Fluctuating HCG Levels

[Naveena]

MY Lmp was Oct 28th but i know ive ovulated on Nov17 (Cd21) (i was charting and using OPK). I tested positive on Nov30th via HPT, and my first b/w was on Dec3rd =Hcg 561 & Pro 10.5.On 4th i was put on progestorone supp 200 mg/daymy hcg saga went like this after.
dec 3rd =Hcg 561 pro 10.5
dec 5th = Hcg 1455 pro rose normal
dec10th = Hcg 2783
Dec 13th = Hcg 2789
Dec 14th= Hcg 1700 (done at the hospital lab from heron)
Dec17th= Hcg 2785 pro 8.3 (progestrorone  supplement doubed at 400 mg/day oral)
dec19th =Hcg 2815..

Had  an u/s on 17th and it showed sac measuring 4.5 weeks and ehalthy for that period, but the tech said based on Lmp it was small.but its not Ectopic preg.. the sac was in the middle of my uteus ..and nothing seemed out of place. If i go by my conception date the sac is measuring right.The doc first thought was of vansihing twin with the huge drop and rise... but now even they r unsure of what is happening.. i have no symptoms..and no bleeding cramping nothing.. I ahd one prior missed m/c in may this yr.... I can't make any sense of this,They have scheduled me for one more b/w tom and another u/s. What r my chances at this point and is there anything i can do at this point to save my preg.what is the usual outcome of cases like mine, any insight will be very much appreciated.

I am so sorry...sounds like we are going through the same thing. So, I know exactly how you feel right now. How did the d&c go? I am debating on what to do next...I am going to have to wait til after Christmas now, which is kinda what we had planned on doing when we went in on Wed. and go the news. I was really hoping for my body to just m/c on its own, but it doesn't seem to be wanting to cooperate. My doc told me that a lot of women take the drugs or d&c asap so that they can just be done w/ it and not have to wait it out. I am going to ask him about possible infection as you mentioned, because I don't want to have anything to interfere w/ possibly trying this again (we have enough troubles to deal with!) We have 3 frozen embies to work with and then we are done...will have to close this chapter in our lives. Thanks for sharing what you are going through. I will keep praying and sending you positive vibes. Enjoy time this season w/ your family and friends. Keep me posted on what you are going to do next. For me..having the next step planned out has helped w/ our fertility trials. Good luck! :O)

I have been checking your progress for about 3 weeks now. I has posted my comment 7 Dec about abnormal HCG Levels. I pray that everything will turn out better for you. For some reason, I am not able to log in anymore on my previous account but my alias was phoebe. Phoebe was going to be my baby's name if she developed. I had my D&C yesterday. My HCG levels were rising but not doubling as the doctors wanted it to. Finally, they told me Monday about me having a miss miscarriage and to avoid infection to go ahead and do a D&C which was done yesterday. It's been a painful and emotionally draining 4 weeks. But I will keep praying to be blessed by HIM and for your blessing as well.

oh..i am so rooting for something good for you!!! you seem to have a good mindset, though! good for you!
I can't believe you didn't bleed until 12 wks...how devastating. I don't think I could go that long...nothing for me...no cramping, spotting, bleeding...just feel icky, which i am sure is due to many factors. dr told me i could wait it out (but could take up to 6 wks!) d&c or medication. we decided to give it a week w/ the holidays and all, and then if nothing has happened I am going to go in and get the drugs. I am a bit hesitant about the d&c, although I know many women do that, and it might be something i have to do. he told me it was an in/out procedure but very uncomfortable and they put you out. i have a 21 month old...and it is hard to be down and out w/ him! but i know i can't wait it out for 6 weeks...it would about me put me over the edge. Also, this was a FET, we have 3 more frozen embies, and would like to get that process started as soon as we can (not getting any younger!)
sending positive thoughts to you! keep me posted! :O)

Thanks, at this point even i know, its twist of fate now....and ive done all i can humanly possible...if this ismeant to be it will... have u started bleeding or anything at all.Is here any change, i don't have any symptoms either this totally !!!Im sorry but did the doc give u time frame when ud start bleeding, are they going to offer u an d&E or anything...how long do they expect u to just wait it out...? im going to aks my doc what my options r... i ahd missed m/c teh alst time i didn't even bleed a drop until i was 12 weeks almost.. that stinks.

Wish I had an answer to make all your worries go away...I know exactly what you are feeling. We had a roller coaster ride w/ my hcg levels. They weren't increasing like they should, but then would bump up big, then stay the same, bump up...so we thought it was possibly ectopic, ruled that out at our 6 wk u/s. At our 7 wk u/s saw a sac, but hcg levels weren't up as much as they should...so did another at 7w5d saw a sac, pole, but no h/b so the doc said it wasn't viable and only a matter of time before a m/c. I was devastated, since I have all the symptoms, but now know that it is over ...so i guess by monitoring you levels and keep doing u/s is the only thing that can be done. My doc said that once the embryo attaches, it is a matter of genetics that makes it m/c or not..nothing you can do, unless your progesterone levels aren't high enough and you can take something for that. Good luck, positive vibes your way...and as much as I can say, try not to worry...I know you will..I have spent the last 5 wks doing nothing but (which might make sense of the constant nauseousness. But keep positive..ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!
