Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey Guys,
I’ve read all your updates and so appreciate you sharing the knowledge that you have acquired through your experiences. I’m desperate for any information at this point. I have a 5 yr. old little girl and had no problems with that pregnancy. However, it has taken us more than 2 years to get pregnant this time (I am now 38 and my clock is ticking).

I am now 5 ½ weeks and I started bleeding 4 days ago. We have changed insurance and I am now with a new Dr. who is very nonchalant about the fact that I might be in the beginning stages of a miscarriage.

I spent 5 hours in the emergency room last Friday night because he would not see me since I had not had my first appointment with him yet. I was told that the pregnancy was in tack (sack and embryo) and my HCG levels were at 5000. I’m not cramping, just bleeding. I called Dr. Wonderful on Monday and told them that I was still bleeding and that the emergency room doctor said that they needed to retest my levels to see if the HCG level had gone up.

Once again I was told to go back to the emergency room. I put my foot down and said that if he was going to be my doctor, I needed to see him. They gave me an appointment on Monday and retested my levels. He also did another ultrasound which still showed the pregnancy in tacked. He also did a pap which I question the timing of because I am now bleeding even more.

The nurse (not the Dr.) called me back today and said that my HCG levels had only gone up another 1000 since Friday and that I could just let the baby miscarry on its own or she could go ahead and schedule me a D&C for tomorrow.

At this point my mind is in a whirl. I understand that I am probably going to miscarry but I just feel that they are making this decision too quickly. I am planning to find another Dr. tomorrow (one with possibly a heart!) and get my levels checked again. I just wanted to know what yall think!!

Sorry so long but I hope to hear from yall soon. Thanks…
