Am I losing the baby?

Hello,

Slightly complicated explanation so bear with me.

I have 2 x DC 3.5yo and 5mo. I have only had three (what I believed to be) periods since 5mo was born. April, June and last one only on 23rd July.

These seemed normal periods to me until I realised I have symptoms and tested on Monday. Called doc and he did my bloods on Tuesday and confirmed my levels are 50. He said either equivalent to 3 weeks pregnant or, a non viable pregnancy as if a period only a week ago then, it would be very rare to have ovulated before then. Yet it was a normal 3 day (normal for me) heavy period. Bleeding through tampons in the night but my last two i did the same as post partum they have been heavier. I do have PCOS though so, I don't ovulate regularly.

I’m back tomorrow for more bloods to confirm if levels are dropping/increasing but, I have just woken up to some light pinkish red bleeding.

I didn't expect to get pregnant this early on or even at all to be honest but, my heart is now breaking to think it could be a miscarriage as in the past 2 days I've really got my hopes up. We lost a baby before DC1 and it did hurt then but, for some reason it hurts so much more when you already have children and know what could be.

Has anyone had a similar situation where it wasn't terrible news?

At 3w4d my hcg was 50, then 152, then 555. So it's possible everything is okay! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!
