Here we go again....To miscarry or not to miscarry

Queencocobrown

On Tuesday, I took a pregnancy test at work (yeahhh..I was impatient) and it was positive. Since I was feeling a bit crampy (specifically on my left side) I was nervous and I made an appointment with my doctor the next day since I have history of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. A couple of hours later, I decided to go to the hospital because it was getting a bit more noticeable. Long story short, I started to bleed, I expelled a clot and they said that I miscarried. They even went so far to tell me that the baby was no longer in the sac. I went today to follow up with my regular Dr and he tells me that the baby is still in the sack. He gave me progesterone, took my blood and told me to go back in 2 days. Now, I am confused as hell. Is this why they didn't do a d&c?? Any thoughts?

Honestly I have no idea. I wouldn't even think about getting a D&C until it was confirmed that there is no baby or that you miscarried.

The miscarriage and pregnancy loss board might be a better place to ask this question. They will be more knowledgeable since some of the women here might not have dealt with this before. Good luck!

I can't answer your questions. I just wanted to give you T&P.

I don't want to get your hopes up, but it sounds like you are still pregnant.

The bleeding could have been from a few different things.  I hope everything turns out positively for you!

I hope so too. Currently, I am not bleeding. The only rime I have noticed bleeding is when i instert the progesterone pills vaginally and it is on the insert. It is brown. So, I am hoping for the best too. I am still very concerned though.

I'm sorry you're in limbo. I hope you have good news at your follow up.

I've been mostly lurking but will chime in here - I found the hospital to be useless as far as the possibility of miscarriage went.  Your OB is much more likely to be able to tell what is going on because they know what they are looking for. Do what they tell you to do and follow up with them.  Fingers crossed for good news!

Well, went to the doctor yesterday and my hcg has gone up in 1 day from 6580 to 7779...I am a bit concerned because I know it should double within 2-3 days. It was only one day. So,  cant really tell if it's good or bad. Also, we saw a heartbeat but it was low. She said I measured at 5 weeks and baby has a heart rate of 103. I am technically supposed to be Salomo 7 weeks. Perhaps I Ovulated late. Even though the news is better than I thought, I am still worried. I have slight cramping still. I just hope all works out...I have to admit though, this is some kind of miracle.

FWIW at 6 weeks with both of my girls, their hb was 120. I imagine at 5 weeks it was probably lower than that; probably like your baby near 103. Try and relax.

I was all set to respond and then I saw that @carseat did. Listen to her. She's wise.

Thanks ya'll. I am nervous because I feel a bit crampy and my boobs are not hurting like they were. I am trying to stay positive. I am praying that my little one makes it all the way. I really want this baby
