Beth, I just read your post more carefully, and it seems you did miscarry. I'm so sorry. It's such a painful experience to go through. To answer your question, my first miscarriage I went to my internist to have bloods drawn on the day I missed my period (after + HPT). My number came pack at 90.6. At that point, I was looking around for a OBGYN, and for whatever reason, didn't go back for a second draw, since the number seemed fine. Then, around 5.5 weeks, I started spotting. A few days later, I was sent for a vaginal ultrasound, (I was really bleeding by that point), and nothing was there. I was handed a report that stated: Likely spontaneous miscarriage. I was in shock. It all happened so quickly. When I showed my husband the paper, he couldn't believe it, we were so upset. But the bleeding had begun and in the next few days I cramped (like never before) and finally passed some tissue and it was over. Every week for a month I had blood draws as the HGC trended back to below 5. So that was misscarriage number 1. Then, after trying again for 8 months, I'm sitting here in the same boat. Waiting, painfully, to start bleeding...my husband, still holding out some hope. It's really all about getting those numbers back tomorrow. Who knows, maybe they'll be high, maybe I'll go have another ultrasound next week and we'll see a viable little peanut with a beating heart...that would be a dream come true. Best wishes to all who read this.
