Hcg Levels
Posted: 08-13-07 10:49am

hi everyone
i am a newbee, and i have some worries about my pregnancy which i wonder if anyone can help with
i have been spotting and bleeding for about 2 weeks, i had an ultrasound which the midwife said didnt look right but was too early to tell.
i had one hcg test done on last wednesday afternoon, then another on friday morning, so not quite 48 hours, the first result was 4878, the second was 7923, so they didnt double, but they went up quite a lot.
im really confused, i dont know what to make of all this.
surely my number shouldnt go up that much if i am miscarrying
help!

That ultrasound was way too early to really see anything. I would wait about another week or so and go back for another ultrasound. By 8 weeks you woud for sure have a heartbeat able to be seen on the screen if the pregnancy is progressing. How bad was your bleeding and spotting?

i am still bleeding, but its only spotting now, sometimes red sometimes brown, if i strain to go to the bathroom more comes out.
this has been going on for about 3 weeks.
i have another u/s tommorow with a doctor, i am looking forward to finally knowing something.

So you will be 6 weeks at this ultrasound right? I hope everything goes well. Some women do bleed during pregnancy and that doesn't always mean bad things. Have you ever had any clots?

hi all
i went for my scan today, i could see the heart beat and everything looked great, thanks for praying for me, i guess the last nurse didnt know what to look for, she really scared me saying she couldnt see anything that looked like a healthy pregancy.

Congrats!!! I am so happy for you I know how that can feel. I had some spotting early on in my pregnancy and was told I had a "missed miscarriage" They sent me in for a scan to confirm the miscarriage and we saw a nice strong heartbeat!! Now I am just waiting for my 10 week appointment when we get to hear a heartbeat. I am still very nervous but I have good feelings about this. I am 7 weeks tomorrow and so far no more spotting!
