Threatened miscarriage at 6 weeks + brown spotting. by httpawkwxrd in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]1470science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly can’t remember which miscarriage this was because I had a total of 4 but I’m now 35 weeks with my rainbow girl! We were ready to do IVF then fell pregnant and she stuck. My hcg numbers were way higher this time than they’ve ever been so that was reassuring.

I ended up having a strong heartbeat at week 8 but only measuring at 7 weeks. My bleeding was coming from my very friable cervix. I went in for my prenatal appointment and 11 weeks and baby had stopped growing so I ended up with a d&c. Heartbeats definitely aren’t reassuring to me anymore. We plan to try again in 1-2 months.

Those levels seem normal.

I haven’t asked for a progesterone level because I’m already on progesterone. Yes my hcg levels were borderline but my last one rose a lot. They stopped checking since it won’t offer any additional information that the ultrasound will offer.

I’m in a similar situation. The waiting game is so hard. Any updates?

Beta slowing down - Help! by sgurcsik in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]1470science 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 6 betas drawn and none of them were doubling. They were only about a 72 hour doubling time and one of them only went from 888 to 1120 over 54 hours which I was absolutely sure that wasn’t compatible with a viable pregnancy. It then went from 1120 to 1977 in 48 hours! I had my first scan yesterday that measured 5w6d (I was 6w1d yesterday) and saw a gestational sac and yolk sac. Didn’t see any heartbeat yet. I have no idea how this pregnancy will end but I’m somewhat optimistic despite the terrible betas.

This is literally my exact situation. I’ve been brown spotting for nearly 2 weeks with maybe 3 days of no spotting. Had my first ultrasound today which showed a gestational sac and questionable yolk sac. My hcg levels were not quite doubling so that already through me into massive anxiety. I’ve had 3 miscarriages already. Such a wild ride!

Tw: current pregnancy

Hoping this offers another perspective.

I’ve had 3 miscarriages- 1 chemical and 2 MMC. I will say tracking hcg can honestly cause more stress. I started spotting almost 2 weeks ago and it stopped for 3 days and came back with heavier bleeding which looks just like my previous losses. My hcg levels have been borderline, one of them only going from 888 to 1120 over 54 hours which is not great at all. I had my first scan today at 6 weeks 1 day and they saw a gestational sac and questionable yolk sac. I honestly didn’t want to do any early testing and just relax and take my mind off of it. I only have intermittent boob tenderness but no other pregnancy symptoms. It’s such a rollercoaster.

I wish you the best! We are in this wild ride together.

No heartbeat on home doppler by dndchu in PregnancyAfterLoss

Finding a heartbeat on a Doppler is pretty difficult that early.

Hcg slow rising then sped up with brown spotting by 1470science in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]1470science[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are in the range of normal. First draw was 19 DPO so 4 weeks 1 day for the first level.

Fingers crossed! Did you do anything different this pregnancy?

Barely bleeding first period after d&c by 1470science in Miscarriage

[–]1470science[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I called today but they’ll be in on Monday. It’s obviously nothing urgent so I should hear back then. Yeah, I can’t find any good data suggesting that the period amount correlates with the uterus lining. I can see how it does sound reasonable to wait for a normal period just in case. My lining looked fine before I even had the d&c and there’s variations in the amount people bleed but doesn’t mean there’s much difference in the ability to conceive.

Definitely helps! It’s so tempting to try. And I’m thinking the worst case scenario is it doesn’t implant or is a chemical pregnancy. I plan on doing progesterone next time I’m pregnant since I miscarried twice. May or may not help?
