Doctors’ responses
Based on the details you’ve provided, it seems like you are experiencing an early pregnancy but with some concerns. A positive beta-hCG test with levels around 1101 mIU/mL at 4 weeks suggests early pregnancy, but the absence of a visible gestational sac at this stage and finding a thick endometrium can point towards a few possibilities. One potential explanation is that the pregnancy may not be developing normally, which in some cases could indicate a blighted ovum or an anembryonic pregnancy where a gestational sac forms without an embryo. Another possibility could be that the pregnancy is just too early to be visualized properly on ultrasound. Regarding the corpus luteum, it’s a normal finding often seen in early pregnancy, providing necessary hormones until the placenta takes over. If there has been no visible progress on subsequent scans, healthcare providers often consider the probabilities of a miscarriage or other non-viable pregnancy situations. By 6 weeks, typically a repeat ultrasound is used to verify the progression or viability of the pregnancy, based on any growth of the gestational sac or fetal pole development. The symptoms you’re experiencing like burping and vomiting can align with typical early pregnancy signs yet do not directly indicate viability. It’s crucial at this stage to remain in close communication with your healthcare provider for the accurate interpretation of ongoing hCG levels and further ultrasonographic guidance. If you experience sharp pain, heavy bleeding, or dizziness which could suggest an ectopic pregnancy or another complication, seek immediate medical attention. Your healthcare provider might propose blood tests, typically done every 48 hours, to check if hCG levels are rising appropriately, which is a standard approach to assess early pregnancy health.
