I think it's the lack of doubling PLUS the fact that she couldn't see anything except a yolk sac last Wednesday. She said she expected to see a little more based on my hormone levels and lmp and was surprised when she didn't. If I'm not as far along as I thought, then my numbers should be doubling still, right? And that would make sense why she couldn't see anything except the yolk sac.
This is a serious mindfuck.
You're really going to need to be your own advocate here. Obviously your Dr isn't going to do it judging by these conversations.
LMP doesn't mean shit. You could have ovulated a week earlier or later and not realized it which could have skewed the numbers and made it too soon to see anything on the ultrasound.
Push to get in now and get another vaginal ultrasound. I wouldn't let it go.
I agree. I think I mentioned this in your last post but I found out I was having twins around 6 weeks; though no heartbeats yet. I returned a week later and baby A had progressed completely normally but baby B didn't grow much since the week prior, only a yolk was seen (no fetal poles) and had no heartbeat. I was told more than likely I was going to miscarry B. Four days later, I started to bleed and assumed it was baby B. I returned the next day and out of no where B was there, yolk sac, fetal poles and they found a strong heartbeat. Every week baby B started catching up and by 12 weeks they were exactly at the same point. Also, I had an IUI and with a trigger shot so they knew exactly when I ovulated but B was just slow grower so really A LOT can change in one week.
I also cannot believe your doctor is still drawing your betas at this point especially with how high they are and everyone is correct betas stop doubling at this point. Also, from your update it almost sounds like she thinks it is a blighted ovum, which I had several years ago. Basically, your betas keep going up as your body believes it is pregnant when you are not. This would make sense based upon what you said BUT she saw the yolk sac not just and empty sac.
Either way, what an absolute mindfuck you have had to endure these last couple of weeks. I am holding out hope and again, if she refuses to give you an ultrasound go to the ER stating you had cramps or light bleeding. This doctor is fucking bogus. {{{hugs}}}}

It did sound like that but then the dr said your body is trying to hold on to the pregnancy which makes no sense whatsoever. At this point, I wouldn't trust the doctor at all.
The last fucking thing I would do is race to the ER and tie up emergency room resources for this. This is scary. This is sad. This? Is not a medical emergency. I'd call planned parenthood and see if I could be seen there for a u/s, as they do them as well, if I could not wait until later in the week for an u/s at my doctor's office.
Believe me, nobody's going to the er unless they want a Baker
I've had pregnancy symptoms some months when I ovulate really late. It's possible mb ovulated around Aug. 28, hence the negative test, followed by a positive on Sept. 12. That would also explain the u/s and beta numbers.
Dammit, why can't a catfish accusation happen at 9am instead of 4pm??
The first flag was thrown on Friday. You've had all weekend.
I am not going to lie...my flag was thrown in August when she posted something about the ML water and double bagging it. Then she is pregnant less than 4 weeks later.
I am so sorry. I am going to parrot what a lot of people are saying. Betas don't increase at the same rate once you get further along. I would do get another sono if I could.

How am I always here but miss the good stuff?
Maybe these ADHD meds aren't working after all.
I was just trying to figure out how long her and the guy were together and then I was like "hold up, that is sort of an ironic post."
I normally don't notice shit lol.
Edit: My research started off from an innocent place.

I assumed they were not using condoms, just her on the pill since she mentioned missing a couple or something to that effect.
