very confused

[sav1987]

Hi i am 23 yrs of age and am new to the site , ive been doing some research as am very confused and wanting to know if anyone out there has expereinced what i have and what am going through.

I had a missed miscariage in March 2009, i went for my scan and the lady did an ultra sound and an internal and said my body had not let go etc and do i want a d & c are to wait i chose to wait and i naturally mis carried the following week , it was by far the worst experince mentally and physically in my life.

on the 3rd if december 2010 this year i received a possitve pregancy test, i aint been feeling to good either, i got an appointment that day at the hospital , she did a scan and could see nothing at at all, i also had a hcg blood test whch came back 110, i  then had another on the sunday which was 373 then had another 4b hours later on the 7th dec which was in the 800s so i was told, so all looking well and then to come back on the 17th december for another scan and blood test.

so i had a scna today which is the 17th december the scan showed a sac with nothing in it measuring 5 to 5 and a half weeks , i then was given another blood test which i later got my results today when i called back , i was told they were 2500 she then told me to come back sunday !!!

i dont have a clue what to think at all and i am so worried anyone been through this ???
i also dont know how far am supposed to be either its slighly complicated to work out but i would of said i conceived roughly 5 to 6 weeks ago !!!

im going out my mind left thinking whats going on with my body and dont want to suffer again ,
thankyou for taking your time to read this

sorry i  cant help but really worry myslef how have you worked out the hours of mine doubling ?? xx

also it isn't uncommon for hcg levels and ultrasounds to not match. mine didn't match. i had a higher hcg level but when i got an ultrasound they weren't consistent. i was told i might have a missed miscarriage as when i was supposed to be 7 weeks, i was only measuring 5 and no baby was seen but everything turned out to be a ok, my daughter is 7 months old now! :)

[mom2ariana]

its so difficult to say what is normal and what isn't as hcg levels vary so much between women and between pregnancies. but all i know is that yours are within the normal range... normal is 48-72 hours in early pregnancy and when you get to be about 6/7 weeks even up to 84 hours is considered normal. yours are 74.6, but like i said 15% of normal pregnancies are STILL slower than 72 hours. and yours are BARELY slower.

[sav1987]

i thought it was important that the double every 48 hours in early pregnancy ??

[sav1987]

i will check that website out now thankyou for your replies, i aint totally clued up about these hcg blood levels its all new to me
xx

[mom2ariana]

oh and it also says in 15% of normal pregnancies the hcg takes more than 72 hours to double. :)

[mom2ariana]

your hcg levels are doubling every 74.6 hours! which is good!! 24-72 is a rough estimate and 74 is normal and healthy as far as i know!! here is the link i got that from, just take out the spaces:

but my hcg levels were in the 800s on the 7th which was 10 days ago and now there 2500 am so worried i dont know whats been going on since the last time i had them but 2 weeks ago nothing was seen in the scan but now today a sac ,

i cant work out my dates but all i know is my periods are regular give are take a few days but my first day of my last period was september the 25th, i had the morning after pill on the 2nd october and played it all safe that month,

october 25th comes no period, however i ahve had the morning after pill i the past and it delayed my period by 10days

me and my partner deceided on trying for a baby in november we had sex between the 4th and 12th of november and a week after , so i must of conceived any time between then

i got the positive preg test on the friday 3rd december

he is as nervous as me , as the last time was unplanned and found out on the scan it had stopped growing 5 wk 6d and my body did not reconigse this

i am so gratefull for your replies  :)

if you conceived 5/6 weeks ago you may not even be 5 weeks yet and it would be too early to tell. hcg levels can vary A LOT and the numbers aren't as important as the fact that they are doubling every 24-72 hours, which yours are doing. it sounds like all is well so far! ill be praying for you and your little baby!! keep us posted please!

the one you had today may have just been to early to see it.

I am so very sorry for your prior loss. I also experienced a miscarriage and it was the most horrible thing I've ever gone through. I think it makes us panic even more when we get pregnant again. It sounds to me like baby is growing and your hcg is raising well. I would try not to worry I know easier said than done. It's still too early to see heartbeat or anything so just keep getting blood work and schedule your next ultrasound. It does sound like your pregnancy is progressing. I know it's hard to have faith or trust everything is ok but do your best and know that all us MedHelp ladies are here to talk to. Many of us have experienced misscariage so we know how truly devastating it is and how scared it makes you when you do get pregnant again.
