teigan to sonia - September 27

a faint line on a test can be as faint as anything, i didnt believe i was pregnant with this one as the line was so faint i had to hold it up to the light just to see it, it was so light because my hcg was very low, sometimes there low when you have found out in the early stages that your pregnant, what test did you use, do not get worked up about this as we all know stress is not good for you ( or the baby) there is no reason why you would have a positive result with out been pregnant, let the gp do a blood test. good luck xxx

I want to know whether this can be a false positive. please reply asap. i m waiting. good luck to u all.

 

From Jenny to Sonia - September 27

With today's hpt's there is a very low false positive rate. Consider yourself pregnant and for your own peace of mind have your doctor do the hcg bloodwork to confirm. Keep us posted on the outcome of your dr. visit! (:

jenny - September 28

sonia, i'm so so sorry. i know how heart broken you must feel. miscarriages are incredibly painful and i know the sense of loss feels overwhelming for you right now. i have lost two babies and it is the most painful experience. please do not lose your hope and courage. you are stronger than you realize and do not have to suffer alone. there are women here, total strangers, who cry for you and pray for you at this moment. nothing we can say will take away your hurt, just know you are not alone in your pain and we are thinking of you and praying God will fill you back up with the hope and courage to get through this and not give up on your dreams. {{{big hugs}}} jenny

Honey, this is a very low result. I don't know your background but let me tell you about mine and then you may understand. I have lived on what my HcG levels are during my Pregnancies (8)--all would go up and down but nevery above 1000; needless to say they were all unsuccessful. I just found out I got pregnant on our own just 2months after trying (using fertility drugs) and was unsuccessful. My level was 3319 (I probably am only 2-3wks pregnant). 56hrs later I had another draw and they were over 6400. This is how I know I have a better chance with this one. I've had a tubal and I only have one side ovary/tube now. Hang in there. I was actually getting ready to start adoption process because of my success rate, emotional state, etc. IVF vs. adoption= chances seemed better with adoption and both the same cost. This must have reduced by stress and allowed us to conceive on our own. Good Luck!

 

Kim too~ - September 29

Well, my dr.s nurse called today with the last set of hcg numbers and it only went up 68 points (from 353 to 415). She started out by stating that she is "sorry to say" but the pregnancy is either etopic or will miscarry. I knew it from the first day because of the "achy" feeling in my stomache. I have been crying constantly all day and can't believe this is happening AGAIN, and so soon. My husband wants to give up now, but I really want to try one more time. The worst thing now is the next month or so of waiting to have the u/s done, and the waiting for the miscarriage ect.. He doesn't want me to keep going through this pain every few months. My dr.s nurse said that maybe I should go through a specialist next time. I don't know what they can do for me? I want to try again one minute, and the next I feel I should just appreciate the wonderful beautiful smart perfect little girl I have now and give up. I am so greatful for her. If I didn't have her I would have gone totally crazy by now. She is my life, and I know that there are some women who can't have any children at all, but I just wanted one more baby for so many reasons... it's hard to think of never being able to have another child..... I have so much anger right now that I just want to scream, yell, hit ect... I have to go in tomorow for one more hcg test, which I don't understand...then wait until my dr. calls me in for an u/s to see if it's an etopic or what. I'll keep everyone posted on what is happening, but now I know that it's pretty much over, and my heart is again broken.... I wish you all better luck with your pregnancies and babies...kisses to you all......

 

Terrie to Sonia and Kim too - September 29

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. My prayers will be with both of you and your little angels. I've had two miscarriages since May. I understand how painful it is. I know the feeling of not being able to go through it again. After my second miscarriage, I was so depressed. I told my husband that I couldn't go through another pregnancy. Those words hurt my husband a lot and he did not understand them. Its just so hard to finally concieve and to lose it again and again. Then see others around you get pregnant and carry them to term. About a week later, I was ready again. It took time, but I'm ready to try again whether its successful or not. If I am not successful a third time, then I will seek genetic counseling. Don't give up hope for you and the baby that it waiting. The way I saw it with my first miscarriage was that the baby was just on the wrong flight. I just need to wait for the right one. We all need to wait for the right flight to finally hold our miracles in our arms.

 

Krissy to Kim too & everyone - September 30

My heart goes out to all of you, especially Kim too. I'm so sorry for your losses. I, too, have had multiple miscarriages. Just had my 5th about a month ago. Please don't give up & lose hope. I don't know where the strength come from, but somehow we find it & decide to give it another shot. I know how hard it is when you know in your heart that you are meant to have more children ( I have 2 beautiful boys)...maybe they are what give us the strength because we know that because of them it is possible...I would talk to your Dr. about seeing a specialist. They do so many amazing things these days & test for so much more than your regular OB~GYN does. Your problem maybe something simple, such as needing extra supplements of progesterone when you conceive. You never know but at least you know that you can get pregnant & have a successful pregnancy. That's half the battle. I love my specialist & it's such a comfort to have the constant rea__surance when you see them constantly in the beginning of a pregnancy. Good luck...I'll be praying for you as I'm sure many of us will. This is a great forum & the love & support is wonderful. Hang in there & hopefully you won't have to wait too long for something to happen & then you can begin your healing & hopes & dreams for another beautiful child to hold in your arms. Baby Dust Sprinkles to all of you. XOXO

33 was your second number? They should give you two numbers: One from the blood test you did two days before that. Thats how my IVF clinic does it. My numbers were 23 and then 43. They compare the two and make sure they are going up, almost doubling. Hope that helps.

 

kelly - October 6

had a m/c on 9/22 level was at 32, now 2 weeks later my level is 13 can it still be from m/c or can it be a new pregnancy

 

Natasha - October 6

This site has gave me some hope...I took a pregnancy test 3 weeks ago this coming Sunday. My last LMP was August 16th...so I should be 7wks and 6days this Monday, but I had some bright red bleeding this past Sat., I am so afraid that I have m/c. I was supposed to have my 1st appt w/ the dr today...I had to go early (Monday 10/3) because of the bleeding. They immediately did an u/s and said that I showed that I was only 4wk & 6days...they checked my hcg that day and it measured what they told me was ?600,000 and they said that was correct for 4w6d...the dr said since I was bleeding they would do another hcg test on Wed (it seemed like it would never come around!)...that test showed ?800,000 (I don't know why the numbers are so different from the others I've seen on this forum)...anyways the dr said that although it went up, it should have doubled and I go for another u/s on Mon. The bleeding continues, but is brownish, so it is old blood which is good I was told. I don't know how I should feel...this is my first preg and I have only been married for 4mths...I had been on Yasmin birth control and went off of it and I only had 1 period after that before I became pregnant (could that have anything to do with my situation?)...I am sooo sad and confused :(...my husband is so supportive and loving...I am thankful for him...I know all is in God's hands and I trust in Him...I need some support from anyone who has a similar experience...does anyone have any thoughts for me?

 

tamara - October 6

Kelly: I have had 4 miscarriages. It took FOREVER for my levels to go down. I kept track of them every week in a journal, and the lower they got, the slower it took. Its also a mathmatical statistic, thats just the way it works. So...thats normal. Hope that helps.
