I may be having a miscarriage.

Thursday, I took a blood test and it showed I was 3 weeks pregnant.  My hCG level was 49.  Tuesday, I go to the OBGYN and my levels dropped to 15.  The nurse says my pregnancy doesn't look promising.  I'm scared.  Before I had the first test, my breasts were very sensitive and I was having sharp pains.  Now, I'm bleeding, not real bad...but still.  And, I had very tiny blood clots.  What is going on?  Why would my hCG drop that low that fast? Am I having a miscarriage?  I'm very distraught.

I had a miscarriage.  I was in severe pain friday morning and my husband rushed me to the ER.  I'm having a hard time, and so is my husband.  We didn't sleep at all last night.  Thank you for responding Lozzii, I appreciate it.  This was my first pregnancy and now I'm so scared to get pregnant again.

Hi, I am really sorry that you are going through this. :((  I sympathise with you.  I saw my doctor after I started bleeding at 7 weeks and she had me do a HCG test 72 hrs apart.  My levels were at 2000 then dropped the next test. She told me that a drop in HCG means that a miscarriage is imminent.  It happened not long after this.  The cramping was quite servere.  Mine started just as I was going to bed and continued through the night and then I passed everything when I woke up.  I'm sorry for your loss.
