Why did this happen?

July 8th I was 9 weeks pregnant. I started to bleed alot...i saturated my pants,and bed and passed some tissue. I went to the dr and we did 2 Hcg tests. The first one was 75000 and the next day it was 51000. Therefore my dr confirmed I had a miscarriage. Then last week i went for a routine physical and while palpating my abdomen my dr suspected i was pregnant. Ultrasound confirmed that i was 16 weeks. What does this mean? So I did not actually miscarriage despite the blood tests or is there a possibility that i was carrying twins? Im confused and upset as for in the interim I had severe back pain. Seeing as how i believed i was not pregnant i took anything and everything under the sun to try to alleviate the pain. My dr was even giving me medications (amitriptyline, pregablin and T3's ) as he was starting to suspect that my pain could be due to MS. Now i am extremely worried that my prescription drug use has harmed my baby. Please help...thank you!

Although you ask some very important questions, as a Neonatologist I do not have the specialized knowledge to answer them. You need to discuss your questions with your Obstetrician or with a Perinatologist.
