Hello, I am about 5 weeks pregnant (phew!) but had a prior chemical pregnancy. Now I've made it to at least this far but am very nervous and scared at the same time. i am sure everyone who's going through pregnancy can relate! I was wondering if anyone who has experienced a continued rise in their HCG hormones and can still have a blighted ovum?
I went in for my 1st U/S today and they only found a yolk sac - doc said it's still too early to see the fetal pole and/or heartbeat. But the good news is my hcg continues to rise from 304 to 945 and 5 days later (today) went up to 6,734. My pregnancy symptoms has lessen and hasn't been as pronounced as last week (meaning I'm less tired and my breasts are less sored) so I was worried and wanted to recheck my hcg - to my surprise it went up to 6,734. So, anyone experience having a blighted ovum with the hcg level continuing to rise at this level? Thanks all for your response to this!

With a blighted ovum the HCG levels do start to rise normally, since there is placenta tissue with a blighted ovum. Eventually it slows down and then starts to drop and then the woman miscarries. This usually happens by 6 or 7 weeks though.

They most likely begin going up most commonly, however then begin to head up very slowly, then they drop. This is given that the placenta fabric is what reasons phases to head up in the beginning, however the fabric had to make a little one is not there. This is the purpose of approximately part of first trimester miscarriages.
