my nightmare! *2nd update*

Getting pregnant a second time so quickly seemed like a dream to me. Now I'm left in limbo for a few more days and don't know what to think.

I've had brown spotting for 3 days, when it started I called the dr and was sent to have a sono done. According to my LMP I should be 9 weeks, the sono showed a sac only and I measured only 5.5 weeks. My spotting has gotten a little darker, very very little blood from time to time but it could be from the internal that was done.

Went to the dr. yesterday, did bloodwork. She is being optimistic that my dates could very well be off. I wasnt so optimistic, I said by that much? and she said she experienced the same exact thing and her dauther is now 11 yrs old. She said lets wait for the blood results.

So my results came in, HCG 3,000 and Progesterone 9. She said the pro is lower than she would like it to be but the numbers coincide with the sono and we can't rule it a m/c just yet.

I go for a repeat blood test monday, if the numbers double, I could just be earlier in the pregnancy, if they drop I'm miscarrying. I'm too afraid to be optimistic, I think it's just gonna end in a m/c.

What a nightmare this has turned out to be! My dr. keeps reassuring me if we m/c that there is nothing wrong with me but she will refer me to a dr. to do genetic testing just to ease my mind, but she stressed to me that she lost 2 babies before having 2 successful ones.

*UPDATE*
I went in for bloodwork again today but since saturday afternoon I've been lightly bleeding so the dr. pretty much said I'm prob going to miscarry. She doesn't want to do a D&C bc she said the sac was measuring so small she would rather my body take care of it on its own. The worst part is that I'm bleeding so light and barely cramping so she said it could take about 2 weeks to pass Chat Icon

Next tuesday I go in to check my levels and then she will refer me to a maternal fetal specialist which I'm assuming is an RE so they can run extensive bloodwork and possibly figure out what, if anything, is causing the miscarriages.

This Blows! I wanna hide under a rock and cry, kick and scream!

*2nd update*
So on Thurs my HCG was 3594 and Pro was 9, I got my results from yesterdays blood test, HCG 3500 and pro 6.5. Dr. said my levels are starting to drop which is a definite miscarriage. As sad and upsetting as it is, I'm glad to finally have some definite answers that it is a bad pregnancy. I was so up in the air not knowing since wednesday what the heck was going on. Next tues I go back for a checkup and bloodwork...I pray my levels drop quick!

I am being as positive as I can be, DH and I will schedule an appt. with a specialist as soon as this m/c is over, get more answers, then we decided to give my body and mind a 2-3 month break, enjoy the summer and then we'll get back on the horse! God help us!

This will not beat me down! I will hold a precious baby (that I will give birth to) one day!

Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers... Chat Icon
