Crazy HCG levels
by hope1977, Nov 20, 2007 11:55AM
On oct. 29, I found out I was pregnant, The next day I was bleeding. i went to take a blood test and they said everything was normal. I was still bleeding, so I took another blood test. they said I was misscarrying. My HCG levels dropped from 15o to 70 to 40 to 33 to 16. But, WENT UP to 33. I called today and they are 29. This is weird and they do not know what to tell me. Could you be pregnant even if the levels drop? I know the levels usually double every 48 hours. So this is not a good sign. But I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them? Thanks.

If your levels are dropping than it would be classified as a miscarriage. Levels have to rise and double every 24-72 hours. It possible to have your levels be high, drop dramatically and then rise (but even that rising is 24-72 hours) and thats usually because there was twins. Since your levels are so low to begin with than I would say it doesn't look good at all. I'm sorry that you are going through this.

Couldn't it be because she's miscarrying and not everything is coming out naturally? My doctor told me that if my levels didn't go down to zero then that meant there was still tissue in my uterus that would have to be removed. Maybe that's what it is? I'm sorry you're going through what we went through! Just know its nothing you did or didn't do. It just wasnt the right time for you. Good luck in the future!

It took 4 weeks for my levels to reach 0 after my miscarriage. It take a while and sometimes they still jump around a little.

It has been 4 weeks now. I wonder if I was going to have twins. How many weeks were you. I stopped bleeding, last week. And when you say that the levels jumped around a little, how much did they jump by? I just want my period or to know if I am pregnant, or misscarrying, so I can try again. This will be our first chlid. We had been trying for more than 2 years.

My doctor just called and said that not all labs are the same, so she suggets I use their lab. Another doctor told me the same thing. She said that I can go to any lab, but continue to use the same one. I have the next test on Monday, Nov. 26, and then once a week after that. I just want to know. I will post the results when I get them.Thanks.
