First Trimester of Pregnancy Question
Posted: 12-24-05 21:34pm

I am currently 5 weeks pg. I had my last miscarriage on Oct 19th, 05
My question is, I know it is supposed to be normal to feel period like cramps in the first tri of pg. But my cramps started yesterday. Yesterday they werent to bad but they did last all day long, then today they have gotten a little more painful but come and go. have them more then not. I have no spotting or anything. My last mc started just like this, I had a few days of cramping then I started to bleed and mc. I do have a lot of pg symptoms with this pg, nausea, sore breasts, hot flashes, liagment streching. Which I didnt have with the last one. I am on metaformin which I started 500mg yesterday, and prometrium 100mg started on Dec 20. On Dec 20 my beta level was 135 my progesterone was 17 1/2 and on the 23 the beta was 445 and my progesterone was 47 which the dr. said was a great start to this pg. With my symptoms does anyone think I am ok or do I need to go to the hospital and get checked? Can they even tell me anything? I think if I am going to miscarry it would be nice to know its coming, and if not going to miscarry it would be nice to relax. What is your advice

A plausible cause for your previous miscarriages could have been POCS-Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. PCOS might also cause miscarriage in this pregnancy but it can’t be known until it happens. Severe abdominal pain may suggest that miscarriage will happen, but we can never be sure. Laboratory analyses are an accurate account at the time they are adminstered but they are not predictable-they can change. Vaginal bleeding usually means miscarriage (although not necessarily). There are also miscarriages without bleeding, “missed miscarriage”. An ultrasound check and a hormonal analyses for hCG(beta) and progesterone can tell you more about your current status.
