UTI a sign of miscarriage?

Went to ER last night for cramping, stomach pains and back pain.. I thought for sure that I was miscarrying but it turned out that I had a UTI.  They put me on antibiotics and sent me home.  My hcg level on monday was 5000 and when they took it at the hospital it was 21000.  I thought it should have been higher..  Then also did a transvaginal ultra sound and saw a sac that measured 5 weeks and 5 days and the yolk sac was 1mm.. Didn't see a fetal pole   When should the fetal pole develop and this morning i don't have any pregnancy systems.

A UTI won't cause you to miscarry (well unless its not taken care of and then it can cause problems). Like Atlantisea said you won't see the heartbeat until after 6 weeks so don't worry about that. Also levels don't really matter that much in pregnancy and most doctors will go by an ultrasound rather than the level increase. However, they do want the to raise at least 60% in 48 hours.

You don't usually find a heartbeat until after 6 weeks. It is quite possible you and the baby are fine. Let us know what happens...
