Any stories of misdiagnosed miscarriages?? I need a little hope. (supposed to be 5wk2d)

So Monday at work I was told that I was getting a promotion, but I would have to go to the training the very next day. When I got home, I called my husband to let him know the good news since he is in the military and stationed 3 hours away. He called me back and I told him about my promotion. He has PTSD so one thing led to another and somehow we were now arguing about issues from way back in high school (we are now 23 and 24). I try to stick by my husband in his situation because I know he seriously has some issues after coming back from Afghanistan, but the stress is overwhelming sometimes and he can get very out of hand and cross lots of lines that no one should ever cross. He got so mad that he finally said that he didn't want me or the baby anymore. We stopped talking that night, even after he called me over 30 times back to back... I didn't answer. The next morning I woke up with the most overwhelming stressful feeling. I went to my training for my new job. Close to the end of the training, I started feeling like blood was gushing into my underwear... like it feels when I'm on my period. I went to the bathroom when the training was over and there was bright red blood everywhere. Luckily I had a pad in my purse. I put it on, rushed to my car and flew down the highway to the hospital. I get there and everyone is already treating me as if I had lost my baby. I was passing some clots and had some cramping. The nurse did a urine test that came back negative, but I had just gotten a strong positive the night before. They did a BETA blood test... they said my HCG levels were under 6. I was not offered an ultrasound or anything of that sort... but my cervix still feels completely closed to me... which is weird. I spent all day and all night crying my eyes out yesterday, with no support from my husband. I tried contacting him to let him know what was happening and got no response at all. But something in me still thinks I am pregnant and somehow I'm going to get the blessing of a lifetime and my HCG levels are going to go back up. Anyone else had a similar situation, please share.

In regards to the pregnancy, I think the reason why you didn't get an ultrasound is because you are so early. At 5 weeks, there's not much to see but a sac (which will freak people out more). The heartbeat and fetal pole can only be detected as early as 6 weeks.
I don't want to offer you false hope but perhaps you could schedule an appointment with your regular OB office to verify? They would know more than a hospital. Unfortunately, what you're describing sounds like a MC but I could be wrong.
Be strong and I hope everything will be okay!
I agree with PP about scheduling a follow up with an OB. They will test your blood over a 48 hour period to see if your levels are climbing, doubling is what they like to see. I hope that you get the news you want and wish you luck.
From what you've described it doesn't sound good. Your pregnancy is likely not viable, but all you can do is follow up with your OB.

I'm not saying you are doing this or aim to-- but that's where the "bashing" can stem from. Hang in there. This community, over all, is very supportive.

Please hang in there, I can tell you that even in the event of the worst possible scenario, you will in time recover and this community will support you. Best of luck.
2) an US at 5 weeks will be a waste of time, energy and money. There is nothing to see.
3) no one can tell you if you are just bleeding or having a miscarriage. I really wish we could. Your beta is not promising though, but one number really does not mean much.
4) I am sorry that you are dealing with this state of limbo. Hugs, and good luck.
I just recommend taking care of yourself and seeing where the next few weeks takes you. You are/were too early at 5 weeks to see anything in an ultrasound.
Good luck to you....
I am sorry you are going through this.
It sounds very much what my losses were like (negative urine test, low HCG on the blood test and bleeding) I was offered an ultrasound but unless the HCG is over 2000 you aren't likely able to see anything.
I have suffered with an ectopic pregnancy and a missed miscarriage.
After ectopic, I got another BFP in September 2015. Everything was going well because of my history I was sent to EPAU. I first attended and was told the sac was empty hcg level come back which appeared normal. They told me to come back in 48 hour for more blood and another scan. I did, this time my hcg level dropped I was told I was more than likely having a miscarriage, I was told to come back again in another 48 hours. All this waiting around not knowing what was going on was killing me. I attended again for more bloods my hcg level had gone back up! I had an early scan which dated 5 weeks 2 days a heartbeat was present! I burst into tears, tears of joy of course. The consultant informed me my pregnancy was viable and maybe I was going to be one of them who dont follow the book.
One week later I started bleeding, clots. I attended EPAU again. The heartbeat was no longer present. I had a missed miscarriage and opted for the procedure to have my baby removed.
I have now got another BFP! EDD: 13th September.
I hope and pray this is my sticky bean.
Good luck to you x
