Hi your stories just made me cry. I am 4weeks pregnant my HCG last Wednesday was in the 500's then today a week later it was in the 1900's last week they didn't see anything on the US today they said they are starting to see a sac, but they are determined that I am still going to miscarry because of my hcg levels I don't know what to think or where to turn.

So happy I found this post! I'm concerned - my HCG levels came back and they are technically still in the normal range (3617). My doctor said that is ok, but he wanted to see a ten fold increase (levels from last week were 520, so I should have been 5,200). He said the minimum they should be is 2800, so technically it's ok, but I'm still really worried. I'm 5 weeks and 3 days now. I've also been diagnosed with PCOS. After over a year of failure TTC the natural way and then with the help of clomid, we tried IUI  amd i got pregnant on the first try! Just hoping everything goes well - Praying for a healthy baby!

I'm kinda in the same boat. I took a positive pg test on april 7th. Ive had 2 miscarriage before to I went to the ER to get checked out. I had an U/S done and they found the sac. I also had my hcg level tested.

I went back that next day and tested my hcg level again and it only went up 10%. The dr called and told me I will be miscarring.

I waited for a week and nothing happened. I called my dr and she told me to come in for another U/S. This time they found a heatbeat and the beginning of the spine. She told me the baby is still growing to wait another week and come back. She said I was 5w6d.

Once again I went back  a week later. baby is still growing. 6w5d. The heartbeat is 145.  Dr said I can still  miscarry at any time, not to get my hopes up. I did start to spot a little on and off a couple weeks ago and had some cramping but so far everything is ok.

I go back may 22 to hear the heartbeat. (fingers crossed)
Today May 1st Im 8 weeks.

She also wants me to get tested for birth defects. not sure if I really want to.  Has anyone had those tests done???  My husband really thinks we should.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and yesterday my Ultrasound showed my baby at 5 weeks. I have been spotting and my HCG level on Friday was 8600. I was told I am most likely having a miscarriage. I never had one before and have 1 beautiful 4 year old. I took another HCG blood draw yesterday and waiting for the results. I don't even know what to think but hopeful after reading some of these stories. The doctor was so vague and I was alone at the appointment. Was the sac empty or is it possible for late ovulation but 3 weeks off? I am so confused.

This is an old thread but I too have hcg levels that are only rising by 20% (1439 - 1739) in 48 hours. I just wondered if anyone had a gestational sac that measured one week behind dates too? Did you kjbutcher?
