Miscarriage question

Hi all! So I found out I was pregnant last friday by a positive home hpt. Went to the doc that day had an hcg level check and it was only 21.5 (i was about 5 weeks)  anyways, monday I started spotting had another hcg checked and my doc called tuesday morning and said my levels were dropping. Tuesday evening the spotting turned into medium bleeding and part of wednesday it was the same until wednesday evening when it went back to light spotting which is how it is still. I still feel pregnant. Dizzy emotional queezy and tired.. I am due to go back for another hcg on friday but wanted some input. I know it can take a while to return to normal but I had no cramping and the bleeding was lighter than my period.. O and I'm peeing every 5 minutes.. this pregnancy was a shocker as I was planning on getting the mirena put in this tuesday lol so going thru all this is a lot at once so any advice would b helpful thanks!

While all pregnancies are diff...21.5 is extremely low and for levels to go done from there isn't a good sign. My second mc went a lot like this. I hate to be a bummer, but symptoms are not a good base to confirm pregnancy on and you don't have to bleed heavy to mc. I hope all turns  out well for you!!!

All pregnancies are different. I had one this past May and bled identical to a period, and very little cramping. When I had blood testing done my levels were in the mid 100's. It's so difficult to say just based on symptoms and such alone. They tell so little that they're irrelevant. Your next beta should help give you better answers.

Thanks for a response:) I had my doctor check when I was there on monday and no uti. Ive peed a lot in the beginning with all my pregnancies, my doc said it was normal due to the increase of blood flow to my kidneys and that it gets worse with each pregnancy but why are the symptoms staying?? I've had a miscarriage before and my hcg levels never got above 14 and I cramped and bled really bad last time thais why I'm confused! I just want to be sure there is no chance I'm still pregnant somehow I guess. I'm okay with miscarrying as I know e everything happens for a reason but I don't want to have any more surprises. Thanks again for your response!

If the pregnancy is early enough (and based on your levels it sounds like you were) it stands to reason you won't cramp or bleed heavily as there's not as much tissue to pass. Even pregnant you should urinate every few minutes, especially not in early pregnancy. Are you 100% sure it's not a UTI? You don't always have to have symptoms of one to actually have one.

Bump. Lol I'm impatiently waiting a response :) I have peed twice since posting this but I know I don't have a uti or anything I'm researching stuff on miscarrying a twin.. I just feel pregnant more than I did when I was pregnant and why didn't I bleed heavy or cramp at all??
