Thank you. Yes. Exactly. Most medical professionals deal in run-of-the-mill things. I have exactly one family member who is at this point actively trying to help me, even if she does not know how, and says she has been through the same ignorance with her rare medical condition, even though there is like in your case

Yeah, your assessment is worthless seeing as it's there. Do I need to zoom in really close and circle the eyes for you?

This is an adnexal view. It has two sacs and more fit into the view, it can't possibly get up close enough to get the heartbeat visible clearly.

Each still taken alone does not get the best picture but combined all the features eventually come into focus. Watch the video (from 22 on, the prelude is just to show you the

Look, I appreciate your well-wishes but you're incredibly patronizing and don't seem to be looking at the actual facts. There are two clear gestational sacs, as I'll show you in the incredibly low-quality but still semi-clear video I took while scrolling through my latest ultrasounds. Again, since I lack a comp with a

WRONG WRONG WRONG. In the case of trophoblastic disease accompanying a live gestation, hCG levels can easily soar beyond detectable levels IN BLOOD IMMUNOASSAYS as described in this article. It notes India has a particularly high rate of these cases.

In other words - (reply 2, see other one) - none of these doctors who don't believe the hook effect is a thing would even let me give them a diluted sample in the first place, I am asking and they say no like I'm trying to pull some kind of insane trick on them.

Hi Audrey, I tried diluting it but I don't have endless money for pregnancy tests. I tried a series of seven dilutions but have no clue if I diluted it too much or two little, or shook it well enough or not. I have read one case where only by 1/100 dilution did it work and I'm not sure how to measure that accurately

I'm not calling you out on not being a doctor. I am saying I hope that nobody unable to look at that and see the fetus becomes a doctor, as it would be one more added to the pile of radiologists who don't know what they're doing. I don't go by who has what certificate, I go by who has what knowledge, since a lot of

The retired radiologist father-in-law of Dr. Mackzum specifically said abdominal ectopic, which if you read up on it is very possible. There's a case study about a live full-term abdominal ectopic birth, but it sure isn't going to happen without medical intervention.

Hi Anna, could you please promote this comment in order to give a balanced picture of what is going on? This person describes in detail her ordeal of having what doctors were calling no pregnancy through many tests and scans and eventually having a baby. It's just lack of intelligence causing doctors to not see what

I am thinking of testing again soon since my last test was a few weeks ago (at I think 19 weeks) and if it is the Hook Effect it is possible for it to decline in the late second trimester but I also personally know people who NEVER got positives but had a baby.

No, that is false at least until well into the second trimester. The Hook Effect actually increases with time at least until the modes of HcG production switch to the placenta around 16 weeks depending on rate of placental growth. In the EARLY STAGES of the hcg reaching above testable levels, it may fluctuate for a

I posted on a different Kinja account in reply to DCIM where I mentioned what Anna purposely did not include in the story. All three of the doctors cannot see me as their patient. The first is a retired radiologist, the father-in-law of Mr. Mackzum. The second was a Williamsburg CityMD doctor who believed based on my

Cause I need medical care. Plain and simple. There is a dead fetus in me that isn't coming out on its own and a live fetus with anencephaly which would need induction to come out because anencephalic fetuses lack the portion of the brain required for their role in the normal birth process. I have been in extraordinary

Yep, over cause you have nothing intelligent to say and instead resort to making nasty nonsensical remarks that belie the fact you're the one who needs help.

They are missing that for which they are not looking. Inattentional blindness. 83% of radiologists miss that for which they aren't looking (Trafton Drew's gorilla ultrasound study, 2013).. Doctors rely solely on radiologists' reports to make their diagnosis. Recipe for disaster in every case of false negative hCG

Okey dokey. Well I'm glad you haven't chosen the field of radiology then. Thanks. If April comes and there's no live birth then it's safe for me to get a CT scan/MRI to visualize the calcified remains so they can be gotten the heck out of there. If it is an ectopic pregnancy like three doctors said it has no way to

The ultrasounds already prove a pregnancy to anyone who accepts that the hook effect exists and that negative pregnancy testing is possible. What every doctor who called me not pregnant has in common is that they have never heard of the Hook Effect and asserted that false negative hCG testing in pregnancy is not

SO, accurately stating that I have heard of the Hook Effect whereas none of the specialists I am seeing have is a red flag? Documented intelligence is a red flag. Getting thrown in a mental hospital for accurately stating that negative tests are possible and that 12-week-old fetuses indeed have bones (fun fact: the

I have no interest in becoming a professional doctor. In the specialized area relevant to my case, "cryptic pregnancy" (in the sense of this researcher's work, which correctly identifies the reality of blood and urine testing inaccuracies and of low-birthweight babies that are missed on ultrasound til much later,
