I'm so sorry for your loss Bean xxxx

BustingOut · 30/07/2016 13:20

De lurking to wish you all the best. Dont give up hope my first pregnancy also ended in miscarriage. I got pregnant a few months later and had a happy and healthy pregnancy. Flowers

Nervybuyer2016 · 29/07/2016 16:14

Am genuinely shocked to hear this Bean. I am very sorry Flowers

The ttc after mc group here saved me during my mc etc, and I've made a wonderful group of friends via the thread who all went onto have rainbow babes at the same time as me.

Wishing you a smooth recovery, both physically and emotionally (as can be) and all the luck for future.

An update for you ladies.....no need to re test HCG levels on Monday as I started to miscarry last night and on going today. Am in a lot of pain and feeling sorry for myself as I did sneakily have a little bit of hope that he dr was wrong and this pregnancy was going to last.

Oh well......back to trying for me when I feel stronger. Thanks for all the support the last few weeks xxx

Hi sorry guys rushing to get ready and get into work. Yes the levels were 42 on the 15th and I was retested yesterday and levels are at 300 and something. If going my the 1st day of my last period which was 9th June it's 6 weeks. But technically i would have conceived 2 weeks later than that so only accurately 4 weeks pregnant. I just don't know what to think.

My dr is actually very supportive I think she just doesn't want to feed my false hope and for me to be devastated later on xx

Thank you all for your replies and support its so appreciated by me and lovely to read and get people's opinions xxx

What a horrible time you've had, I'm so sorry your GP has been so unsupportive. No advice here, just didn't want to read and run. Hope everything goes well for you OP Flowers

ScandiManny · 26/07/2016 10:31

I read it as Friday 22nd, but looking back it does seem as though it was Friday 15th. So there was 12 days between the most recent bloods OP?

LemonBreeland · 26/07/2016 10:30

Just come across this thread and have my fingers crossed for you. Your GP seems very pessimistic and I hope she is wrong. Good luck

Gardencentregroupie · 26/07/2016 10:18

I thought the test where the level was 48 was on Friday 15th, the Friday after the positive test?

ScandiManny · 26/07/2016 10:16

Agree with the above posters. Levels should double every 48 hours and yours have clearly done that since Friday.

I think your GP and the hospital are calculating from your LMP and assuming low levels but it's more than reasonable to assume that you ovulated late this cycle by the progression of those^ pg tests so with than in mind your levels are fine!

Gardencentregroupie · 26/07/2016 10:16

This is very stressful for you. All three of your hcg numbers are consistent with doubling every 72 hours, so again all is not lost, though I must say that if you're around 6 weeks 300something does seem very low :( here's hoping the week doesn't drag too badly and that you get a definitive answer soon Flowers

Doyouwantfrieswiththatshake · 26/07/2016 09:56

I don't think your GP knows what she is talking about.

4DC here and HCG tests with all of them. Those levels sound fine!

kirinm · 26/07/2016 09:50

So sorry you're going through this. I don't know if I've read this wrong but your levels were 42 on the 23rd and they're now 300 on the 25th? That's more than doubled! Is there anything else happening that is making your GP so adamant things are going wrong?

She is right about the scan though. I think they need levels at about 1500 from memory.

Thebean123 · 26/07/2016 08:55

Well the doctor has called me. And I honestly don't think that I can take much more of this!

I was promised a final answer one way or another and she can't give me one. My levels have risen to 300 something. Can't quite remember what number she said. But her point was that it wasn't high enough to scan but had risen. Apparently the hospital answered her question of "is this likely to be a viable pregnancy?" With "unlikely.....but not impossible".

So I have to wait ANOTHER week in heartbreaking and agonising hell without knowing wether I will 100% miscarry. I said to her "well maybe my body is just slower than most people" and her reply was "don't cling onto that hope too much though...." Her opinion is obviously still that this isn't going to end well and she doesn't want me to be too upset or devastated.

I did ask her wether she thought they would have risen or stayed around the 40 mark and she admitted that she thought they would have stayed around 40.

Sorry for the rambling post.....but again I pretty much am in the dark as to what's going on inside my own body. I just really really really needed to know what was going to happen. I kind of wish I was none the wiser to any of this. But I do know. And can't un know this now. It's going to be another VERY long and stressful week.

Sorry meant to add- best of luck for tomorrow's results, be nice to yourself this evening Flowersxx

billybigballs · 25/07/2016 19:53

Hi OP. Just wanted to say that your doctor sounds a little overzealous. From my experience and what I've seen on here most GPs and very much 'congratulations, book in with the midwife in 8 weeks or so'

I don't understand why she'd be messing you about with bloods etc so early on. Pregnancy such a natural and unpredictable process.. You sort of have to just trust your body in the early weeks and have a little faith. I worry that she's going to make you into a very anxious pregnant person and worse case scenario if you lose this pregnancy, undermine your confidence for next time!!
