Here is my story

from the time I found out I was pregnant I had some light light brownish spotting. There was one day were there was some red blood (only enough to show up on tissue when I wiped). So I went to the drs that day (3/16/07), they did an ultra sound which showed nothing (to be expected since I was only 4 1/2 weeks along) my cervix was still closed so that gave me hope. He ran my hcg levels that day and then had me come back in two days to test again the results are as follows.

3/16 93 iu/l
3/18 94 iu/l

i know these are obviously indicative of a miscarraige. The dr informed me I had lost my baby and wanted me to test again in 2 to 3 days to make sure my levels have dropped, if they did not drop he wanted me to take a pill so that I can expel the contents of my uterus. So today I went back and my levels are as follows.

3/21 340 iu/l

i have not spoken with my dr yet (i work in the lab so I looked up my own results) so I am unsure if this means I could still have a healthy pregnancy. I don't want to get my hopes up and I am assuming I have miscarried but my husband has spent hours on the internet looking up all kinds of cases were similar things happened and ended in a healthy pregnancy. Oh yeah, I have since stopped spotting and I hace no pain and never did. My boobs still heart but other than that I have no pregnancy symptoms. I am unsure of what my dr will want to do but I am thinking if he still wants me to take the pill I will wait atleast till I am far along enough that something should show up on u/s if I see nothing I will be willing to take the pill. What do you ladies think? I will get back to you on this one and let you know what the dr wants but until then please give me your opinions.

Thanks

Hi there, i think you should do what you feel is right, even if that means waiting a few weeks. Don't be pushed into anything unless there is a major health risk factor. You would bleed very heavy if you had miscarried.
