Ultrasound

[klydia0418]

I went in for my ultrasound yesturday and they did not see anything in the sac yet. I have to go back in 3 weeks and get another ultrasound done. I had 2 hcg levels done first one was 34 and the second one was almost 200. I have had a D&C done last year.  LMP was March 1 2011. Is it possible that there is a problem with me and my partner?? I just done want to lose another baby again

This is my third pregnancy. My first child is 5 years old and I didnt have a problem at all with her. My second was a miscarriage which I had a D&C done and then this one which was a complete miscarriage. So I dont know why Im having problems carrying a baby now. My first pregnancy I had no problems or complications with so, I really dont know what to do or what to think. Maybe something is wrong with me....I dont know

RH factor shouldnt be a factor unless you have had multiple pregnancy and now have antibodies built up (which they genereally test you for in your initial bloodwork)....

You should however, get a Rhogam shot within 72 hours of your miscarriage if you are RH - to prevent the build up of antibodies.....

Well I had a complete miscarriage. When I go back to the doctor Im going to ask them bout the RH factor to see maybe if that is the problem. Thank u everybody so much

i am so sorry you are going through this

thoughts are with you

Yeah the spotting is bright red and passing clots too. My doctors office is closed so Im getting ready to goto the hospital. Cramps are painful and im having pain in my back too

If the spotting is bright red and cramps are painful yes call your doctor. Some spotting can be normal in early pregnancy though.

Hi again. I woke up this morning with spotting and cramping in my stomach. It comes and goes. Do you think that I should be concerned?? Do you think that I should call my doctor??

[klydia0418]

Ok thank u so much and I will repost on Monday to update my levels and everything.

That's completely understandable.  Just get over this first hurdle of seeing what your next HCG level is. If it's doubled or more from the last one that's a really good sign.

[klydia0418]

Yeah there is a possibility. Im getting ready to goto the Doctors now cuz they want to run more tests and blood work. Its really weird cuz my daughter is 5 years old and I didnt find out I was pregnant with her until I was 3 months into the pregnancy. So Im just a lil scared right now cuz I just dont want to have to do another D&C again!!

Based on the fact that your HCG has risen that sounds promising.  It IS possible that you ovulated way late making you not as far along as you would think based on your last period.  Give it a little time, it sounds like you caught this pregnancy really early!  Good luck!  

Oh and even if you do miscarry this time, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with you or your partner.  The average healthy couple can experience 2-3 miscarriages in their reproductive lifetime.  This is why many doctors won't even consider doing fertility testing until after the 3rd miscarriage.  A miscarriage is natures way of taking care of a pregnancy that would not otherwise be viable for whatever reason - usually chromosomal abnormalities.  This is just something that happens!  I, myself, have been pregnant 8 times, I've had two miscarriages, a full term stillbirth (cord accident) and I have 5 beautiful kids!  Keep faith :)
