? If she was miscarrying how come HCG like almost tripled, would it decrease if miscarriage was present instead of increasing? And why could they not see anything on ultra sound.Concern for my sister in law. I know that there are no dr鈥檚 on here just give advice please. Thanks.?
At 4 weeks it's not surprising that they couldn't see anything. Even doing an ultrasound at 6 weeks, it would be difficult to find the embryo.





What does the blood look like? Was it brown or light pink? Or was it bright red like period blood? If it was brown or light pink, it may just be some spotting which can be normal during pregnancy. However, if it was bright red, it is likely that she may miscarry.





You're right, it doesn't make sense that her HCG levels have gone up. I think she should get another opinion.Concern for my sister in law. I know that there are no dr鈥檚 on here just give advice please. Thanks.?
UPDATE- she went to doctor today and had ultrasound-she is pregnant and she is 6 weeks pregnant.

Hm. Maybe the Dr's thought she was being threatened by a miscarriage if her hormones are doubling I think that is a very good sign. Just have her watch for more bleeding and any cramping.


I wish you all the best of luck!
wow, they are really high. maybe she's having more than one baby.
