9 Weeks & Threatened Miscarriage... Anyone?

[Nia1978]

Hi, I would today be about 9 weeks along. I went in last Friday due to spotting (very very light brown), to the ER and they did an Ultrasound an HCG test. They said everything seemed normal and the bleeding was not from the uterus/cervix. My HCG levels were 3700.  Sunday I went in again to the ER due to the spotting become darker and more frequent with clots. They did another HCG test. I went to the OB today (Monday) and they did another ultrasound. Unlike the first one done only a few days before... I was told that my sac was about 9 weeks along but the fetus was only about 6 1/2 weeks and my HCG levels had dropped 700. I am told this is not a good sign and to prepare for the worst. After coming home today, the bleeding is slowly but steadily getting worse and I've begun to pass more clots. In all, I am told my pregnancy does not look to be a normal preganancy and I will more than likely lose the baby. Though it's not ABSOLUTE, the doc did say it was unlikely the preganncy will continue...

If a fetus is showing only about 6 1/2 weeks along but my gestational sac shows to be about 9 weeks... should I more than likely expect to miscarry?

I would prepare for the worst. I had an ultrasound my first pregnancy where I was supposed to be 9 weeks and the baby was only measuring 6w4d. I ended up miscarrying.

Im sorry but based on the fact your HCG levels have decreased, you are most likely in the process of miscarrying. Since you have been passing clots and fetus is not measuring correctly, it is almost certain this is a miscarriage.  Im so sorry.

Although it may be hard to come to terms with I would prepare for the worst. It sounds like perhaps the baby stopped developing and you are starting to pass it naturally. My first m/c I had a D&C and had no symptoms (bleeding/cramping) at all and was told at my appt that there was no heartbeat detected at 11 weeks along. The second m/c I had the same thing as you - I starting bleeding and passing clots and KNEW that I was indeed m/c again. I went in to get my HCG read and it dropped so fast and they confirmed m/c #2. I'm sorry that you are going through this and I know that it is very devastating and confusing. If you ever need someone to chat with you can PM me. Good luck to you xoxo
