Confused-Preg, low hcg, heartbeat, bleeding

by Magabell, Oct 03, 2004 12:00AM
Someone please help.  I am totally stressed out here.  Here is my story in a nutshell:
I am about 6-7 weeks along.  I started brown spotting last Sat.  I then had labwork done-hcg was 2576.  Then 2 days later I had more labwork done, hcg=2900.  The numbers are low and not increasing much at all.  The dr was concerned so he ordered an u/s to be done that night.  So, Mon night, I had an u/s done.  Everything looked great.  We saw the heartbeat and he said it all looked just fine.  My dr. was no longer concerned.  So, I relaxed - a little bit.  Then, this past Fri night, I had red blood--kind of light at first, but now it has really picked up.  It comes and goes (never completely gone though).  One minute it is heavy and the next it is lighter.  I am having cramping-but that comes and goes too.  My dr. is aware of all this--he just keeps telling me to hang in there and things could be fine.  I have to call him if I pass clots or tissue.  I am passing some clots (not big), but no tissue.  Exactly what does tissue look like?  What color?  Can anyone tell me what is going on???  Do you think I am m/c?  I am preparing myself for that.  I m/c in Feb, so I know what to expect, but this is taking longer than last time.  SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE?????

Thanks.

=( I'm SO sorry you are going through this.  I wish I could make things feel better for you.  When I had my first miscarriage the fetal tissue was kind of greyish (sorry if that's offensive to anyone) and I personally think you'll know if you pass it.  I was 11 weeks along but the baby stopped growing around 6 weeks.  It was definitely big enough to notice.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers that everything is A-OK.  I had HEAVY bleeding with ALL My pregnancies and 3 of them turned out perfectly healthy sons so I hope that this is the case for you too!

Tissue is more grayish or sometimes kinda brownish from the blood and you definately can tell the difference from blood clots, because blood clots are bright red. I hope that all the bleeding stops and that your little one is fine!!!

I miscarried last night.  I was prepared for this to happen--there was sure a lot of bleeding, so I knew.

I am very very worried. I am 6 wks pregnant and had mild spotting on saturday. Went for the U/S and there was a heartbeat of 102. I stopped spotting a few hrs later and today i am spotting again. Fresh pink blood only on the toilet paper. This is my 3rd pregnancy. The first 2 were miscarriages.
I dont know whats going on? Has anyone experienced this? Also, in this pregnancy so far, i have had no heartburn or constipation like earlier. Just some nausea.
