I had spotting on and off for a few days before the bleeding started. For me it happened naturally and I did not have to have a d&c. I have had 3 early mc at 4, 5, and 6 weeks and they were each a little different. Two were about as long as regular AF, just heavier and more cramps. The third was longer and lasted for weeks, but the doctor said that is very unusual. I am sorry that you have to even think about all of this. :(

thanks BeeHappy76.  i just don't understand why the bleeding has stopped if my hcg levels went down....did you have a d & c? how long did you have to wait? or did it happen on its own and if so how long did that take before it was done. :( thanks.

I am so sorry. I did experience something similar but unfortunately it did not have a happy ending.

But sometimes there can be errors in the tests, or if they were done at different labs, the numbers can be calibrated a little differently. It does seem strange that the numbers barely went up between first and second draw and then were way more than doubling between 2nd and 3rd draw. I would ask OB for another test tomorrow to check the numbers again. Until then, I know it is pretty much impossible, but try to take it easy and not stress too much. I hope you get good news tomorrow, and if not, we are all here for you.

so i'm probably miscarrying but the bleeding has stopped...what happens next then? will i have to have a d & c? how long will i have to wait to have that done? i'm so sad and confused...

today i had dark blood (brownish) nothing red or pink and now i barely have anything. i've never even made any marks on a panty liner, only when i wipe.
i'm suppose to follow up on monday with my reg. ob dr.  
is there any hope?
anyone else experience this???

I'm so sorry.  I don't think hcg should go down. I know progesterone can fluctuate but I don't think hcg is supposed to go anywhere but up. But I could be wrong.  Did you talk to your doctor?
