Still sooo worried

I am sooo sitting on pins and needles here as I posted before my HCG dropped from 30 to 24 but the doctor told me to stay on my pometrium and go back in a week for another blood test
The nurse said it is not necessarily a bad thing BUT everything I read tells me it is a miscarriage
I am an emotional wreck
it is sooo hard to stay positive right now

I can understand how you'd be worried because you don't what's happening in your body right now.  I actually have an underactive thyroid, which I've been on medicine for a while.  I know that the levels can change in your thyroid and I know pregnancy can cause the levels to be changed.  I'm getting nervous because they did bloodwork for my thyroid the same day they did the bloodtest to see if I'm pregnant.  I still don't have the results back from my thyroid test so I'm not sure if my levels changed again and if so, if my medicine dosage needs to be changed.  I'm worried because I don't want my thyroid to affect my pregnancy.  Again, try to hang in there until Sunday.  Good luck to you!

so sorry you went through this once before I know how terrible it can make someone feel
The Nurse called me with the news on Monday afternoon after i tool my blood test on Monday morning
She told me to go back on Sunday for anther blood test
the doctor also put me on medication for an underactive thyroid as of Tuesday so I am not sure what that is suppose to do and if that has anything to do with my HCG dropping
I am not feeling any different and still no bleeding or cramping but even though I am still tired my boobs are still not sore so I have no idea what is happening to my body right now
I have to wait until Sunday but the waiting is killing me
I am expecting the worse but praying for the best - thanks for you kind thoughts

Hi there,

I've been wondering about you.  I've been following your posts and when I read the one about your HCG levels, I could only imagine what you're going through.  I am pregnant myself and I'm worrying about everything and anything.  Last summer my HCG levels were dropping and it ended in a chemical pregnancy.  I'm thinking if the nurse told you it may not be a bad thing, then she could very well be correct.  How long ago did you find out about this?  I remember reading it, but not sure of the date.  The reason I ask is because when I was told about my levels last summer, I ended up having the miscarriage like 3 or 4 days later.  Do you still feel the same as you did before you got the call from the nurse or do you feel anything different ever since?  I know it's tough.  Try to hang in there.  I know it's easier said then done.  Good luck to you!
