am i really having a miscarriage?

i was told on thursday morning that i was having a missed miscarriage. however it is now late sunday night and ive barley bled enough to fill 2 pads. my cramping only lasted a day and a half and wasnt even as bad as my periods are. i still have all of my pregnancy symptoms tho. and they said my cervix was closed and that the fetal sac was still in the bottom of my uterus and my hcg was only a 616. but i dont feel like i miscarried. could the dr be wrong. most of the blood was brown with very very small clots and some dark red.. any help?

well the same thing happened to me just thursday well it started wednesday n they told me the same thing n i felt the same way about the situation but i really passed out my bby yesterday. I think ur hcg is too low it should b doubling every 48 to 72 hrs. but just trust God, but i think your going through the same thing i went through. I'm so sorry!

I had a feeling something was wrong when I had my MC and then the bleeding started it was actually really light but lasted 6wks.  So the drs now realized that I should have had a D&C because it casued alot of issues for me.

When I had my missed mc last year, I didnt have any symptoms that anything had gone wrong till I had my scan. They saw no heartbeat during the external scan then when they did the vaginal u/s to confirm the findings i started bleeding brown blood.

I misscarried and didn't even know. it wasn't till 4 wks later that i had slight spotting and my body still wasn't doing anything after 5-6weeks so i had to have d&c. the day i had my first scan with healthy heart beat i dated 6weeks and 3 days then when i finally knew i had miscarried bub was measuring exactly 6weeks and 3days. it took a long time for me to believe i had really lost bub cause i still had all the normal pregnancy symptoms and no signs anything was  wrong.

If your hcg is that low, than you are having a miscarriage. You will still have pregnancy symptoms until your levels go down further. Sorry for your loss.

Women don't know when they have a missed miscarriage. That's when the baby doesn't make it but your  body doesn't realize it.  Usually a d&c is given when there is a missed miscarriage. Though even without a d&c the fetus should pass on it's own once the body realizes what's going on.

However, if you feel like your doctor was wrong, you can always seek a second opinion.
