Light spotting at 6 weeks pregnant, no heartbeat detected
I went to the er last Thursday due to light spotting and they checked my hcg levels and said they were in the 9000 range. Also did an u/s but did not detect a heartbeat. According to the measurments I am 5 1/2 weeks. Went back on Sunday and my levels had dropped to the 8000 range. Another u/s done, still no heartbeat. Was told to see my ob gyn asap. Called them today and they can't see me for another 2 weeks. The er dr said my cervix was still closed but he thought I was going to miscarry. I had a miscarriage last year and I am 41 years old. Is there a chance that I am just not far enough along for them to hear a heartbeat? I am not cramping, my bleeding is not even filling up a panty liner. I really want to know what is going on but feel I am getting the run around. Should I return to the er in a couple days and have them check my levels again instead of waiting 2 weeks to see my dr. I really feel that they should be checking my levels every 2 to 3 days seeing as how I am at a high risk for miscarriage again. Maybe they can put me on progesteron to help me along. But again, can't seem to get anyone to listen. Please help. :(
