Am I about to miscarry? Or should I hold out hope?

Hi all...I've posted in the getting pregnant board, and initially, in the 1st trimester board.  Now, here I am...with questions.

This month is our first cycle for baby #1.  Although not temping, I did OPKs, and kept an eye on CM through this cycle.  Negative OPKs on 9/14 - 9/17.  Positive OPK on 9/18!  Had sex all through that week, but the last time we had sex was 9/19.  

9/23 - light spotting

9/25 - slightly more spotting, concerned, went to ob, CNRP ordered an HCG level.

9/26 - results of 9/25 HCG - 493

9/29 - results of HCG - 421, progesterone 9.1

9/30 - having a 3rd HCG done

So, now there's no spotting, no cramping, no problems that I detect on the outside.  Do you think I might still be able to carry this baby, or is this an impending miscarriage?  AF is due tomorrow, so I'm not sure what to think right now.

    So sorry you are having to go through this. Unfortunately, you may not receive positive responses because of the nature of this board. My situation didn't work out. What I can tell you is this, I was in your similar situation and it took over a week for me to miscarry once my levels started to drop. I had 5 sets of b/w and they initially doubled but then only rose... eventually falling and at 6 weeks, I miscarried.

    Has your doctor/nurse said anything or prompted you to worry? There are success stories online but they only gave me false hope. My T&P are with you during this time... just don't hold it in... talk to people, especially your friends.

    Nurse just said it could be... but they wanted to see a 3rd beta before deciding that.  What I can't understand is how my HCG was already in the 400s at 6 dpo (9/25) and then dropping to 421 at 9 dpo.  For 9 dpo, 421 seems high according to the charts I'm finding.  But a drop is a drop... I guess.  I just wish I could have some feeling like this was going to turn out okay.

    Always hold out hope.  Thinking of you and praying that things go well!

    I think they try to prepare you for the worst. My HCG at 15dpo was pretty good but my progesterone was low, we just couldn't win with this pregnancy. I would just stay positive and let it be in God's hands because there isn't anything that you did or can do to change things. I thought it was me or something I did or could do... but neither was possible.

    As far as it turning out okay, I know your feeling exactly. Who knows, it might have dipped but then increased. I have read those success stories too. Just keep your head up and stay positive, that's all you can do right now. I hated the waiting between b/w. Stay strong girl.

    Your progesterone is awful low, isn't it?  Don't they like to see that number higher?

    I've heard of cases where there's a twin that's lost so the hcg drops but then climbs again after that. . . I don't know.  I'm sorry.  Unfortunately, as with so many of us, only time's going to give you those answers.

    Welcome to the world, Baby Grr!
