I am 10 weeks and 6 days pregnant, at 10
weeks and 3 days after having intercourse
I started bleeding frank red blood,.
Approximately enough to soak 1 sanitary
pad. We went to ER, where there was a
normal u/s and heartbeat. They did some
blood work, including a serum HCG. which
was 99,000. At no point did I have any
pain.
The next day I saw an OB who sent me for
serum hcg X 2 48hrs apart. I had another
u/s that day and everything was normal,
received an excellent report stating it
was a viable fetus, baby was fine,
heartrate was 172. The only thing negative
was that my placenta was a little low.
The second HCG result was 95,000 and then
the third one was 87, 000. I have a fetal
doppler here and the baby's heartrate is
still strong and above 150.
My question is that I have read that HCG
can drop near the end of the 1st trimester
and then level off eventually. Is this
true? HOw much would the drops be?
Does it sound like I may be miscarrying?
Would my HCG numbers have greater drops if
I was?
The only pain I have is lower back pain,
probably from all the bed rest and mild
pain or more of an aching above my hips.

i dont think you are misscarying
are you cramping at all?
dont stress out ok? im sure you will be
just fine
sometimes intercourse early in pregnancy
can irritate the cervix causing bleeding
i had spotting but nothing too severe
iif they did a u/s and herd the heart beat
and everything was ok then id not worry
too much :]
