Pregnancy Info HOME

janine- Well to my suprise my levels went from 92 to 582...I started to cry when the doctor told me cause i was preparing for the worst.. I have another test on thurs and then a doctors appt on wednesday where i hope they could see something.. I think im only 4 weeks 3 days...not sure really.. Im still really scared... I wish you the best tomorrow please keep me updated...

Janette, that is such great news. I cried, too, when my levels tripled in two days. Very happy for you. I go tomorrow for my first ultrasound. I'll let you know how it goes. Let me know how your appointment goes tomorrow, too. Take care.

Hi this is our first post here. We conceived our first child on on 20 April (we think). The first scan showed just a sack and the hGC levels at what we think is 5 weeks from LMP was 210. My OBYN called to say that I would definitely miscarry and that they would need do a D&C. We were shocked to say the least. Yesterday - beginning of week 6 I did another blood test and the hGC was 617. While this seemed positive to me the Dr is now concerned about an eptopic pregnancy so I'm heading in for another blood test tomorrow. The increase in hGC has made me feel somewhat positive again but my husband was so upset in the weekend that he is reluctant to get his hopes up again. Does anyone know if:
- there are definite tests the hospital can do to confirm an eptopic pregnancy?; and
-if we have any chance of a healthy baby with hCG levels this low.
I have not had any spotting and have mild pregnancy symptions - swollen breasts, occasional light nausea nd light headaches.
I'll update tomorrow after I get the results back from the third blood test. Thanks for listening.

Hello Everyone-
I am so thankful that I found this website I am also going through a similar situation. I had my first beta on 3/13 and the number was 51. I had another on 3/15 and that was 83. At that time my doctor told me that I would miscarry and to wait until af came and then make an appointment at that time. They wanted me to do another beta before I came in. On 3/20 I had another test and that number was 392. My dr. wants me to come in on Thurs. and have an ultrasound she said my numbers (if they are rising) should be around 1000. I am so confused one minute they tell me I am going to miscarry and the next minute they don't know. I have already had one miscarriage 5 yrs ago and have had several unsuccesful infertility treatments since then. This cycle we concieved naturally. I wish you all the best. Tammi

Hey Tammi, looks like we are in the same situation. Unfortunately I don't have any answers for you. I agree that it is so upsetting to be told you will miscarry one minute and being told there is a little hope the next. We have our fingers and toes crossed for you. Let us know how the next test turns out. J and N.

janine- Thank you.. Its sure been a roller coaster.. tomorrow is not my appt, sorry for the confusion its next wednesday,but thurs of this week i have my blood taken again. I will pray for you that all goes well tomorrow.. Please let me know!!!

To tammi and j & n.. Wishing you all the best outcomes and baby dust!!!!

I would just like to thank all of you for your support. I hope we all have positive results. I have my u/s tomorrow I will let you know how it turns out. I am very nervous. Tammi

Hi unfortunately bad news at our end. The hGC today went from 617 to 690 so the pregnancy is definitely not proceeding normally. The Dr's are now concerned about an eptopic pregnancy so I'm off for a special scan for that tomorrow afternoon. either way they want me to take drugs to end the pregnancy. my only hope is that I start bleeding naturally. So my hubby and I are off for a hot curry and lots of beer tonight then I'm going to come home and do 50 jumping jacks in the hope i'll miscarry naturally. If anyone has any suggestion on this please let me know. Its so sad but at least we have each other. Good luck to everyone else. Remember our experience doesn't mean yours will be bad as well.

janine. How did your ultrasound go??? Sorry to hear of your news J & N...

Janette, my ultrasound today at 6w1d was mostly really great. There was a sac and the fetus is exactly the size it should be. There was a heartbeat, which was so exciting. It beat at 160 bpm. The doctor said that was perfect. The only thing they are a little concerned about is the sac is a little on the small side even thought the fetus is right on. They took blood today to check my progesterone and estrogen levels and want me back for another ultrasound next Friday, the 31st. That's going to be a long wait. But she said if things look good then, then we can celebrate. So I wait, again. But I'm really OK with it. So grateful that otherwise things are great. I guess we'll both know more next week. Let's stay hopeful and think positively. Good luck to everyone else. I'm glad I found this place. It helps sharing with others in the same situation.

janine.. Well overall everything sounds like it went well and im very happy for you that you saw that heartbeat!!!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your next week appointment....i took blood this morning should get results back later this afternoon. .will keep you posted...

hey ladies,well things didnt go the way me and my husband wanted them to go... on wednesday i had to be at the hospital at 6am i had all the faith in the world that things where going to get better that the hcg would go up but on mon and tues i notice light brown spotting but just a little on both days.. well i was at the hospital i was in the waighting room waiting 4 the results and i had to go to the rest room well when i wiped it was red blood... i was sooo nervous i found the doc well later she told me the results went from 278 to 50 and i was having a miscariage..... from me being a mother of 2 i already know how preg is i never once spotted with either two.. in my heart i felt something was wrong.. but of course i kept the faith and prayied every night... its only been one day since the bad news but iam learning to be strong... i know this is not probably what alot of you with still hopes for ur babies and i dont blame you keep the faith just try to set urself up for what ever happens... i wish all of you the best of luck... and yes i will keep in touch and me and my husband will keep on trying!!! this would of been his first my other 2 are from a prior relationship.. may god bless you and ur unborn babies... take care soon 2 be mommies!!!

Hello Everyone-
Well I went for my u/s today and my doctor saw a small sac. She said that I am 4w5d. They were 4 days off on their calculations. She said this is normal that they can not pinpoint the exact day of conception. I am still considered high risk because I have had infertility problems for the last 5 yrs. I have to go back on 4/3 for another u/s. Good news today, sometimes I think doctors bring our worries on prematurely. J & N & Ladyred I am so sorry to hear of your news. Keep on trying, I will pray for you. Congratulations to you Janine!

hey guys ive seen none has really been wrighting... well tammi thats great news just keep the faith.. thanx for your concern.. as for me its been 3 dsys since 4 if you count the day because i started bleeding early in the morning the first day was horrible but now it feels like a regular menstration.. i have been
feeling sad and depressed at times but as the days go on i face reality.. i went to church last night and i feel way better... well i guess i will be writing near in the future.. i will be pregnant when i do !!! take care and godbless...

ladyredd- It is normal to be depressed and sad. Iv'e been through three and it is the hardest thing in the world to go through.. Just keep the faith and try to be positive!!! As far as for me my last hcg was 3,084 from 582 so doctor said it is looking good, but im still so scared. I go next wednesday for an ultrasound and hopefully they see a sac and a fetal pole... Its just hard not to feel nervous since i had been through 3 miscarriages. Good luck to all of you...

Hi Ladies-
My outcome is not so good. I had a miscarriage last night. It was one of the hardest things I have ever been through. My last one I had a D&C so it was over quickly. This one was natural and was very painful emotionally and physically. I am emotionally drained. For those of you who are going through the same thing how long will you wait before trying again? Part of me wants to start trying right away and the other part is afraid for another loss. My prayers are with all of you.
Tammi
