On Tuesday, I took a pregnancy test at work (yeahhh..I was impatient) and it was positive. Since I was feeling a bit crampy (specifically on my left side) I was nervous and I made an appointment with my doctor the next day since I have history of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. A couple of hours later, I decided to go to the hospital because it was getting a bit more noticeable. Long story short, I started to bleed, I expelled a clot and they said that I miscarried. They even went so far to tell me that the baby was no longer in the sac. I went today to follow up with my regular Dr and he tells me that the baby is still in the sack. He gave me progesterone, took my blood and told me to go back in 2 days. Now, I am confused as hell. Is this why they didn't do a d&c?? Any thoughts?
So your regular doc is saying you did not miscarry? Which is what I assume since he gave you progesterone....he wouldn't do that if you miscarried. When you say you went to the hospital, do you mean the ER. Because the ER is NOT good with pregnant people. They are used to cuts, bleeding, broken bones....I've heard tons of stories where the ER was very insensitive with pregnant women, saying they were miscarrying or saying they had a threatened miscarriage when everything turned out to be fine.
Since they cannot do anythng for you anyway, the only time I would recommend going to the ER in early pregnancy is if you are bleeding a LOT, like a crazy abnormal amount, or if you are in severe, severe pain. I would call your doctor back and get some answers, I'm sorry you're going through this.

@ anglesnight Yes, I went to the ER and I bled and it is one clot that came out. After that, it pretty much slowed down. They refused to do the d&c because they said I should let it be done naturally. I am impatient but have no other choice but to wait. If my hcg rose, that means it is still viable. If it remained stagnant or dropped, then I am miscarrying. i will find out tomorrow. I just want to understand this.
Well, went to the doctor yesterday and my hcg has gone up in 1 day from
6580 to 7779...I am a bit concerned because I know it should double
within 2-3 days. It was only one day. So, cant really tell if it's
good or bad. Also, we saw a heartbeat but it was low. She said I
measured at 5 weeks
and baby has a heart rate of 103. I am technically supposed to be
Salomo 7 weeks. Perhaps I Ovulated late. Even though the news is better
than I thought, I am still worried. I have slight cramping still. I just
hope all works out...I have to admit though, this is some kind of
miracle.
