1st Trimester

Dropping hCG but no bleeding????

Hi everyone. I have a sad update to my post on Friday. My hCG was 153 on Wednesday and went up to 469 on Friday, despite the fact that I was having HORRIBLE cramping. I had a tiny bit of brown spotting on Saturday and Sunday, but only when I wiped. I called my doctor and basically insisted on another blood test, and the one on Monday was 158. I have resigned myself to the fact that I miscarried (my third time), but the other two times there was lots of red blood with the cramping. Shouldn't I be bleeding by now? Can I have a miscarriage without blood, or would I need a D&C if it doesn't come out, even though I was not quite 6 weeks along????

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.

    your uterus will definitely have to shed its contents. if it doesn't happen naturally, they'll probably do a d&c.

    you're in my thoughts.

    When I had my second m/c at 13 weeks, I had no symptoms, no bleeding.  I went in for an u/s and the baby had stopped growing and did not have a heartbeat.  It ended in a d & c.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.  When I had my m/c, my HCG dropped for weeks before I started bleeding.  However, it started at 31,000, so it was much higher than yours.  I think HCG has to get to a certain level before you start bleeding, and you're probably getting close to that.  You can also try asking your doctor when to expect bleeding.

  • Thanks, everyone. I am trying to be positive but we're really disappointed. We've been through it before, though, so we can get through it again. Best wishes to everyone else!
