New loss

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Hi there, I'm very new to this community, mostly a lurker. But we believe I've experienced a miscarriage at what would've been 6 weeks from my LMP.  The cramping has been the worst, the bleeding hasn't been quite as bad. My HCG level never really went up far. I went from 128 on July 22 to 178 on the 30th and yesterday it was at 186.  How is it the HCG level went up a little even though I've really no doubt I've lost this pregnancy.  My doctor isn't in until Friday unfortunately.

I'm just a bundle of emotions and I'm not really sure how to feel. As I was making my peace with impending motherhood, it seemed to swing the other way. I want the closure of being able to say I lost it, I really don't like waiting :/

    @cfitzner I am new to this board as well. I just recently starting posting in the TTCAL board, and have found that the women are a wonderful support group with a wealth of knowledge. I hope you get answers very soon.

    I am so sorry. Waiting and the testing is the worst...besides the rollercoaster of emotions. I think one of the best pieces of advice I received was let the emotions happen. If you need to cry, cry. Don't be afraid to be emotional. This board and TTAL is super helpful. Hugs to you

    I miscarried between week 6 and 7, my hcg went up to about 1100, and it did keep going up (though not the appropriate amount) before it went down. 

    It was a tough week getting blood drawn, waiting for hcg results and not having answers. 

    I am sorry for your loss. mine was very physically painful. I miscarried at home. 

    Be gentle with yourself right now and really try to take as good care of yourself as you can.

    Thank you everyone. I guess I'm just very impatient, it's my way of dealing (i.e. this has happened, now I grieve and move into the next phase) and it's becoming obvious this situation isn't conducive to my method.

    I've only had the one hcg test this week so far, but I anticipate further ones once my doctor is in touch. I've really no doubt, my cramping started on Monday and continued for pretty much two days. The blood has never been heavy but there have been a lot of clots and I still get tenderness and pangs in the lower abdomen. I barely felt pregnant in the first place and I definitely don't now.

    It's hard to be gentle with oneself when it's not ones way.

    I finally heard from my doctor this morning. She's trying to get me in for an ultrasound as soon as she can. Though I'm not sure what if anything can be gleaned from it, since it's so early, I think she wants to rule out an ectopic pregnancy (though my hcg levels don't suggest it).

    Thank you everyone. I've been reading through the board and finding a bit of comfort that I am not alone.

    Hoping you get answers soon... hopefully a good answer!  If not, there is a lot of support here.  I'm sorry you have to go through the whole waiting game though.

    Thank you <3 I had the ultrasound and another blood test on Friday but I can't get in to the doctor until tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to having a better idea of what's gone on.

    It looks like the end is in sight, my hcg level dropped from 266 on Friday to 34 today. It's bittersweet but in a way a relief that my body will go back to normal soon.

    Hugs to you. It took me about 5 weeks from loss date to get my period. I hope this time passes quickly for you and you can move forward with healing!
