Hcg level 3883 but cant find the pregnancy on the ultrasound?

I recently found out I was pregnant. Went for blood work and ultrasound. Hcg levels 2010 but couldn't find the pregnancy on the ultrasound. 48 hours later, I repeated the hcg test for a 3883 result. My levels are rising but I'm concerned that they can't see anything on the ultrasound! Going off the lmp I should be around 6 weeks. Which really worrys me, I should have an heartbeat by now. What could be the cause of this? I have another ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow, but I need answers or suggestions as to what's going on or could be going on now.

    When I was 7 weeks, my doctor didn't see anything on the ultrasound. I had to go to experts in radiology and they found what they needed to. I have known many people who have gone in at what is supposed to be 6 weeks and there wasn't anything on the screen. That is so early it isn't anything to worry about. Sometimes, you just aren't as far along as you think you are.

    Its possible you ovulated late and your not as far along as you think you are. And a lot of women can't see anything this early. Even if its suppose to have a heart beat there is a chance you wont even be able to see it till 9 weeks. Everyone is different. So if your levels are rising then you shouldn't be to worried. Only thing you have to worry about is the chance of a tubal pregnancy, cause if it was one that could be the reason you can't see it. Unless they ruled out that already. Just being honest. But I'm sure everything is fine. Its still very early.

    Saw your question and just had to share with you. I am the mother of 3 with a broad age range which means I was much younger with my first pregnancy than with my third. After all the years and some great doctors, I never could find good answers on nutrition, what exercises were safe and effective, etc. A friend introduced me to Pregnancy Without Pounds when I was having trouble with my third baby. Boy I wish I had this program with the first two! My pregnancy went much easier this time, I am healthier, my extra weight is gone and the exercises are helping put my curves where they should be. I feel better about myself which comes across to my husband and kids. It worked for me. It's worth looking at. Maybe it will work for you, too.

    Good Luck

    you're 2 weeks pregnant at theory, even nevertheless you have no longer conceived yet. you're around 4 weeks pregnant once you first get a favorable being pregnant attempt. docs will frequently wait until 6 weeks to do an ultrasound because it truly is once you could first detect a heartbeat. the 1st day of your final era is considered day one million of being pregnant. possibly they are speaking approximately 2 weeks considering the fact which you conceived, no longer pregnant.

    did they do an internal ultrasound? i know that i've had ultrasounds when i was early on, and they couldn't see anything on a regular us, so they did an internal, and *ta da!* there she was. try not to worry if your levels are increasing...i'm sure you'll get an answer soon.
