False Hopes?

I never thought I was pregnant. I found it alarming how I kept thinking about being more careful. Nephew wanted to jump on me and my first thought would be, "No, if you're pregnant it could harm the baby". I was like wth if I'm not pregnant so I decided to test, I was 4 days late but I'd been spotting all month long which every blue moon I would but this time it was for a longer period so didn't think anything of it. All test come positive. I was up and running and when it came time to rest I didn't feel well I had this pressure sensation on my lower abdomen and much more brown spotting. I get up next morning and I'm bleeding, not much but red red blood, and I passed a blood clog. I usually do during period. Went to the ER my beta levels where 45 they did pelvic exam & she says my "uterus" is open and say MC. Go to another ER the next day beta levels rise to 55, bleeding much more less, they say early pregnancy, MC, or etopic to FU with my OB. I go to OB she checks me says cervix is close no fresh blood that I'll get an US in 4 wks. So I still don't know what is wrong. I can't be up on my feet for long bc the spotting starts again. I'm emotionally drained. Like I could have a baby inside me at the same time I could of lost it already or the etopic pregnancy is just growing. Has anybody had anything similar?

Re: False Hopes?

  • I haven't experienced anything similar, but I almost lost my mind at work when I started spotting. The only way to know for sure is if your blood levels plateau and then drop. Patients I've screened who experienced a miscarriage had very heavy bleeding (enough to soak a pad in an hour), large clots, and painful abdominal cramping. I've also seen someone misdiagnosed as having a miscarriage only to find out that it was implantation bleeding and she was "pregnant enough" to turn a positive test. I can't imagine how hard this must be. Please keep us updated as to how you are doing and what your doctor says. He or she is the pro and will do what's best for you and baby.

  • I'm so sorry you're going thru this scary time. Thoughts and prayers to you and I hope you get some answers soon.
  • Thinking of you xx not really too similar but last week I had some spotting for about 5 days- it was so scary, I also felt like every time I moved it got worse so took some time off work and tried to rest.

    The docs prepared me that it looked like a pregnancy that was failing due to the spotting. So I had my HCG count taken on mon 322 ultrasound tues which didn't show anything but a thickened lining and bloods again on weds said 786. So they think now that it might have just been an early pregnancy- my spotting has stopped (touch wood) and I'm back in on the 10th June for another scan.

    It seems like a very long time to keep you waiting, make sure you contact them if you have pain before then. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you xx
  • Sending T&P's. I had spotting with DS for about 5 weeks. It was so nerve racking because the dr could not tell me if the baby was going to be ok or not.

  • When you guys say "spotting" do you mean bright red? I heard some slight brown spotting on the toilet paper is perfectly normal.

  • I've had both. The first time was pink/ brown and after tests and sono, they said I was fine. The second time it was red.... A lot of blood, and a tiny bit clots. They said I had a tear in my uterus but everything else was fine. I have my first real appointment on Tuesday. I've been super nervous because of all of the bleeding.
