Low HCG and possible miscarriage
by MommaJessie, Sep 16, 2006 12:00AM
According to my LMP I should be about 6w4d but first HPT didn't show up + until a week ago. I went to the DR. last tuesday and had a beta HCG drawn, DR. said that levels were only 44 and that I was having a m/c. This would be #5 if she is right. I went for my 2nd Beta HCG Thursday and haven't gotten those results back yet.( Dr. told me I was miscarrying on one beta hcg result) Has anyone had or heard of such a low HCG, with continuing pregnancy symptoms, no bleeding or cramping and a normal pregnancy continuing?

Here's my story: I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant (LMP 7/26) after having a miscarriage in early July.
Last week at 6 weeks pregnant, 9/6/06, my hcg level was at 2500, on 9/8 hcg level at 3000 and on 9/11 hcg level at 4200 (in other words, in 5 days it still hadn't doubled). On Monday, when the Dr. called, she said that the numbers show that I'm having a miscarriage and I should go ahead and schedule a d&c for later this week so that we could test the fetus and see why I've had 2 miscarriages in a row. I felt crushed. Well in the meantime, I did a little research and found that there are a small percentage of pregnancies whose hcg levels do not fall within the norm. I also found this great article at http://blogs.webmd.com/pregnancy-and-infertility/ (scroll down to HCG levels...). It gave me a little hope when everything was seeming so hopeless. So, I told the doc that I wasn't ready for a d&c yet. Instead, I said that I wanted another ultrasound done (previously, on 9/6 u/s there was an egg, yolk and fetal pole, but no heartbeat).
On Wednesday (9/13) at 7 weeks pregnant, we saw a heartbeat on the ultrasound! The nurse and the Dr. were in shock!! Granted we're not out of the woods yet, but I find this to be very encouraging. Regardless of what the Dr. says, always trust your intuition!
