HCG slowly rising

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Hey ladies the nurse just called from my dr office saying my HCG drawn yesterday went up a few points to 152. Obviously this isn't a viable pg but my question is is it normal for it to continue to rise before it starts to drop? I asked the nurse why this would happen and she couldn't give me an answer. She just told me to go to the lab tomorrow for more blood work. I honestly cant stand going to the lab every 2 days anymore. The people at the lab know me by first name since I have been in every 2 days for the past 2 weeks.

    I'm sorry I'm not familiar with your story, but have you actually miscarried yet?  Or did you have a missed miscarriage? 

    If you've actually (sorry, TMI coming) miscarried (i.e. cramping, bleeding, clots, tissue), it could be that you've retained some tissue inside that's still keeping your hormones up.

    If you've had a missed miscarriage, (haven't actually miscarried yet) and were far along enough to grow a placenta, your body might actually keep producing HCG, thinking the pregnancy is still viable, even though it's not.

    So sorry for what you're going through.   Blood work sucks big time, but it's a sure indicator.  Hope you get the answers you need soon!

    Thanks for responding. I started bleeding on Tues so the process has started. The bleeding hasn't been as heavy as the last time I miscarried back in July. I just hope I dont need a D&C. I dont want to go through a surgical procedure.

    I am so sorry for your loss.  If it is any consolation, I had a d&c and it was not too long/hard/bad.  I mean losing my baby is the hardest part. The procedure itself, I was in and out fairly quickly.

     I'm so sorry.
