hi nwhite sorry to hear that you miscarried but I am on my way too, today my hcg level went down from 663 to 313 which means my pregnancy will go by its self , on tuesday i will do more blood test to make sure my hcg will go to zero, we did vaginal ultrasound and nothing was seen so by that we cannt know where was the pregnancy or was it ectopic or not so worries will stay.
about you when did you misscarried and how long after miscarriage you started clomid its very important to take rest for 2 cycles or three I will take a REST too coz i need it.
any way I wish you the best luck coz I know how such issues are hard to the feelings. let me hear about you.

Well I miscarried in May of this year, sounds just like yours, i started having some spotting, I went to the ER, they told me my numbers were at 600 when they should be at 1000 or more. They also did a vag u/s could not find the sac, they told me that at that time, I was "threatening a miscarriage" I didnt belive it though, I thought I was fine. The following week, I started bleeding very heavy, on my second day of bleeding the placenta came out, it was very noticeable, I have had a very hard time with this, and we have tried so hard doing every thing by the book to get pregnant again but have had no luck. That was 6 months ago. So sorry to hear that you are going through the same thing, I know it is very hard.

You need to ask your doctor some questions. I had the same thing. I had two miscarriages extremely early.  My doc did a progesterone tests during the second one and found my level to be low.  He out me on progesterone shots for several months and then we change to suppositories.  I am now 12.5 weeks pregnant.  You should ask your doctor to test for several factors...  Do you have low progesterone?  A blood clotting factor?  My doc was great and tested for quite a bit.  Because of his diligence I found I should be taking a baby aspirin everyday (and should never be on the pill again).  He boosted my folic acid up even more then what was in my prenatal vitamin and prescribe the progesterone.

hello , Its very hard to pass through all of this but there is no luck as you said , I am still waiting for the miscariage and I want to ask you if you experinced pain on the front of your thighs coz I have this kind of pain and I think its related to what I am going through, so are you on clomid now? and yes I think the progest. level should be done? folic acid is good to be taken when you are trying to get pregnant. best of luck

[nwhite]

I didnt have any pain until I actually miscarried, when I miscarried it cramped really bad, and had muscle spasms in my back. Do you know for sure that you will miscarry? Just because you are threatening a miscarriage does not indefinetely mean that you will miscarry. I hope the best for you and will be glad to talk to you.

[nwhite]

Sorry to hear that, but if you plan to try again, my doctor said that by me taking clomid that is very likely to reduce my chance of a miscarriage again, but one thing that I am aggrevated about is that I miscarried due to low hormone level and my doctor does not even seem to be worried about that. I asked him if I should be taking something now, he said that we will worry about that when pregnancy comes. Im afraid that may be to late. Any thoughts??

[sue2000]

yes I will miscarry soon coz my HCG levels are dropping but I am really worried about the pain which I will get when I miscarry I am 8 weeks pregnant.

[sue2000]

hello , I was told that my pregnancy will not proceed coz of the low HCG level and coz my HCG is not doubling every 48-72 hours, I didnt do progesterone test. I was also told by my dr that I cannt take any medication unless a pregnancy is there and if they are sure its inside the womb coz he couldnt give me progesterone supplement and not considering that it might be an ectopic pregnancy (outside the womb) in the fallopian tube for example, so if I took progeterone and the pregnancy is ectopic so it will help the pregnancy cell to do implantation in the tubes which is the wrong place. about me I cannt wait any more i want to end up with what I am going through ,today I did HCG test and it dropped to 236 still, I haven't got bleeding. I want to finish coz physically I am tired and I need sometime to be strong again before trying to gt pregnant  but emotionally what can heal me is getting pregnant again soon. my prayers for you, myself and every other woman trying to get a baby .

[nwhite]

I know what you mean. To me I can not be emotionally better until I do reach pregnancy again. But one thing that makes me feel better is to know what it is like to be pregnant, I got to experience pregnancy. Does that sound crazy? My baby would have been due next month and the closer I get to that day the more emotional I am. I am so glad that there are people to talk to because when I try to talk to my dh he just looks at me like he doesnt know what to say. That irritates me sooo bad!!! How far along are you?

[nwhite]

What is the Iron suplement for? I know you are going through alot, but I will be praying for you. You do the same for me!

[sue2000]

I went today to the dr and did vaginal ultra sound  no bleeding in the tubes and he said everything will be alright I need 2 or 3 weeks to get my hcg levels back to zero, he gave me iron supplement (gyno-Taradyferon). I know how it feels when you think that by now I would have been in my 8th month or I would have the baby near me but this really increase the stress on us I am trying not to think that I was pregnant (even its very hard to me) but what we can only do is to look to the future, I also feel that I dont want to see and talk to anyone but again this is life. my hd too when I talk to him he makes me feel like I am in my own world or I am silly and he says why r u taking things so seriously every woman in the world faces what you are going through u r not the first neither the least>. Thats alone is a pain.

I have been trying to conceive for a year and a half.  I went through this same process with my first child.  My progesterone level started at 4 and now after a does of Chlomid, my 21 day Progesterone Check came back at 12.5.  Is it possible to get pregnant with that level or does it need to be higher?
