Miscarriage something feels off

Has anyone been through something similar? First day of last period was 25/11/2025. Intimate in that cycle on 9th and 11th December. Days leading up to Christmas started testing and all came back completely negative. Period was due 22nd December, always been like clock work to the day when due on. Tests still came back negative. Christmas Day I started bleeding presuming it was my period which was just late, looked and felt like a normal period although the ‘heaviness’ of it which I normally have only lasted about 3 days and then just very minimal brown discharge for about 2-3 days after that. Saturday 3rd Jan something in me told me to take a test which came back positive. Have multiple positive tests. I rang 111 straight away and my assumption was that the bleeding on 25th was a miscarriage. Attended EPU on Sunday where they took bloods and internal scan from scan they concluded PUL until bloods came back. They did the next day at HCG of 83 which they think is low and believe I have miscarriage. They want me to wait a week before going back for another round of bloods which they think will come back at zero HCG. Don’t know if I’m in complete denial or what but something in my gut is telling me they are wrong. Pregnancy tests are getting darker and pregnancy symptoms are getting more intense 2 weeks after the actual ‘miscarriage’. I’m not necessarily thinking that it might still be a viable pregnancy but maybe eptopic? Something in my gut is telling me the are wrong. Maybe I ovulated late so not as far along as they think I know that due to intimate days mentioned above it wouldn’t be way off but still. Anyone had a similar experience or had HCG levels of 83 at 4.5-6 weeks pregnant and had a viable pregnant? TIA X

Thank you! Yes I will keep updated back at hospital Sunday for bloods again, still testing positive and they aren’t getting lighter but only slightly getting darker x

It’s likely at the time of the scan you were too early in pregnancy for anything to be visible. The timing of your bleed also sounds like it could possibly have been implantation bleeding.

The fact that your test lines are progressing well is a good sign, but the only way to truly get any further indication is to wait on the next set of bloods and scan. Hopefully this will show your numbers rising and hopefully the scan can locate the pregnancy now that your are further along.

FWIW I have lost a pregnancy without any bleeding and I have also carried a pregnancy to term with lots of bleeding. Bleeding whilst it can be a symptom of miscarriage is not a reliable method of determining if it is in fact a miscarriage.

Wishing you all the best for bloods on Sunday x

Update - bloods came back at 99 so they think it’s eptopic. Got to go back Tuesday to be scanned again more bloods and see a doctors 💔

Thankfully they don’t think think it’s ectopic, they think a failing pregnancy with a slight fluctuation with the HCG, was scanned again and still nothing to be seen anywhere but still testing positive and some symptoms still there, going back next Tuesday again for bloods where they definitely think the HCG will have dropped. Have had very very slight brown spotting on and off today and last night and boobs are absolutely killing me, abdomen feels ‘periody’. Hormones are all over the place. Just want everything to go back to normal now so I can really process it all and try and move on and pray for a successful pregnancy sometime in the near future 😢💔
