Please help. Experience/opinions?Pregnancy?

I am 8 wks 3 days. At my last trans vaginal ultrasound, the nurse practitioner said that the "fetal plole" was so blurry that she couldn't tell if it was a fetal pole at all. I had a quantitative HCG blood test done which said my numbers are going up but not doubling. Doctor says this can mean I'm going to miscarry or that I'm one of the 15% of women who's numbers grow steadily rather than double. If it is a blighted ovem, when will I miscarry? It has been 2 wks since then and no signs of miscarriage

I think that you should call your doc to see if they can check you again. Most docs don't mind doing extra ultrasounds/bloodwork if it means easing your mind. I almost lost my twins when I was 13 weeks and the doc did an ultrasound at least once a week to ease my mind. Call them, see what they can do

I had an vaginal ultrasound at 11 weeks and they found no fetal pole, just a gestational sac with a yolk sac. They checked my HCG levels over the next two days and they were low but not dropping. I had another ultrasound at 13 weeks and again nothing, so it was a blighted ovum (even though there is debate whether it is a true blighted ovum because of the yolk sac).

I started miscarrying at 14 weeks which was further along than most women. I suggest another ultrasound, sometimes the fetus is difficult to see.
