Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Is this normal?

Hello everyone. I'm so sorry for all of your losses.
I'm in need of some advice. I miscarried at 4w6d. I have been bleeding for 21 days now. Day 1 of my miscarriage my hCG was 51. A week later I suspected my levels were going up, not down, so doc agreed to another two blood draws. I was right. Day 13 my hCG was 219, then it started going back down and day 15 it was 192. Here I am another week later, on day 21 and I am still bleeding bright red! It's not heavy enough to scare me, but it's enough that I soak through a panty liner every hour or two (I know, silly me for still wearing panty liners, but I'm out of pads). 
The suspected my levels were rising because my hCG strips were getting darker instead of lighter. Now today they're darker again. Should I call my doc or continue waiting?

  • I haven't had the experience that you're having, but my thought is to just go ahead and call.  That's what they get paid for, right?  I hope everything gets figured out soon!

  • I would call the dr. That could indicate a different type of miscarriage and may need to be looked into further. Such as a molar pregnancy or ectopic. I'm so sorry for your loss and the never ending physical pain of it.
  • Thanks guys. I think you're right. I'll call tomorrow.
  • Did anyone confirm a miscarriage?  
  • Yes. The day that my miscarriage started my doc did an ultrasound which showed a thin uterine lining. And my progesterone was only 0.8. =\
  • I am sorry for this roller coaster you're on. You'll be in my thoughts. I hope you can find peace in the midst of all this. Let us know how you're doing.

    Thank you. That's very kind of you to say. My hCG was down to 82 as of Wednesday, so I'm hoping for maybe only another week of this.
