What is happening?

Hi ladies

How are you? A couple of weeks ago I posted a comment stating that I had taken multiple preg test all positives but faint. I was given a blood test and it did come out that I am pregnant. My HCG was at 18 therefore my doctor had me retest. I took a second blood test at a different location and my HCG levels came back at 17. My doctor sent me to take yet another HCG test because she fears that my HCG levels are dropping which could mean a miscarriage or worst yet a tubal preganancy. Unfortunately, my doctor is closed today because of the holiday and I am getting impatient and worry. I physically feel ok although no signs of pregancy. I am not sure what to think since it has been a week since the news and I have not experience any type of cramping. I had three small spots on Sunday but nothing else. What is happening? How long does a miscarriage take? If its tubal what am I suppose to be feeling? Has this ever happen to anyone before? Please help!

I have had this happen myself.  If your hcg levels are not doubling every 48 hours it could be a sign of m/c.  I have known people whose dont rise quickly and now have healthy babies also.  The only thing you can really do is continue seeing your doctor and play the waiting game.  Try not to stress yourself out (I know thats hard) and get rest.  I dont know much about tubals my cousin had one but she had severe cramping so I really cant answer that.  Wish you luck :)

Well just found out that my HVG levels dropped to 4. Dr. said that it is known as a chemical pregnancy. I was referred to a specialist. We will see what happens. Still no period.
