Possibly miscarried last week but HCG rising?!

Hello, so let me start from the beginning..

I got my first positive pregnancy test New Year’s Day 01/01/2019! So for a very happy week I was excited I was going to be having another baby!!

The following Monday so 07/01/2019 I noticed very pink weak blood when wiping after going for a wee.. so I called my midwife who booked me in on the Thursday for an early scan. I woke up on Tuesday last week so the 8th to heavier bleeding so decided to get myself to the hospital with my partner in tow.

I am told at the hospital that my HCG level is low and that my cervix was slightly open with blood so I was going to miscarry! Devastated, so that night after an hour of period feeling cramps I go in the shower and pass a large clot which I would say would have been the pregnancy tissue, again it broke my heart!

So then I’m booked in for a blood test Friday 11th to check my HCG levels had gone down as expected. To then get the results on Saturday that they had doubled, so I had more blood tests on the Sunday, and I have recieved a phone call today to say that they have doubled again and the nurse said on the phone “we think there is a pregnancy there, we just need to know where it is” .. so now I’m thinking there are only 2 options here and wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this and could tell me there outcome because I’m going out of my mind!!! 😔

  1. Ectopic pregnancy, although I have no symptoms of this atall as all of my bleeding and pain dissapeared the day after I was told I was misscarrying.
  1. Could I have been pregnant with twins and just miscarried 1? Which from all of my researching seems quite common and people carry on to have a healthy single pregnancy? I have a history of twins in my family and my partners.. his grandmother also miscarried his mums twin whilst pregnant with her?!

I’m praying for a miracle here although I’m not getting my hopes up! I just wondered if anyone has had similar experience!

Thankyou ladies in advance ❤️ X

Hi Elle, I was pregnant and had an early scan. It showed two sacks and only one had developed. I then had a large bleed and a clot and feared the worst. Baby was fine and it was the other sack passing plus a hematoma according to the sonographer. DD is now almost two. Good luck and I hope you get your happy ending xx

It’s possible it was a twin pregnancy. I really hope your ok. The hosp will check you thoroughly to be in the safe side. I’m presuming an internal scan at Early Pregnancy unit. Until then , take it easy. Drink plenty of water. X

I’m on the same boat here missed periods when had hcg levels checked witch was 3 on Friday then on Saturday I had 2 positive pregnancy test with first response then had light bleed on Saturday night on Sunday when to have like normal period untill Tuesday doc redone hcg on Tuesday hcg was 16 so doubled then I did clear blue test positive 1-2 weeks pregnant on Thursday had really bad bleed again so gp wouldn’t see me so I went a&e they did blood test levels of 34 so double again and then on Friday I had negative clear blue and still bleeding but only when I wipe really hoping I haven’t had miscarriage but looking that way but confusing why hcg is still rising

Hello sorry I haven't updated!

Bad news for me unfortunately, I went for a scan Wednesday 16th January and was told there was nothing there, so I had passed the baby already! HCG levels were still present so I was told to go home and that I would possibly pass any remnants left on my own and to do a pregnancy test 2 weeks later (which will be this Wednesday) and if it comes back positive still then I'll need to go back in for more blood tests, I started heavily bleeding last Monday which lasted until yesterday which had blood clots in.. so I'm gathering that it's all over now! So I will do another pregnancy test this Wednesday to see, but I'm assuming now it will be a negative!

I'm hoping this will be the case because it's been so mentally and emotionally draining I want it over so I can get myself ready to start again!

This is my experience but I believe that it is possible for a happy ending out of these situations and I pray for anyone reading this experiencing the same that you don't have the same outcome as me! Xxx

Sorry for your loss Ellalouise. I hope you can take some time and space to recover (physically and emotionally). I hope your next pregnancy has a happier ending.
