Pregnant after a Loss

Hope

Hello everyone. I woke up on Saturday with the worst cramping. ***TMI*** Went to the bathroom and there was brownish blood. I woke my husband up and went to the ER. They told me they couldn't see a gestational sac and my hcg level was 4200. It was 5000 that previous Monday. So I went home prepared to miscarry. I was cramping and had some lower abdominal pain/pressure for the rest of the day and Sunday but no bleeding. I went to my doctor this morning and he says he sees a gestational sac. I had my blood drawn for my HCG test and I guess I'll know definitively what's going on later this afternoon. That coupled with the fact that all symptoms of pregnancy I had are gone makes me feel like I'm out. I've had 2 previous miscarriages but nothing like this.  The previous ones took the same path. HCG levels were slow to rise, progesterone was low and/or lowering. This felt different so I was very hopeful.

  • Heard from the doctor's office. I've had 4 HCG tests all within days and they have gone up, then down, then up and now down again. My progesterone is 27. I stopped taking it after the ER doctor told me I was going to lose the baby on Saturday. I started taking it again on Monday. Something told me to get back on it. 

    I'm at a loss. I go to my next ultrasound on Monday. I guess I'll know what's going on then. Maybe. Anyone experience anything like this?

  • I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've never heard of hcg going up and down like that. I hope your u/s on Monday clears up the uncertainty. Good luck!

    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

  • Thanks! I'm taking the week off so I can rest. My pregnancy symtoms are back. They kind of weaned off for a new days but now they are back. Mostly breast tenderness, vivid dreams and queasy stomach feeling I get right before I get out of bed.
