what's going on with my hcg level

[unexpectedmomma]

I went to the er friday night due to cramps and back pain. I found out i was pregnant...after having a pelvic exam, two ultrasounds and blood work done, the dr informed me that i was threatening a miscarriage. my hcg level was at 400. when they did the ultrasound there was also no baby, but a cyst like thingy in the sac instead. the dr said yes i am pregnant, but too early to see a baby. he also told me to wait a few days and come back to check my hcg levels again stating that it should double or triple if i haven't already had a miscarriage or carrying a tubal baby. well i went today and my hcg on went up to 500. that's only a 100 increase since friday. what's wrong with my levels? have i had a miscarriage without knowing or have a tubal pregnancy? i have to go in again tomorrow for a third blood test and an ultrasound. has ANYONE went thru this b4? somebody please help me....

Hang in there! If you lose this one, you'll have another. I know that can be insensitive of people to say but its true. After I miscarried in june, I became pregnant again 2 months later so I'm currently 12w & 1d. Having another doesn't make the pain of the lost baby any easier but at least you know you can move on. I hope for the best for you sweetie. Stay strong.

This happened to me with my second miscarriage. My levels weren't doubling so my doctor decided to do a d&c . I'm really sorry this is happening to you, but dont give up hope.

Omg...I'm so sorry for your lost. i hope I'm not having a miscarriage. they said today it was good that it went up, but I'm on pins and needles cuz all i keep hearing in my ears is what the doctor told me " it should double or triple" im jus feeling so sad because i do want this child. i really do. they dnt even kno how far along i am. my last cycle was sept 28. i do have irregular cycles. i was told i was 6wks5days as of friday but the dr said i had to be earlier than that if my levels was at 400. thanks for your input tho. please say a little prayer for me if u can...thanks

I miscarried this past june at 7 weeks. My levels were around 1200 & they couldn't see a baby at all. They said it was possible I wasn't as far as I had thought bc they should have seen baby. And thought I had a tubal baby. But they wanted me to go to the doc in 2 days to have levels checked and I did. Later that night I was in terrible pain and went back to the er only to find my levels went up about 150 or so. But they still couldnt find baby so I had to have it aborted where ever it was. But you're still early in the pregnancy that the baby may not have implanted. But it sounds like to me you're losing it. I'm so sorry if that is the outcome.
