an off subject question to anyone

[Guest guest]

Afternoon all,

I have an off the pancreas question to ask. I know we have a few nurses

on board that might be able to help.

I have a friend who is 40 1/2 years old. She is 6 1/2 weeks pregnant.

Her HCG (?) has started going down instead of doubling, but not by much.

She has had 3 miscarriages in the past, but not all in a row. They

thought that might be happening to her now. She went for a regular sono

today in the doctors office and the doctor said all looked good, but is

sending her to radiology for a HIGH TECH sono tomorrow.

Questions: If the hormone goes down, isn't that a bad thing?

If they see all is good on a in office sono, why would they send her for

a HIGH TECH sono?

Would they hear a heartbeat this soon?

I am worried for her and don't know any other medical people to ask.

Thanks for letting me ask something different.

Sandy,

the only part of this question I can answer is that they were able

to hear my daughter's heartbeat at 6 weeks.
