drop in hcg levels possible miscarriage

[maybemothertobe]

I found out that I was pregnant on Thursday the 26th of June. Two days before that I was bleeding, it was not heavy at all, actually it was not light but it was not heavy, anyhow, I told the ob nurse that had called me to tell me about the test, and she said that usually if I have more than one episode of bleeding, then they have me take a HCG level test, but she said that since I have had a PID before then she wanted me to go in, and so I did and the results for the first test was at about 40,000. Then the second one was decreased and to about 36,000. So I went in for an ultrasound and they said that my baby had not fully developed and that I was having a "missed abortion", but I have not had any cramping or any bleeding since my light episode before thursday. Also, they said that the baby was the size of a grain of rice and I'm wondering if you can already see the heartbeat, because they said that my baby did not and that is how they determined that it was dead, so I am just wondering what you all think, if you all think that the baby is also dead or not, and I also want to know if anyone has ever been in the same situation as I have been and then went back for a second u/s and it was healthy. I just really need some kind of hope to hold on to. Thanks.

This is an unbelievably frustrating roller coaster. Just got the call from the doc that my wife's HCG levels dropped from 2600 3 days earlier to 2548, and he said it is not good.  We had 2 embryos transfered and I read here that there is something called vanishing twin syndrome, which gives me hope.  We have to go in for an ultrasound tomorrow, but she has been beating the odds since having the embryos transfered.  Levels were 37, 58, 86, 162, 983, 2600 and then 2548.  The first ultrasound showed a gestational sac, but no fetal pole or heartbeat.  I remain optimistic, but this is clearly out of our control and we have no choice but to wait and see.  You never know, right?

hey! i have been on a emotional rollarcoaster or the past month almost. at first the doctor told me the baby didnt have a heartbeat but my hgc levels had increased. i went back 3 weeks later and the baby measured 6w1d with a heartbeat. a week later i started spotting so i went to he doctor they tested my hgc and my progesterone. the doc called me back this morning and said that my hgc levels had dropped and the bleeding im having is most likly from a misscarriage. they also stated that my progesterone was low. im currently 7w today. it is possible for my levels to go back up and if i am misscarrying is it because of my progesterone being low.  i go in for an u\s tomorrow. anybody in the same boat as me?

I started at 147, 2 days later 421, 2 days later horrible side pain some bleeding, 781.  2 days later 692 and diagnosed with miscarriage.....3 days later numbers are 1872!  This seems like a very uncommon occurance....can't find any info on dropping hcg that returns to normal.  I am approx 5wks....and have ashermans and sheehans syndrome and am on estrodiol...was told I couldn't have any more babies.  Waiting for my ultra sound this week.

I just found out I'm pregnant. The doctors are monitoring my hcg levels since we used fertility drugs to help us and its too early for an ultrasound (5 wks). My 1st hcg was about 200 and my 2nd test was only 280 47hrs between the tests. I'm 28 and diabetic but have 3 healthy children ages 11, 9, and 7, no history of misscarriage or tubal pregnacy.
This is my husbands first baby but his sperm checked out ok. They said we were  probably having probs getting pregnant bc I was on the depo so long. I'm not having any pain or bleeding, but the nurse said it could be bad news that my levels didn't double(they should double in 48-72hrs) or it could still be ok. I have to wait until monday now to get my next test. Has anyone had a similar experience ? what happened? I'm going crazy waiting and don't know what to think. Any advice would be greatly appriciated? thanks
worried mom

Ok , I'm not sure how far I'm in to it but I took a Home test on March 23, Clinic test march 24 and started spotting that night, MD appointment on the 25 my level was 366. On the 31 they were 293 so he said that it looked like a miss, but took another blood test April 7 my level were at 621?? What does this mean any one????
