Miscarriage ?'s

edited July 2015 in March 2016 Moms
I think a may be a bit of a state of denial and have so many questions. We found out we were expecting and based on my last menstral cycle I was about 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. I'd already gotten a positive blood test from the doc and four days later while out of town visiting family I began to cramp and bleed. I went to the emergency room and they did a vaginal ultra sound and said they didn't see anything and my hcg level was at a 3. I'm not sure what is was at when they initially did my blood test. I know that you can bleed some times in early pregnancy but here I am 4 days later and the bleeding has gone from period like to light spotting. My ob will be taking blood Thursday to check if my hcg level has gone to prepregnacy levels. This has completely devasted my husband and I because we've been trying for a good bit of time and we loved the baby before we even conceived. I don't know if I'm just irrational or if it's still possible that the ER doctor was wrong. I know that in very early pregnancy sometimes it won't show on an ultra sound. Has anyone experienced this and the doc was wrong. I'm having such a hard time excepting this and I feel as though I'm crazy for hurting so much over this because I was only 4 weeks pregnant. I apologize for the rambling but I'd really appreciate any insight anyone has.

    Sorry to hear you are going through this. Waiting til Thursday will not be easy. I'd probably buy a home test if I were you to see what it says in the meantime, but it might still show positive if there is any hcg and get your hopes up.

    At only 4 weeks it's possible the baby is just too small to see. I don't know much about the HCG levels but from my little knowledge from when I had a mc. It could be you ovulated later than you thought, but only 3 is very low(again only from my experience). I really hope you are just earlier than you thought. My husband and I were ttc when we got pregnant with the one we ended up miscarrying. I was devastated but my husband said something to me that didn't help immediately but did a few days later. He said "if there is something wrong with the baby's development that could've made him/her suffer through life, God stepped in." Try to relax but don't get too hopeful. I hope you are just not as far along as you thought. I hope that doesn't sound harsh, I don't know any other way to say it. Hugs and Prayers

    ^^this.

    If your levels were that low I'd do the hpt at home. I wish it didn't sound as bad as it does, but unfortunately it does sound like a mc. So very sorry!

    Sorry to say but most docs will tell you
    Anything less than 5 is considered not pregnant. You may have had a chemical pregnancy. When a woman finds out she is pregnant even for one day, a loss can be devastating. I hope Thurs brings good news for you....

    I'm sorry you are going through this. A low HCG usually means you are probably miscarrying. I have had this experience and it is truly heartbreaking. If this is the case definitely find a support group but I hope that you get good news on Thursday.

    This happened to me at Easter. At 4 weeks my hcg went from 92,81,26,3 within a week. I had a chemical pregnancy. That what it sounds like you are going through. I'm so very sorry!! T & P! Hope it turns around!

    Experiencing pain at the loss of a baby, or even the hope of a baby, no matter how early, is perfectly normal. I'm sorry for your loss. 

    It sounds like you may be experiencing a chemical pregnancy (loss of the pregnancy before 5 weeks). The only silver lining is that compared to later MCs, you won't need any kind of surgical intervention and can usually start trying again right away (after discussing with your doctor, obviously). 

    Many women conceive again quite quickly after experiencing early loss. Peace to you and your H.
