did I have a miscarriage?

[malachimicah]

I did two pregnancy tests , one oon 1/12 and the other on 1/13.Both were positive.LMP was 12/23/09 and I started spotting on 1/4/10 for about 7 days.This is unusual for me as I have 2 kids and with those pregnancies I had a missed period.So the doctor ordereda HCG test on 1/13.Levels were 127.I did another test on 1/15 and the levels dropped to 62.The spotting stopped about 5 days ago.Is this definitely a miscarriage? I had no cramping , just some lower back pain.I am just a little confused.Help anyone

I agree with adgal...I am sorry that you are going through this as well. I experience the same thing a few weeks ago, and it was a Chemical pregnancy for me. Didn't have much cramping other then my lower back and some leg cramps, but heavy bleeding. I have had several m/c's in the last year that I have almost lost count, however, I am not giving up and neither do you. I have two girls as well, but desire to have another one if this the Lord's will for me. I will be seeing a specialist soon, and pray I can find out the cause. I wish you the best, and keep us posted

It is always best to have those levels retested just to make sure, but I am so sorry, this does sound like a chemical pregnancy.  I have had them myself and I know how heartbreaking it is.  Chances are you won't have much cramping, although you may have some much like your period.  If I am right and this is in fact a chemical pregnancy, you will some bleeding, much like a heavier then average period.  Now please remember, I am certainly no Dr. and he/she is the only one that can diagnose this for certain, but based on my own personal experiences, that is what it sounds like. Again, I am so sorry you are going through this and I wish you well.
