Hello, sooo in super frustrated!!!!
I posted on here a few weeks ago asking about a pregnancy test and faint lines.. Well I came to a result that I was pregnant because I did many tests that had the one line and then another faint one. A day or so after I had some bleeding and decided to go to the hospital to get checked out. I did a urine test, had a pelvic exam and they took my blood. The doctor who I spoke to told me that the urine test was negative and told me I had a miscarriage. He also said I would most likely have to go in for a DC as well if I didnt start bleeding. Having a miscarriage is obviously hard no matter if your early in pregnancy or not.. So I have obviously cried about it. I called my gyno and booked an appointment to see her in January because I haven't started to bleed.
TODAY.. Literally about an hour ago I received a phone call from my family doctor saying she received interesting lab results from the blood work I had done. Apparently I AM pregnant... And my hcg level is at 55. My last period was November 11th. I guess since the doctor didnt look to much into it assumed I had a miscarriage. I'm SOOO confused, upset, and shocked about this. Most upsetting part is that I have been drinking and smoking since I went to the hospital.. Man oh man..
Just wanted to vent a little bit..

Re: Always get a second opinion!
I have a few questions.
when did you first get a bfp?
when was the blood drawn that gave u a level of 55?
Ditto. 55 is really low. Do you have any idea how far along you were when you went to the ER?
Blood test was at the hospital 23rd.
What did your actual DR advise? A beta of 55 at 6+ wks pregnant is pretty low.
Im assuming December.
my concern is 55 is very low.
If I were you I would go in for blood work this week to make sure its going up.
It could be you m/c and your HCG is dropping.
wishing you luck!
You are either not as far along as you think (maybe 3-4 weeks with that number?) or its not a viable pregnancy.
If ur still preg. I would assume u Od late. you mentioned u had bleeding, how much? was it like a period? when was it exactly? maybe this is a second pregnancy.
yah it sucks for sure! it could go either way. it could be a m/c, a viable pregnancy, or a second pregnancy. you need to get some blood drawn and see what happens to the numbers.
gl!
FWIW, the ER will always diagnose you with a threatened miscarriage and send you home. The first beta draw doesn't mean as much as whether or not it doubles in an appropriate time frame. I would put what the ER doc said out of your mind and wait to see what your OB says. Your OB knows much better than an ER doc what is/could be going on.
Good luck!
