Am I still pregnant?

I need your advice. I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. I took a pregnancy test on Aug. 11 and it was positive. I then began spotting but it was brown and light red. After a week it stopped. I went to the ER the night I began spotting and my HCG level was 777. I went to my OGB yesterday and they did an ultrasound and say the didnt see a sac. I am thinking that it was too early because my last cycle began July 10. I have taking 3 pregnancy test since then and they all came back positive.  How long after a miscarriage does a pregnancy test remain positive? Could I have had a miscarriage even though I only had light spotting or was it too early for the ultrasound. I am going back to the doctor today and hopefully my HCG level has doubled.

i hope the best for you, but prepare for the worst. Not to harsh. there is nothing like the feeling of thinking, and feeling pregnant, then the next second your not.

I went to have an u/s at 12 weeks, and they told me the baby had died, i was shocked and heartbroken, i just looked at the doctor

I went back to the doctor today and my hcg level is now 234. I have to return on Friday to get it check again. I will then return on Monday for the another hcg level. The doc told me today that it is not likely that my level will go back. But I have faith and miracles do happen.

get your doctor to redo your hcg, then redo it a few days later, if it is doubling then you are indeed still pregnant.
