Pregnant and constantly bleeding

Hi there my name is Jennifer and I was hoping someone would help me... im a little confused. I had my period on MAy 15th and on MAy 28th I didnt feel right.  I took two pregnany tests and they both came out positive.  I went to my doctor and she drew blood and the results were i was 3 weeks pregnant with an hcg level of 491.  June 2nd i went to the doctor again and my hcg levels went to 1339.  On June 10th I had light spotting and was worried so I went to the emergency and the doctor said I was fine and my hcg levels were at 2618... from thar day on i couldnt stop bleeding.  The next day (june 11)i went to emerg. again and my hcg levels were at 2649.  From there they set up an appointment for me to go to do an u/s.  On June 12th I went for an ultrasound and based on the ultrasound my baby is 7 mm and 5.6 weeks but were not able to see anything in the sac.... they completed another blood test and my hcg levels dropped to 2587...62 less than the day before.... the doctor said bc im bleeding still ad my hcg levels dropped a bit I may miscarry but to set another blood test in 5 days. I set up another appointment on monday june 16th for some more blood work and an u/s on the 19th... I just find it weird that my doctor told me I was 3 weeks pregnant and now all of a sudden I am 5.6 weeks pregnant based on the u/s? is it normal for my hcg levels to drop a bit...n I have gone from light spotting on Monday to a little heavier on tues, to wearing a pad on wednesday and thursday?? someone pls let me know if you know anyone or if you have had SOME KIND of the same issue...THANKS!!!
Jennifer

Hi jennifer,
just read your message.  I  have been in the same situation as you and had different outcomes.  I would say that with my own experience the onset of the pregnancy ending comes with severe abdo pain, this is what happened to me and unfortunately I miscarried twice, however on a brighter note I had the same sort of bleeding as you but with no abdo pain and carried on to have 2 healthy babies(seperate pregnancies).  I hope that things go well for you. I have also spoken to other women who have had heavy bleeding althrough their pregnancy and still delivered their babies.

Sadly enough, I have to agree with the previous post that it may be a miscarriage.  I'm surprised your doctor did not do an ultrasound.  I was just informed of my second miscarriage with twins within 6mo. today.  Each time I went to the doctor, she did not rely on blood tests, rather transvaginal ultrasounds.  Maybe your doctor did not due to your constant bleeding?  I think you should ask for one.

Also, because my D&C is not scheduled until Monday, I was advised to call the emergency number if I began to bleed as I would during my period.  If your doctor has yet to do anything about this, I would think about seeing somebody else.  Again, these are just suggestions.

I wish you luck!

im no doctor so he's my guess...with levels dropping and bleeding getting heavier it does sound like a m/c. with both of my m/c's i went through the same thing and sadly both ended a few days later. the only thing at this point is to wait it out and see what happens with the bloodwork in 5 days. if it goes up, then have a repeat u/s...if it goes down there isn't much to do. are passing clot like material or just bleeding at this point? best of luck and i hope things work out, you never know!
