My wife is right at six weeks, according an u/s at 5weeks and 4days. They saw the sac, and it was a little mis-shaped. Her first blood test was at 30,000, three days later at 27,000. Any hope that this will not result in miscarriage? Its our first. Its very scary.

Tim - I am sorry for what you are going through. The waiting and not knowing is torture. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best. However, from what i understand, declining HCG numbers are never really a great sign. The levels of 29-30,000 are relatively low but not necessarily bad. I m/c at 5.5 wks, but my HCG wasn't even over 150. Now, that is BAD. You may want to do some searches on "dropping HCG levels in frist trimester" and see what you find. Good luck!

Tim- It sounds like to me you might be in for a little bit of a wait... Waiting for blood test results and ultrasound visits. I know that can be really difficult. My dr. told me the best way to see how an early pregnancy is progressing is by an ultrasound - not hCG levels or by the dates. So hang in there. Do you have another appt. scheduled soon for another u/s? I know it is scary... It seems to me like your wife has a great support system in you. Be there for eachother! I'll say a prayer for you. x x
