It sounds to me like you had a molar pregnancy. I had a molar pregnancy but it took my doctor 3 weeks to finally determine it. They originally told me I was going to miscarry after doing a u/s and seeing debris inside of the sack. I was shocked because I was feeling all the pregnancy symptoms and had had no spotting. I wanted to miscarry naturally, but nothing happened for 2 weeks. Finally I set up another appointment and demanded another u/s. This time they found that it was a molar pregnancy and scheduled me for a d&c. They told me later that a lot of people with a molar pregnancy do bleed, but sometimes they don't miscarry unless they get a d&c. My hcG levels were through the roof like yours is. That is the one thing that should tip them off that it is a molar. After the d&c, they test you a lot to make sure your levels are going down so they know they got everything out. The only good part about the experience is that molar pregnancies were never formed babies. It is a genetic mix-up and a baby is not able to form, but for some reason it attaches itself to the uterus and acts like a pregnancy, when in fact it is more like a parasite. That information helped me emotionally to feel like I didn't really lose a baby. However, they did make me wait about a year before I was 'cleared' to get pregnant again...that was the hardest part by far. Good luck. I hope to hear that everything got sorted out with your dr.
