HCG levels and bleeding - any advice please

[Diorissimo1985]

I am preparing myself that this pregnancy isn’t going to work out. It is so sad, I’m really struggling.

I was (I think) 4+3 on Monday when I had back pain and pelvic pain, along with bright red bleeding. I had 3 very faint bfps at home the week before and when I went to the GP (he wanted to check for ectopic) the pregnancy test at the surgery was negative. Had a blood test yesterday and GP called me to say HCG was 75, which he didn’t think was that optimistic. Booked back in for another blood test to see if it’s going up/down on Thursday, should have result Friday morning. I still have very sore lower back but have had no more bleeding since Monday afternoon.

None of this sounds positive to me - I am so anxious not knowing either way. Google tells me HCG can vary a lot but 75 does seem very low and I’m struggling to get past this.

Any advice or thoughts?

It’s covid related ... I left in a urine sample to my gp this morning and they rang me back diagnosing me with a miscarriage saying my test was negative and blood present. When I told her I was still getting positives on clear blue at home today she then said her test showed a faint positive but she classes that as a neg... so I’m more confused than ever

How are you feeling @2020wish ? Hope you’re okay

@Diorissimo1985 just very unsupported I think by the very nhs that I work for myself. All cramps and discomfort completely gone, don’t feel pregnant any more either. Will have to confirm myself when a private scan. How r u x

I’m so sorry. It shouldn’t be like this, I’m so sorry for you.
I’m a bit up and down, resting today and feeling sad. Bleeding still ongoing

So sorry it’s happening to you too. Was this your first?

No I have a DD already, she’s nearly 2.5. How about you?

Hope you can get some rest today

Firstly I’m sorry to hear of your losses. It’s so crappy and cruel that so many have to go through such heartbreak. Secondly, apologies for the long post but I feel so lost and don’t know where to turn. I have had 4MCs in just over a year (no children, aged 35, partner 45), all ended up as pregnancies of unknown location (never even seen a sac), all low hcg when checked and all “dealt with” naturally by week 5-6. Normally starts with bleeding followed by cramps. Pretty sure I’m now going through Miscarriage no.5. now. I had period like pains and back ache since positive test (2wks post ovulation) which lasted around 4 days but this time I’ve not bled. EPU called me in for a scan (to check for ectopic I expect from my pains), knowing they wouldn’t probably see anything given only 4.5weeks, and hcg came back low @254. Been asked to go back on Monday for another scan and blood test (will be entering week 6). I have no symptoms at the moment and having been prescribed progesterone pessaries I’m wondering if I haven’t bled because those are retaining the lining. I’m also on steroids having been tested for Increased NK cells and blood thinners (baby aspirin and clexane) having been tested positive for MTHFR gene mutation (common version). I’m exhausted (lack of sleep and emotionally I don’t know how much more I can take). I get pregnant every time we try - something just doesn’t add up. I’ve seen lots of positive stories where things have turned around for people but I just can’t help but think it won’t be the case for me. Not sure what I’m doing here but just felt the need to say something. It’s such a lonely place even if my partner is being amazing. I keep convincing myself it’ll be ok then next minute, convincing myself otherwise to help manage my expectations. Really hope everyone here goes on to have beautiful healthy babies xxx

@Lindyloolou oh no that’s awful :( I’m so sorry to hear all this. I don’t have much advice but I didn’t want to read and run. Try and busy urself until Monday, you never know this little one might surprise u. I know easier said than done :(

After what MC did they prescribe you the pessaries? I’ve enquired about them to my doctors but she hasn’t heard about them and is going to do some asking around for me. Are you uk ?

Keep us updated on how Monday goes x

Thanks so much for your reply. Means a lot. I was prescribed them after my 3rd - team at St Marys. My EPU I’ve been to this week don’t agree with them mind - day it might just delay things (which I suspect is happening) but also said they don’t harm so up to me and well, I’m pretty desperate! How are you doing?
