HCG levels low and baby measuring small!!! Posted: 06-12-08 20:28pm
On the 23 of May I went to my doc to
confirm I was Preg.Based on my LMP i
should have been 6 weeks than..
Now come last Friday (june 6) should be
around 8 weeks +2. I go to the hospital bc
I am experiencing red bleeding ( i have
been spotting brown off and on the whole
time )... so anyways I go to the hospital
and they get blood work and internal
ultrasound. When the doctor returns with
the results he tells my that the baby is
only measuring at 6 weeks and is a little
small and my hcg levels are low, but there
is a Fetal Heartbeat. The bleeding he says
is only from implantaion.
I went to the doc yesterday to follow up
and get more blood taken and when she was
going through my last blood work she
noticed that my levels are not doubling at
all. They are rising, but slowly.
I am waiting for my results now and am
terrified that I am going to loose this
baby. This is mine and my bf first baby
and we are so excited, but scared that I
am going to loose it. I am just looking
for some support and any advice.
Thank you everyone in advance!! Sorry if
this is a little long...

I'm not a doctor but it doesn't sound good
hun I really think you
should try to prepare yourself for the
fact that you might lose your little
bean.
That said, don't give up hope - maybe some
other ladies will come along and tell
stories similar to yours that had a happy
ending.
I'll be thinking and hoping for you, I
know how hard it is.

So i got my results back. My beta went
from 12019 last Friday to 22966 Today!!
So it did not double in 5 days, but it is
slowly raising. So i am hoping that it is
a good thing.

There is a point at which the levels will
no longer double. I think you are probably
at that point. As long as they are rising
things should be okay. Please keep us
updated.

Please do not rely on the sonograms or
blood work. Don't worry about the unknown
just yet. Yes, it could happen, but for
now, stay positive! You are still very
early, and at this point the baby may take
off and triple in size. Again, don't
worry about the unknown, not saying to be
in denial, you know there is a risk. If
not, I believe all things are meant to
be. How old are you?

Lost Baby Posted: 07-16-08 21:13pm
I thought I would update everyone.
I ended up in the hospital on Thursday
(june 10) with major pains ( I was in
tears they were so bad) . I soon started
bleeding badly. They gave me pain meds,
and meds to slow the bleeding. they ended
up checking my hcg levels (which were
lower ) and everything like that. They
decided that i needed to have a D&C or
I would just keep bleeding. So I was stuck
at the hospital all day bc they refused to
let me out without a D&C. In short I
lost my baby.
I am having a really hard time with this
and cry whenever I see ppl with babies and
get teary eyed when i see preg ppl My bf
understands, but it is hard on him bc I
get emotional really easy right now. Any
advice how I can cheer up some and feel
better. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. I know
it is heartbreaking. There are no words
to make you feel better. Time will help
heal your wounds. For some reason this
baby was not healthy and not meant to be,
I am so so sorry!
I really think you
should try to prepare yourself for the
fact that you might lose your little
bean.
