Decreasing HCG levels

I went to the doc on Tues and from the date I believe was first day of LMP I should have been 6wks but on the u/s it was only showing about 5 wks.  I had blood taken on both Tues and Thurs.  Yesterday when I called for my results allthey said was the my hcg levels decreased and I was most likey going to miscarry.  I miscarried in November, I just don't feel it.  Am I being naive??? Has anyone heard of someone having a healthy child after intially having decling hcg levels.  

Thank you in advance for any advice. Just reading other stories have made me feel less alone... So Thanks

I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage(s).  I went through the same thing last year.  My hcg levels continued to rise but not at a 'normal' rate.  I had a 5 week sac that didn't change and no fetus was visible.

I know women who have had multiple miscarriages who have babies now.  Keep trying and try to remain hopeful.  Your time/baby will come!

hi, i have the same problem, if you based my pregnancy on the first day of my LMP (Feb 22) I should be more than 10 weeks now but last monday my US showed the baby didn't grow and only 6 weeks 1 day, but US it was 6 weeks 4 days, i dnt understand why its inconsistent. if its not growing it should stay on 6 weeks 4 days. I did my test in dubai and dr said i will miscarry, but i need a second opinion and went back to philippines to see a doctor, tomorrow is my appt, i am still hoping hoping to hear my baby's heartbeat and grows. I also a cyst measuring 6.6cmx3.5cm. I am really scared. But you know what i dont feel any cramping, no bleeding or spotting, that's it my question.

Good Luck hun, I do hope you get good news, just FYI, my US at 5 weeks 3  days showed a empty sac measuring only at less then 5 weeks, had new US today and finally saw the baby and heart beat, and now measuring at 6W and 1 day (right on target) so as I just learned there are still things wrong with US when that early, was told I had a blighted Ovum, well now I have a baby and perfect size sac, I will pray you get good news too!!!
