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?????

I had two miscarriages last year.I am pregnant again,My hcg level in 4.2 week was 194 and two days later it was 577.I'm on premetrium and scheduled for sonogram on 01/13.Do you think this can be a viable pregnancy?I'm very worried

Ann, it sounds like your hormone levels are high enough and they are doubling. Best of luck to you!!! I had my D&C yesterday, we will be trying again in 6 weeks. Hopefully, we will have better luck next time.

In December i had to go to doctor, who referred me to hospital, confirmed pregnant, after having abdominal pain, hcgs in 170, decreasing to 70's and then down to 40's, now at this time they are 45, has anybody experienced this, what do you suggest i could do, do you think it will go down naturally, i am in and out of hospital having beta hcg tests done. I hope somebody can help me, i have a 16 month old and hoping for another baby. Thank you.

Question to all: On fri had a confirmed pregnancy with hcg levels of 698...had some bleeding, cramping, clotting....went to emergency...had more bloodwork done and hcg came back at only 1088. Gyno said cervix was closed...but am still worried if it is viable....anyone offer any advice?

i recently went to the dr.s because of brown spotting, no painful cramping or nething, i think im about 6-7 wks. (my cycle was messed up tho, i got 2 periods in dec.) and all they kept saying was miscarriage, they sent for blood work and when i called the results came back that i had low levels of hcg. they have me set up to have more blood work done in 4 days, they also cancelled my first u/s. so my question is, is this normal procedure? are they jumping to conclusions too soon and does it sound as if im probably having a miscarriage? they really have me worried cuz i want this baby soo bad! any help/advise would be great!

Having read all of your experiences - I feel compelled to add my own. I have had two prevous miscarriages and am currently pregnant but was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage 12 days ago. I have no pain and no bleeding - I have no idea what my HCG levels are - they don't tell you things like that in the UK. I have another u/s on Friday but am terrified - I feel sick etc - am off work and going crazy. Is it possible that they have made a mistake - they said that there was no hopeif they couldn't see the heartbeat at 6 weeks, when a week before a different radiographer found it.

I to have had a similar experience. On 1/29 had some mild back cramps and spotten some very minimal brown discharge. Went in for a sonogram on 1/30 they found nothing but an enlarged uterus. Np told my husband and I we had miscarried. Sent us for an HCG that same day and asked to repeat it in 2 days to confirm miscarriage. Hcg on 1/30 came out to 899 on 2/1 came out 1445. Had a repeat sonogram yesterday still nothing just an enlarged Uterus. Had me repeat the HCG yesterday got the results 4200. So the NP tells me you might be pregnant with twins very ealry though. You might have miscarried a twin and will more then likely loose the other. Or you already miscarried but you body is still making the HCG. Last but not least a tubal pregnancy. But cant diagnose that till I feel some pain on 1 side. She apologies for leaving in Limbo as she calls it. But cant give me an definitive results. Has anyone ever heard about this before. I going to look for a second opinion with another doctor. As this NP just keeps on telling me I need a DNC.

B, I had an experience similar to yours with my second mc. The drs just don't know. I had an ERPOC (similar to a D and C) as there was no real hope left.

 

sharonl - February 12

Went to the hospital again on friday for another scan - they said there was no hope left and wanted to book me for an erpoc. I refused and asked for drug management, this meant going back to my gp and then being referred to another hospital. Once there, I had another scan and the specialist there disagreed with the midwife at hospital number 1. He thinks that there is still hope and has put me onto a course of hormone treatement. I return for another scan to see whether there is any change on Friday - fingers crossed.

well it's finally over. I started miscarrying the day before my scheduled D&C but they went ahead and did it. the surgery went quickly but there were some complications. but it's finally done now. still trying to decide whether we want to try again soon or just wait. i admit i'm terrified of having this happen again. best of luck to all of you.

Katielou, so sorry to hear about your m/c. I wish you all the best for the future. Sharonl, wow, that's really great that you have someone agreeing with you that there is still hope. I will pray for you. Also, you might want to check out www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com they have wonderful stories of "sure to miscarry" stories that had happy endings. Best of luck and keep us posted.

Wish I had some good answers. I have had all the symptoms of being pregnant yet early tests are negative and v____al ultrasound didn't show anything. After going thru the morning sickness and being so tired, backache , soar b___sts and all I now seem to be hungry all the time. Is it still possible that I may be pregnant and they just can't see it...
