Hi I am almost certain I had a miscarriage but need help. First test came out positive very faint line 5 days ago but have been spotting everyday for about a week. Spotting is only when I go the bathroom and light but I passed what looked like a blood clot a few days ago and I assumed it was the miscarriage completing. Took another test today to see if the line would be gone but faint line (looks even darker than first) is still there. Has anyone gone through this? Will be seeing obgyn next week since to be checked out. super nervous as this would be a second miscarriage.. :(

Re: Did I miscarry?

  • Please call your doctor. Once you have the positive HPT, that's all the info that you're going to get from it reliably - your body was pregnant, and there's that hormone in your body. It can take a while for your hormones to return to normal (sometimes months even after a loss), so it can't tell you anything about the status of your baby. Your doctor can do a beta HCG and check that level over time to see if it's increasing as it should, increasing but too slowly for a viable pregnancy, decreasing because of a loss, or doing something weird like going up and down (that happened to me with an ectopic). They can also do an ultrasound to check for the baby. Your HPT and the internet just can't give you that information.

  • I have had multiple blood clots for the past week now, they finally stopped and now I’m spotting.  I went to the hospital and my HCG levels were very high, I had to go to a different hospital for more testing and when I did, they didn’t tell me if I miscarried or if I was okay or if the baby was okay.  They made me take a pregnancy test yesterday and it was still positive.  Every time I go to the hospital they take my blood and urine and check my HCG levels.  I’m making an appointment with my original doctor today because I know he can run an ultrasound and tell me.  The earliest my ob could get me in was the 22nd.  If there is something wrong, they should just tell me.
    Did I miscarry????
  • You should call your OB and ask for your HCG Beta numbers.  If they're increasing, your PG is on track.  If they're decreasing or staying stagnant, then your PG is in jeopardy.  Unless you're past like 7 weeks or something when you should be able to see a heartbeat, at that point the HCG numbers sort of become stagnant I believe.
