Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi everyone, all you have given me hope. I have been getting my period on time every month, except this mo. it lasted much longer than usual almost 12 days longer. It stopped for one day and I sex w/bf and then it started back up the next day. At first I thought I was going through menopause, I'm 38, but then a friend suggested a hpt. lo and behold both were pos. but I cont. to spot. After 6hr stay in the er, i got conflicting stories from 2 drs & a nurse. The dr that did not examine me but only viewed my sonogram said there was no baby, the nurse said it didnt look good and the dr that DID examine me said I am pregnant and need to have my hcg levels checked in 2-3 days. My levels @ the time were 4179. I was diagnosed w/ a threatened abortion and a questionable embryonic sac. After going thru the fiasco of getting an appt. they drew blood 3 days later, my hcg levels only went up @ 1000, but the spotting stopped during my er visit. I am a nervous wreck. I have a 2 1/2yr, who is blessing, I had him early (@ 25 wks) so I'm scared about this. After reading everyone's posts, I can see how the drs are pushing for D&C. Since I cannot be sure of WHEN I got preg., I'm a t a loss...any suggestions?
