Advice please. M/c 4 wks ago but pg hormone still high

[kjq]

Hi

I M/c'd about 4 weeks ago. Had a scan and all and everything seemed to have passed, but 4 weeks on I'm still required to go to the hospital each week for my preg hormone levels to be checked. Is this right?

At todays appt the m/w thought that today might be the last time, but has just called to say i need to go again next week.

My mum is now worrying me saying that something must be wrong.

Has anyone else experienced this or is there a m/w out there that can explain this to me?

Hi Mia
I am back at work, after my scan. It confirmed my fears, that I had miscarried
I have an preliminary appointment at my local hospital tomoorow morning to discuss when I will have a d&c.
I wish you all the best

Hi all, Oblomov, how did your scan go? So, an update on my saga well, I had to wait a week since my last blood test was taken which came back at 121 last Monday (5th nov) before having another which I had yesterday (12th nov) and it came back at 623 now although this has gone up its has not doubled or increased by 66% over the week so caused concern I went in for a scan today and again nothing showed up - docs are slightly baffled as cannot confirm if I have a failed preg in the womb or ectopic until either the scan shows this or levels drop (which im having no luck with at the mo) doc said there is a small chance although unlikely I may be very early in preg and have low hormone levels. (Think she is trying to make me feel better tho?) Anyway I have to wait another week now and go back next Monday (19th nov) for more blood if this rises again I will have to have another scan the next day and if no more comes from that I am going to have to have a camera into my stomach/womb under gen anaesthetic to see more! It?s so annoying when I accept I have had a failed pregnancy and still cant get back to 'normal' until I know exactly what has happened. Anyway thought I would ask if anyone has experienced this or no someone who has as no one I know does! As sad as it is I hope my levels start to drop now as I hand on heart cant see a viable peg coming off it so would like to move on from this. (As sad as I am that this happened) will let you no more next week girls. x

Oh Oblomov im so sorry I have only just saw your message when i posted mine (didnt see second page) i really am sorry to hear that it looks as though i am heading that way in all honesty i am trying to be abit stronger than i was last week and look forward. (it doesn't stop me hurting though)Are you ready to be back in work? i hope you have friends and family around to support you. sending lots of love. xx

hi, just been reading your messages trying to recognise my situation somewhere. Firstly I'm sorry everyone's having a bad time I only started on these sites at the weekend and don't think Ive been off it since! Anyway I had a missed miscarriage four months ago fairly late on. I had to give birth to him and then a few weeks later I had to go back for a d&c (they're not as bad as youd expect). I fell pregnant two months later and started bleeding with cramps and clots last week I thought I was just nine weeks. I got a scan yesterday and the pregnancy isnt there it must have been a missed miscarriage at around 3/4 weeks however they wont d&c me again yet as something is showing on the scan that could be a new pregnancy! Help! Im so confused they have to scan again in 10 days

hey Mia, how are you doing? I have my d&c arranged for friday, so atleast I have some 'closure' coming.
How are you doing ? I am very sorry I am obviously unable to offer you any advice, but I can atleast offer you some love and support. Where is everyone ? There must be other mumsnetters who have been through this, who could offer you advice ?
The 'waiting' is terribel , isn't it. 'Not knowing' is just unbearable. And you have to wait til mon 19th now ? My sympathy.
Just to let you know thatI am thinking of you. Big hug (I give great, bear hugs)

Hello everyone, this is my first time on here, and a little nervous...

I found out I was pregnant two weeks ago, thought I was around 6 weeks, then after a week I started bleeding. I went straight in for a scan, but nothing showed up. I have had three blood tests now, and been bleeding for a weekI was told I as only around 3 weeks, last week.

The hospital told me on Fri that it is highly likely I am m/c but after another blood test on Monday my levels are still rising. I have now got to go for another scan tomorrow.

I'm so confused and upset. One minute I'm trying to deal with m/c, and the heartbreak then the next it I'm wondering whether there is still a chance.

I'm working full time, and not really with it, as I guess people are staring to see...feel guilty about taking time off though...just wish it was all over!
