I don't know what to believe anymore..

Hi there -

I'm new at this...please forgive me if I am posting the wrong content for your board...but I would appreciate any input anyone could give. I was supposed to be 7 weeks today and was scheduled for my first Dr's visit next Wednesday. A few days ago I started feeling suspicious that I wasn't having the "typical" pregnancy symptoms that everyone was asking me about (all I had was hunger..and I know that every pg is different). I told myself I didn't want to find out there was no baby on a u/s.. So yesterday I took hpt's that came out (-).. called the Dr and the sent me for a beta. Meanwhile, I'm pretty convinced that this isn't going to turn out well. She called me last night to say that I was only at 6.5 (!) and she believed I had a miscarriage, despite lack of bleeding and cramping. When I called the nurse today to ask some questions, and needed to hear from her that this, in fact, was not viable - she basically told me that I should start bleeding soon, but if I don't have any bleeding by Feb 3 to take another hpt (?!) and went on to say that maybe I had a very very early pregnancy and miscarriage in Dec and now I'm on my 2nd pregnancy. I just don't see how that's possible. She also said to treat myself as if I am still pregnant until my body tells me otherwise..which is pretty crappy emotionally. I don't know why she'd give me false hope like that. My head knows that 6.5 is no good. But now my heart is clinging on to that small piece of hope..I know I'm just going to start the grieving process all over again when I start bleeding. I just wanted a straight answer..not possibilities. Now I'm wishing I would have just waited for the u/s so I'd have concrete answers.

Has anyone been through a similar experience?

I am sorry you're going through this. I had a missed miscarriage with absolutely no symptoms (found out at our first u/s). Is there any way you can request to come in for an u/s instead of waiting?

I am going through something very similiar right now. I was about 5 weeks though. I had a lot of pg symptoms. I got beta results today and they were 15....now I have to go back on Monday fore more b/w. I have some mild occasional cramping, but its no different from what I've felt for the past few weeks....i just don't know what to expect.

I'm sorry for what you two are going through. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. The heartache is unbearable.

The only real symptoms I would say I ever had were the hunger (every 2 hours wanting a huge meal) and then a very steady, very very mild crampy/tender/bloaty kind of feeling. Nothing like menstrual cramps though. The tenderness has stayed, but the hunger started subsiding earlier this week.

I just had my first spot of bleeding. We'll see what it amounts to. The nurse said if I'm just spotting to call them cause it could still be viable. But if its a true m/c then I would have heavier than normal menstrual bleeding. I guess its all just a waiting game.

Best wishes to you all...

I don't have any advice for you, as I had a missed m/c, but I was farther along. I'm sorry you're going through this.

Sorry you are going through this. Are you going back for another beta if you haven't started bleeding yet? I might request another beta to see what happens to your numbers. Like the nurse said, it sounds like either a recent loss or a new pregnancy, and I would hope that the next beta would give you some answers. I would not want to wait for Feb. 3.

I had a natural m/c in early Nov. and followed my numbers to zero by mid-November. My second to last beta was 6 and my last one was negative. I am currently having another natural m/c and doing the same thing.

I'm sorry your going through this as well.. I had a somewhat similar story.. I knew I was pregnant before I even took the test. Every morning I felt ever so slightly sick and that wasn't normal. I think I had every single symptom there was, sick, tired, constantly having to pee, hungry, huge boobs etc. Then one day everything stopped. I wasn't waking up sick anymore and I just knew that my first ultrasound wasn't going to be good. It was a gut feeling I had, that I read a lot of other women felt too before they had their u/s that showed miscarriage. Sadly I was right and ended up having to have a D&C at 10w4d. You really never know though, until you see it on u/s. Miracles happen every day, just in my case, I knew in my heart before I even found out.

Im so sorry you are in limbo.. {{hugs}} I had a similar situation with two of my losses. Limbo is the worst. They tried to give me hope that I was just still early in pg and it could turn out ok. It was the hardest couple weeks of my life not knowing whether I was just early pg or m/c. I wish I could say something to make it easier, but I cant... I will pray that the dr is right and you are just early pg.
