Pregnancy Info HOME

I am going through a terrible ordeal and I found this site through a search. I found out I was pregnant with a HPT and scheduled to have a blood test. Three days before my appt., I starting having pains in my vagina and the next day I started bleeding. I went in to the hospital and they did a PT and drew blood. They also did a ultra sound and saw that I was 5 weeks which was very hard to determine, as it was so early. The baby was just a speck but it confirmed that it was there. Sent me home and told to get bed rest. The next day cramping started and bleeding became heavier went back to hospital, drs did another HCG test and pelvic. Cervix closed and uterus still felt pregnant. HCG however dropped from 1500 to 750. Told that it wasnt a good sign and Id probably miscarry. Said theyd monitor it with follow up HCG in two days. Returned in two days after having more heavy bleeding and passing clots a couple hours earlier. I figured that I had lost the baby already but went to the hospital to be checked. Bleeding and cramping had subsided, did internal ultrasound and pelvic exam told the baby was still there and cervix still closed. Did another HCG and sent home to rest. Called by nurse next day said that level had dropped again to 300's and it didnt look good, Told that I'd have to come in a few more times for more tests to follow levels. Theyd have to follow until levels reached 2. Very disappointed but told story that a friend of my sister had gone through the same thing with her pregnancy and her level had dropped to 2 and then started rising again. SHe had a healthy baby boy. Im hoping that is the case and will hold off on the D&C when the Drs suggest it. This baby is very much wanted and Im trying not to lose hope.
