Well I guess I'm in the same situation. My dr isn't pushing too much for the d and c. But I started bleeding on 11-18-05 and I haven't stopped since. I started pa__sing clots on 11-23-05 and then stopped pa__sing them on 11-27, but I was still bleeding. now it is 12-02 and I started pa__sing clots again. My Dr tells me that she wants to do an ultrasound to see if there is a baby in me still, even if my bloodtests come back low hcg. I won't know until Monday if they're low though. Its kinda hard though, I already thought I had a miscarriage and now there may be a chance that I'm still pregnant. I already dealt w/the greif and cried over it, but it's gonna be much harder now knowing that I may have to chose between my unborn child's life and my own. I already have a beautiful son who is 4.5 months old, but I guess you never get used to the idea of losing a child. I hope things go well for me

Oh yeah I was 6.5 wks along when I started bleeding, and it wasn't just spotting, it was a Fri. at 7:30 in the evening and It just started pooring. Don't know what that means really. Everyone whom I've read have had miscarriages start out w/just spotting, but I was the total opposite and I've been bleeding heavily ever since...

I'm just reading some of this stuff and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with this issue! I was going to a Midwife and when she examined me she found my uterus to be smaller than 8weeks so she did an ultra sound and it dated me at 5weeks. SO she decided to do a quant. HCG and then called me after only 2 readings and said my HCG wasn't going up fast enough and I was going to lose this baby. So being a first time mom (an educated one, but still first time) I was really upset after I calmed down I did some research and talked to my mom (a health professional) I found out that she had low HCG levels for all four of her pregnancies and her last pregnancy was dated a 3 weeks later than it really was! Anyways I hope that everything will be ok, I've had no signs of a miscarriage and my normal pregnancy symptoms are increasing.

i have a similar problem to, i wish there were answers but so far i havent had any, basically i started bleeding a week b4 my period was due, but it was strange as it wasnt as heavy as a period wod b and it only lasted 4 days then it went away for 2-3 days then came back as spotting for 12 days i went to the doctor who did a pregnancy test that came back positive, at the time i thought NO WAY??? this cant b right!!! any way so the spootting went off and on, now its been 2 weeks since my period was due and of and on spotting the whole time, its really driving me around the bend, any way the DOC did a HCG test that came back low she did tell me what the numbers were, she didnt even tell what a LOW HCG tst ment... so i went on my merrly way... deciding what to do with the baby, but i had decided to have the baby i already have an 11 month old who was my little christmas mirical last year! so i was getting worried as time went by and i new instantly that things were wrong, i had such a normal pregnancy last time that this time it was nothing like it, who knows mayb i was paraniod? so i went back to the docs she did another HCG test (7 says after my last one) and then sent me for a scan, her calculation was that i was 8 weeks pregnant. that was impossable in my books!! i has s_x like a month ago and that was it. so i went to my scan.... and she said im sorrry but i cant see a pregnancy here. i was so deverstated!! i have never cried to many tears in my life, by the end of the day i had nothing left to cry!! the scan lady said that she codnt see any thing but wod pa__s the tests on to my Doc and she will ring me later in the day. i was so deverstated! all i got was im soorry i cant see a pregnancy! and allday those words just went thro my head over and over! i do recall her saying somthing about a little bit of fluid? and a little sist on my overly that shod hopfully go aaway on its own she tells me!! so later that evening beleving that i have lost my baby. i get a call from the doctor who tells me my Scan results are INCONCLUSIVE!! and that my HCG levels have risen. im sitting on the end of the phone saying WHAAATTT?? i was told that i lost this baby and ur telling me that im raising?? soo soo confused!! i just wanted to greive my loss and move on with me life, not b stuck in this situation where they cant find my baby!! so either its an eptopic pregnancy where i cant see happening sure ive been bleeding but it just doesnt feel right.. and way so heading off to the doctors on monday AGAIN!! hoping for another christmas mirical!!

i hope you get that miracle! let us know what happens.

I am going though the same thing as some of you. I was told by my obgyn that I was 7 1/2 week and i started to spot so i went to see urgent care and they did blood work and check me. They said that the blood work hcg levels had risen but were a little low that i should come back the next day and get a v____al ultrasound done. I did and they could not see the baby's heartbeat or a sac.Nut that i did not measure 7 1/2 but 5 weeks and 4 days. they said that I would probably start bleeding and miscarriage. i am so saddend by this. But it has been 5 days since then and i started bleeding a little but have not pa__sed anything. I took a blood test again to see if the hcg levels continue to rise but i won't know until tues the results. I am freaking out. but find comfort in the posting by all of your experiances and now have a little bit of hope. any suggestions.

how long should i wait after having s_x to take a pregnancy test?

hello everyone. I am sort of going through the same thing. I feel pregnant. Breasts are sore, back is sore, tired all the time and I get seriously nauseous by the smell of chocolate! CHOCOLATE!! So okay, that would lead me to believe I'm pregnant. So I test. HPT says no. I would be about 7 weeks by now if my calculations are correct (they're probably not as I wasn't charting or anything). So I went to the doctor and he's ordered blood tests. But I won't find out for another 2 days! The doctor thinks I'm pregnant, I think I'm pregnant and everyone asks me if I'm pregnant (b___hy and nauseous). But no tests confirm it. Is it possible for my HCG levels to be so low they don't register?? If so, what does that mean for the baby???? Thanks for the venting space.

I have gone through IUI and I should be around 6 weeks pregnant. My HCG levels are extremely low, 79 last Thursday. I have no spotting and my b___st are extremely sore. Does anyone know what this might mean?

T, my level was only 83 at 15dpo, and I was told it was low by everyone. They told me to wait a week before testing again. Just got my numbers and they jumped to 2800. After a m/c in early Nov, this makes me feel little better. When are you getting your next test? I'll pray for you. Keep us posted!

Patty, thank you so much for sharing. I am going back to see my doctor next Tuesday. Hopefully I will get some good news as well. It has been so stressful. Good luck to you!!!

I'm going thru the same thing. Dr. says I am seven weeks by the ultrasound but there is no fetus and no heartbeat, however hCG levels are still rising, but slowly. Dr. wants me to have a DNC. I have had some very light spotting twice but both times it stopped within an hour or so. Don't know what to do now....I'm not ready to give up but i'm afraid I'm setting myself up for major disappointment.

Katielou2, I did the same thing. I had rising HCG's albeit they were not doubling and I had spotted once. They told me from the time I was 5 weeks until I was 11 weeks that I needed a D&C. Once your numbers get over 1200, you should see a sac and they did with me and after 1500 there should be a yolk, but there wasn't with me. I waited until 11 weeks, had one more ultrasound to be sure, then I agreed to the D&C which was very hard to do with my numbers still rising and the fact that this was my first pregnancy at age 33. Since the D&C, I've had another miscarriage, but I had this one naturally with the numbers going down on their own. I don't want to make you upset or down, but I also don't want to give you the false hopes that were fed to me in case it comes down to the D&C after all. Just prepare yourself for the worst just in case and if it turns out to be ok, then you will be especially thankful. Keep us posted.

Katielou, check out the website www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com/ There are many stories of hope on the board. People who waited and then found a nice strong heartbeat and baby. Of course not everyone gets a miracle, but you'd be surprised how many doomed pregnancies went on to healthy babies. Again, not trying to give false hope, but sometimes things do turn around. Best of luck to you!!!!!!!!

wow, after hearing all this i don't what to think about my situation...i am 8 weeks pregnant, and i just started bleeding yesterday morning, my doctor gave me an injection to stop the bleeding, and told me to stay in bed, it slowed it down but after the medicine wore off the bleeding got heavier...i had pa__sed some blood clots this morning, but i don't have alot of pain just like normal period cramps. i saw my doctor today and she gave me an ultra sound and a transv____al ultrasound, nothing can be seen, but i had an ultasound at 5 weeks the first visit, there was a tiny spot in the center of my uterus...then i had another ultasound at 6 and a hlf weeks and there was something in the middle of my uterus, now today there is nothing and my doctor says my uterus has grown but she als see's something that appears to be outside the uterus about 3 centimeters and now she tells me i could possibly have an ectopic preg. and i need to have another blood test done on wed. to see if hgc. levels have risen...so i' just don't know what to think about all of this?????
