bleeding while pregnant, told I'm miscarrying but #'s are going up

PLEASE HELP ME!  I have been told that I am around 8 wks. pregnant.  I honestly don't think I'm that far along, but regardless, I have been bleeding and cramping like a normal period, however I went to the doctor on Thursday and my # was 1600, the doc told me that the number would double everyday if things were going good, but if something was wrong, the # would drop.  I go today, there is no heartbeat on the baby, but my # is 3000.  Should my number be  higher today, is there a reason I'm still bleeding - it's not like a pouring of blood, but it is blood!  Please give me advice and help

It's been a while since my last post....we originally thought I had a miscarraige but it turns out that my pregnancy was eptopic and had to have an injection of methotrexate.  Absolutly devistated.

I was 6 weeks pregnant and recently had a miscarraige on Friday.  It started off as light spotting then went to something simular to a period with small clots.  What I was told was that your levels will still go up because the placenta is still functioning in your body, therefore if you are actually miscarrying the levels don't drop right away.  I do know that your levels should be doubling though. At 6 weeks they did a transvaginal and external ultrasound to check for an embriotic sac which could not be found and in this case they were initially concerned that the fetus may have been eptopic however because my levels dropped drastically they no longer suspect eptopic pregnancy.  It is very scary when you see blood because your mind automatically assumes the worst!  I knew soemthing was really wrong when I started getting back pain on one side  and pain in my abdomen.  this has been very devistating for us as we have gone through IVF for the first time and this was our first baby.  All I can say to women on this forum is you cannot prevent miscarraige, make sure you have a good support system and don't blame yourself.

Hi everyone.

I am supposed to be 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow and last night I had extremely heavy bleeding that lead to my regular period cramping and back pain. I went to the ER and noticed I started spotting a little bit and had a couple pieces of tissue come out as well and I was only bleeding when I went to the bathroom and it was bright bright red. The doctors didn't do much but say that I was most likely having a miscarriage. They were going to do a vaginal exam to see if my cervix dilated but decided that they would send me for a blood test in 48 hours (tomorrow) to check my HCG levels. Right after I left the hospital the bleeding completely stopped and I have been waiting all day for it to come again but it hasn't. I've noticed tonight that when I wipe after using the bathroom there is a very light and pale pink tinge.

I have been reading non stop about whether this is for sure a miscarriage because I just can't seem to believe this could happen. This baby was truly a miracle for my fiancée and I. Has anyone had this happen and still carried full term or am I going to have to face the harsh reality of losing a child. This will be my second miscarriage.

Im 22yrs old and have lost a total of 3 babies all in the space of 1 year, 2 misscarriages and 1 ectopic..,
Of late me and my partner found out i was pregnant again and it shocked us both considering i have only 1 tube left after the ectopic.
2days after finding out i started spottin so we went to the Doc;s to confirm what we already knew...,
She done a blood test n a urine test that come up very light but she said was very Preg.
The blood result wer only low 54 and the lady doc i seen the nxt dau told me i ws not preg...,
Angry and confussed i went to another doc and after another blood test 4 days later found that the blood test was at 197
The nxt day while at work i started to bleed alot heavier with cramping, Scared of another ectopic i was rushed to the hospital, where they did test and crap... Only to have 6 different doctors tell me i am preg, im not preg i am preg im not preg etc... Me and my partner heartbroken deceided it must have been a misscarriage.
However 2 weeks later after continuious bleeding small clots i have done another test to see if it will come up negative only to find out im still preg... CONFUSSING... tell me about it... Doctore shouldnt be aloud to tell you, your not pregnant unless they know for sure... Now the waiting game begins!!

I had a miscarrage 2-3 months ago. I found out that I was 5 weeks prego this Monday today is Wensday and I started bleeding and very little cramping. i have no pregnancy symptoms at all. I went to the E.R and they told me that my QUANT levels were 17.5 I dont know what to do I need to know why I had two miscarrages back to back.........I try to look at it like this God blessed me with two beautiful girls so if I cant ever have another child at least I have them. Even though it is very painful to know you are pregnant and loose the baby.

Well what can I say, I'm tired of trying it's been close to three years now and I've had 5 confirmed miscarriages in a row. I feel like I'm a machine... My husband and I really want a child together. For the first time in my life i'm with someone I truly want a child with. It's not happening right now... I'm not going to give up but my clock is ticking for I am 40 yrs old. We've decided that if we need to we will put the money into trying to have a baby via other means.
I'm pregnant now but my numbers are decreasing last I heard. I do not feel as pregnant as I did 5 days ago. For me it's very discouraging..

Thx for listenning...

I am about 8 1/2 weeks according to date-of-last-period.  Last week I experienced light brown or pink spotting every couple of days.  About 6 days ago I started to experience light bleeding in the evenings.  About 4 days ago I had an ultrasound which detected the foetal heartbeat as well as dating the foetus at about 6 weeks rather than 8 weeks.  This explained the lack of pregnancy symptoms, however I am still bleeding.  I think the bleeding is increasing slowly but I am not sure as it only seems to happen in the afternoons and evenings.  Also there have been very tiny clots.  I am worried sick as I am 40 and in a high risk group.  I have searched everywhere and can't find anyone else who has experienced bleeding only in the evenings.  I wonder if it has to do with being tired or sick.  I have been sick with a cold since a couple of days before the bleeding started and have had a bad cough.  Has anyone else experienced bleeding only in evenings, when tired, sick or over exerting?

This morning I got up and went to the bathroom and saw that I was bleeding, I was confirmed that I was pregnant on Thursday 5/21/09 and that I was about 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant and my hcg levels were at 61.5, went back on saturday and my hcg levels went up to 156.3% so they more than doubled and they seemed to be really happy, today when I started bleeding I called the dr. and told them when I used the bathroom there was blood, 30 minutes there was no blood and this was at 7:20 am, at 1:30 pm today I started bleeding again, this time when I wiped it was bright red, but it was only for a few minutes again, they rechecked my hcg levels again and they went down to 121 but my bleeding has stopped, just gone down to barely spotting and it is brown spotting, could I have possibled miscarried a twin? I havent noticed that anything has passed at all, i have had no kind of clot all the blood has been clean, just some sticky brown dischare earlier this evening ( sorry for the graphics) if anyone has had the same symptoms or knows anything about this could you please tell me wheather the nurse is correct in thinking that I have miscarried, cuz still nothing has passed and I am sure of that, i have been paying very close attention, also i am having no pain what so ever!!

i had a miscarriage when i was 13 1/2 weeks pregnant. when i was 7 weeks i started bleeding pouring blood and went to er and they took a ultrasound found out i was pregnant with twins and that i had a blood clot by baby B sac but i heard both heartbeats at 7 weeks. i bled off and on my entire pregnancy but when i miscarried the night before i got in from work and started shaking like i was freezing done that all night then i started vomiting and then started bleeding again. went to dr the next day and they done an ultrasound and they couldnt find one heartbeat but they told me my cervix was closed and it didnt look like i was going to miscarry but then about 4 hrs later i was back up at the er because i had miscarried but mine was more like real labor pains i was cramping really bad in my stomache and in my back and as soon as the babies come out i stopped hurting. i have no children but everyone says that it sounded like real labor pains to them.

I feel for you, you went through this twice, and you had to tell your three year old two different times. Did your three year old cry lots. My little girl rubbes my belly all the time. She talkes about being a big sister. It's so heartbreaking. Everytime she mentiones the baby i start to cry. It's so hard keeping this from her but i would love to spare her the pain. Do you still have the one child?

Thank you for your response, take care.
