6 Weeks 6 Days Low Rising HCG But Heatbeat found

I posted this in m/c forum as I didn't find this section *blush*

I have a large family and I am pregnant for the tenth time (last two pregnancies were m/c)
My levels seem to not be doing what they should be and I am really concerned after all I have read online.
The Doctor told me it is probably an ectopic or a m/c and due to the fact the scan showed everything where it should be I am really worrying. I do not have my HCG done again until Friday and a scan again next week.
I haven't had any bleeding but also no pregnancy symptoms which is the same as when I had my m/c's. With my children I had morning sickness from the word go.

HCG levels are as follows, please help me shed some light on this

28th July
HCG 4638

30th July
HCG 5000+ (Doctor didn't give me exact amount)
Ultrasound also done sighting a 3mm baby with a heartbeat of 118BPM

2nd August
HCG 7900+ (Doctor didn't give me exact amount)

Well after waves of emotion I was sent for another scan by the hospital yesterday.

6 weeks 3 days

Baby 8mm, heartbeat of 132-136BPM  
Measuring a day ahead.


***UPDATE***

2nd August HCG was 7590 NOT 7900 like I was told previously

3rd August scan shows small amount of bleeding behind the placenta

5th August UTI found after period type cramping

5th August HCG level 11450

5th August basic ultrasound machine used and flicker of heartbeat sighted.


I am really worried but they feel that things are ok now????

Seeing the high risk clinic at the hospital (FINALLY) on Tuesday 10th August

Scan again on the 19th August

Sadly my pregnancy didn't continue. 7 weeks and 6 days the heart stopped beating.

Don't worry so much...or at least that's also my advice to myself.  I have had 3 miscarriages and no children...I'm pregnant for my fourth time.  With the heartbeat being as strong as it is and if you can see it in the normal place then you can rule out an eptopic pregnancy.  Again, with as strong as the heartbeat is I wouldn't worry to much....my first 2 I didn't get to see the heartbeat...the last one I did and it was 110 and then dropped from there...Keep your head up and keep us posted....I'm glad they are allowing you to see a high risk clinic.

At the beginning of pregnancy hcg double every 48 hrs but at six weeks that is no longer the case. Hang in there the drs will let you know if you need to worry. Good luck!

It sounds like everything is okay. Just because you are having no pregnancy symptoms this time around does not mean that you are going to miscarry. Lots of doctors do not put much faith into hCg numbers because they level out at different times for different women. The only thing you can really do is continue to go to your doctor's appointments and hope for the best! Good luck!
