if these hcg results are 48hrs apart the miscarriage is inevitable if they are 24hrs u may still have a chance but at 5 weeks your hcg should be no less than 960. you will ovulate 2-4 wks after m/c cause sometimes it will delay the next af sorry and good luck too uEven my DR. is ';on the fence'; about my pregnancy/miscarriage...Any advice out there?
A friend of mine had the same symptoms you are describing - heavy bleeding, cramping, clots, etc.
Her son was born prematurely five months later.
Give yourself a few weeks and do a retest and see what's going on. You may be pregnant - you may not be. It's hard to tell right now. As challenging as it will be you need to be patient.
I have no dealt with it, but I do know from experience that your hcg level doubles every 2 days. Some people do bleed through out there pregnancy also. I hope that it helps a little
you will have to wait a week from the time you last tested your hcg...and test again and again until you test comes back negatiev for pregnantcy.
some people do bleed throughout their entire pregnancy and as far as the ultrasound i had one today (im 6 weeks) and it was hard to find the baby but we did hear the heart beat
Your hcg levels will continue to slowly rise, sometimes for weeks, until your body recognizes that the embryo didn't survive. There are still cells in your uterus that are growing (there may even be a gestational sac), and that is what is causing your hcg levels to rise. Once your body realizes that the embryo hasn't survived, you will begin to bleed and the actual miscarriage will happen. Usually around this time, that is when your hcg levels will start to drop. It can take a month or so for your levels to drop completely. you are likely to ovulate about 2-3 weeks after the bleeding begins. Your hcg level does NOT have to be at 0 for you to ovulate. The period of time after a miscarriage is a very fertile time so definitely keep trying and doni't give up.
I would like to offer you some hope but I don't want to mislead you. With hcg levels like yours, the chances of a successful pregnancy are slim to none. I just went through the same thing this month so I know what you are going through. My first beta was only 88 at 16 days post ovulation. The next one was 151, then a week later it was only 450, then 5 days later it was only 1000. My bleeding started right after it hit 1000. I knew right away it was doomed because those levels are just really terrible. That didn't make it any easier though. I am still really upset about it. I am sorry for what you are going through and that I can't give you any hope.
I also wanted to say that I have had 5 ectopics as well, and none of them were ever seen in my tubes on the ultrasound. They were just kind of hiding in there somewhere. I just don't want you to think there is no chance of that. Keep it in the back of your mind and if you have any shoulder blade pain or intense pain in your pelvis, call your doc or go to the ER immediately.
regarding what i think is your main question, it can take awhile to start ovulating again or no time at all. My friend ovulated 5 days after hers and I was 6+ months. I really don't know how far the HCG has to go back down though (I would assume to full normal). You may still be preggers witht the levels continuing to go up though and have a weird period. Some women do go through that with pregnancy. With my ectopic pregnancy, there was no sign of anything and it all looked healthy down there. Regarding that, I would get a second opinion.
wow sorry to hear that, I just know that when I found out I was pregnant I was 4 weeks and my vaginal ultrasound only showed the little sack where the baby grows, a dark spot (the placenta) so I didnt see a baby in there til I was 7 weeks pregnant.. I know its hard, but dont stress and wait a week or two and get another ultrasound, as long as your levels rise then you are still pregnant. your situation also alarms me about doctors out there who dont have enough experience to decide on whats really going on with a patient like you, i always make sure my ob gyn is board certified and has at least 10 years experience I bet my dr. knows of a case like yours with an answer...good luck, have faith, and take care.
I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks and my hcg levels never went up,they just continued to go down , with my second pregnancy at 5 weeks i started bleeding heavily , i went to the hospital ,the er docs told me i was having another miscarraige and to go home and wait it out , my levels were very low , i bled for a week or so , the doctors office kept drawing my blood every other day for about one week and found that my levels were going back up , eventually the bleeding stopped and i ended up having a beautifull healthy baby girl 8 months later! maybe that is whats happening with you? I do to this day think that i may have lost my daughters twin and that would explain the low levels and bleeding , and you are very early so its not wierd at all that they didnt see a baby , all they would see is a sac and if they didnt see the sac maybe its in a sopt that is hard to pick up with ultrasound? its a great sign that your levels are going back up ! good luck with everything.
