Pregnant after miscarriage in Feb! Anyone else?

[irishhope]

Hi I had 5m/c s The last one on the 21st Feb........Negative pregnancy on the day of m/c so levels had dropped straight away.......Got a BFP on Mon. never had a period..........Don't know how to date this pregnancy.........I always m/c at 5wks 2 days .....went to GP for blood tests my levels are 59.1 Does anyone know what this means i. e is this ok for an early pregnancy soooooooooooo scared!!!!!!!

Hi Irishhope, I am so sorry to hear about your previous m/c and I hope this time everything goes well for you.

I can't help you with the question of dating the pregnancy I'm afraid but with regard to your HCG level, that is low but it just means that it is very early into the pregnancy. It's not really the initial count that matters it's whether it doubles ever 48 hours Have you to go back to docs to get it checked again?

In my last pregnancy my initial hcg level was only 64 but that doubled every 48 hrs and rose to an acceptable level. unfortunately it did end in m/c but that was because of a chromosomal problem and nothing to do with low HCG level. Fingers crossed for you and let us know how you get on

Thanks Alibobster, yeah went back today for another test will know on Fri...Boy this is harder than I thought.....After having so many miscarriages u'd think I would be more prepared!!!!!!!!

Irish, it's a complete head f**k. I've had four m/c and am desperate to have another baby but I know as soon as I get a bfp my life will be in turmoil: every day drags by and is a constant worry. It is so difficult and even though you think you'd be prepared because it's happened before I think it actually gets harder. I'll be crossing my fingers and thinking of you tomorrow x

AWWW thanks .......... I never thought i would find comfort in a site....but i cant believe how much I hav come to need this site...Having people who understand is great.... No-one in my family can understand as they all have healthy pregnancies ( which I am glad off ) but fustration of talking to people who havent a clue is hard.. This is a complete torture waiting.......but thanks for ur support. How long is it since ur m/c and have they offered any solutions?

I'm glad I can be a bit of support Irish. You're right, no-one understands, they are upset for you at the time but then expect you to put it behind you and get on with your life.

I had my last m/c in December. Me and DH have had all the standard tests and nothing was found so in my last pg I was receiving HCG injections. These actually did seem to work because in the past I never made it past the 6 week mark but this time I got to 9 weeks, it was just an unfortunate coincidence that there was a chromosome problem, I think the injections were actually making a difference. I did see the consultant last month but he said there was nothing else he could try, just wait till I got pg again and we would try the injections again. It is a slow, infuriating, soul destroying process.

I'll be thinking of you today. Let me know how you get on, Alison x

Good luck for today!

I had a mmc in Jan and then got a bfp two weeks ago, followed by another mc last week. I desperately want a baby, but know I'm going to be freaking out as soon as I get a bfp.

I had another mc 8 years ago, but they won't do any testing until I've had 3 consecutive mc's.

Let us know how you get on, thinking of you x

Harrased I'm sorry to hear that, hope you're doing ok x

Hi Alison and Harrassed, Got my hcg levels went from 59.1 to 182 in 48 hrs, so was pleased but this morning I dont feel well and think pregnancy signs are fading..........just praying at this stage.........

Hi Harrased, so sorry for ur loss.. Its such a lonely place to be .....look after urself and take it easy....
